I have never met anyone who hated Brave New World, even among the granola Ivy league folks I know
Why does /pol/ constantly feel the need to be in an outrage over dumb shit like this? You posted this thread with a specific answer already in your head based on the 1-dimensional liberal strawman you've constructed, you don't want a real discussion at all
This is why we want you faggots to stay on your containment board
Why do liberals love 1984, but have brave new world?

Because most everyone is happy in bnw. Liberals really hate happy people.

Brave New World is the dystopia they are helping to actually produce while they think they are heroically fighting against the dystopia of 1984.

I wish I lived where you live. All the liberals I know get mad when media has one character who is openly conservative, even if that character is to contrast the predominantly liberal characters or even just as satire. If my brother read Brave New World he'd probably pop a vein.
Blake Johnson
It's not about left vs. right, it's more along the authoritarian vs. libertarian axis. 1984 is an authoritarian dystopia, Brave New World is a libertarian dystopia. Yes, the government in BNW mandates all sorts of things, but the point is they don't have to since the people would willingly do so anyway.

>the point is they don't have to since the people would willingly do so anyway
You could easily argue that it's the same case in 1984, since the Party brainwashes people from birth to rat out anyone regardless of personal bonds. And it's not like stragglers aren't noticed and dealt with in BNW.
Nathan Adams
Where do you live exactly because I couldn't think of a single place like that.
Luis Sullivan
Well everyone knows BNW is a utopia anyway

Since when do liberals hate Brave New World? Also, what's up with the meme that everyone left of center is a "hedonist"? Seriously, have this dumb fucking thread on /pol/. It's like none of you morons actually crawl out of the dungeon to interact with someone who has a different perspective. Or if you do, you stick your heads in the sand as soon as they begin speaking. I have plenty of conservative friends & family members and none of them would make the ridiculous generalizations I'm reading in this thread. Get back to your containment board.
Only good post.

Liberal here. I love Brave New World. Would've loved it more if Huxley had considered the possibility of nuclear weapons in his dystopic setting.
