But that's four people..
Was that supposed to be some sort of joke or do you actually not know Orwell himself was: a rapist, a snitch, a plagiarist, and a racist? One man, four horrible qualities.
No, the joke was the the former. And not the point of the post. Rather than dismiss the reality we're in, presented by various authors reflecting the cyclical nature of mankind, it would be advantageous to the self to reflect on as well.
