I did not know eugenics was this scary, holy fuck
They viewed genocide as a KINDNESS?

'In a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me.'

This is taking 'black children are born guilty' to such a deeper level. They don't talk about this stuff in school. I don't think they talk about slavery enough in general. And to think that Texas is trying to interchange the word 'slave' with 'worker' in school textbooks, as if they weren't castrated and raped for entertainment. As if furniture wasn't made out of human skin and bones weren't carved into trophies.

"Freedom is the ability to die hating them."

Why is Winston comparing the action of her taking her clothes off to a gesture that would annihilate an entire civilization. I laughed at that because what.

Something is fucking WRONG with Winston. I figured that he was off when he kicked the severed hand into the gutter, but I was not ready for him to look at Julia and tell her that he had thought about raping and murdering her. And then she just laughed about it? Help. It makes sense for two people raised in such a restrictive, authoritarian society to be fucked up, but wow.

Finally, something is happening!!!

I already love Clarion

Magnetic and repulsive is how I would describe this book.
