From the new Wikipedia competitor, Conservapedia’s entry for Orwell’s 1984:
1984 was a book by George Orwell. 1984 describes an alternate history in which Oceania (Australia) is at war with Eurasia. It is a utopian book because it talks about a place where everyone is watched over by Big Brother, who makes sure people are doing what they are supposed to.
The protagonist is Winston Smith. Thre is something about rats at the end, but it is confusing. The end is probably supposed to be ambigous.
Um, utopian? Ignore the awful spelling, the nearly useless second paragraph (sentence?), and just focus on the fact that the entry completely and totally missed the freaking point of the book!
And they claim that liberals have bias and are polarizing. Conservatives are the ones that see themselves as part of an ideological struggle… they’re the ones that start things simply to push an ideological point of view. This fake Wikipedia is an embarrassment. The irony is that 1984 is a book that conservatives could squeeze out a narrative for their worldview as Big Brother is supposed to be a socialist government run amok. It’s really hard to understand how anyone could miss this, considering that the party is called Ingsoc (English Socialism for those that don’t get Newspeak).
Contrast this to the useful Wikipedia entry that, among providing more insight, at least properly identifies the book as a dystopia.
