George Orwell ranks among the most profound social critics of the modern era.
Some of his quotations, more than a half a century old, show the depth of understanding an enlightened mind can have about the future. 1) “In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics.’ All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.” Though many in the modern age have the will to bury their head in the sand when it comes to political matters, nobody can only concern themselves with the proverbial pebble in their shoe. If one is successful in avoiding politics, at some point the effects of the political decisions they abstained from participating in will reach their front door. 2) “All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.” 3) “War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.”
Haditha.

Mainstream pressure to capture that perfect romantic moment may have you searching for meaning in pesticide-laden mass-produced red roses or individually-wrapped, heart-shaped artificial chocolates and sweatshop-stitched lingerie. All this has a compound price tag. The Romantic-Industrial-Complex rakes in around $18 billion a year selling us this heteronormative, commodified, perfectionist, inequitable, ecologically destructive Valentine’s Day. This information could break your heart, since celebrating relationships — consenting, accountable and loving ones — should really be a good thing.
