Apparently a man has been arrested in the U.K for inciting racial hatred with the following tweet [TRIGGER WARNING]:

Hope this shitbag is hit with the full force of the law. This kind of deplorable activity has no place in our society.



Swish,

Could explain this situation?

Not that I'm defending his arrest but the source is quite clear on the fact that there were more than 1 tweets.

Also, people really need to stop making references to 1984. Not even North Korea is as fucked as the world in 1984. The comparisons are always superficial and/or misapplied.

Some of the comparisons are actually quite profound regarding 1984. Nobody is saying the world is the same here as it is in the book, but the whole perpetual war thing is pretty damn applicable.

I'm not actually drawing a comparison or even referencing the book. I've not read it ^^. Several useful terms from it have bled into normal political discourse, one of those is wrongthink.
