George Orwell is a pretty cool guy, eh kills fascists and doesn't afraid of anything

I am going to make my tea like Orwell from now on!
-
Thats just the way I make my tea, with salt!

@LegendKnight93 No it's just an actor. The real Orwell wrote a book on how to make the perfect cup of tea.
-
Is that the real Orwell talking about tea?

"BUTTER TOAST! we're sitting down to lovely butter toast!"

Moral relativity is a great research tool, not policy-setting guidance.
Our morality is WHAT moral system do we CHOOSE as our own.
Objective truth does exist (in cituations of uncertainty, statistically).

IOW, the real ideal for the free society is EQUALITY OF ALL BEFORE COMMON LAW.
No one is "more equal" than any other.
TOLERANCE FOR ALL EXCEPT the INTOLERANT!
Today's postmodernist liberals want everyone to be equal SO MUCH that they don't see the real differences there ARE.
We really must use precise laguage: everyone has equal innate self-worth, being a human being. Believing the opposite leads to Fascism, just like Islam's belief in its Superiority and right to Rule over others.
"Badass" is exactly right. He is one of the very few great English badasses.

"I flung [the bomb] and thre myself on my face. By one of those strokes of luck... I had managed to to drop the bomb exactly where the rifle had flashed. There was the roar of the explosion and then, instantly, a diabolical outcry of screams and groans. We had got one of [the Fascists] anyway; I don't know whether he was killed, but he was certainly badly hurt" (Homage to Catalonia, Orwell, p. 96-97).
That's why George Orwell is my favorite writer. He kills fascists, then writes about it.
