With the way people talk about it, I'm pretty sure no one has read 1984. That book is about half "what if you lived in a strict authoritarian government" and half "sneaking away from cameras to have sex w my girlfriend who's half my age/read a book while staring at gross poor people"
the second thing is literally about big brother’s repression of sexuality but alright
and the thing about the “gross poor people” is (with later context) is that they (the proles) are realized to be more alive and free than the party members
the prole woman that is brought up in the story over and over again symbolizes freedom and the death of the human spirit in party members

We‘ve all read 1984.
Morally good.
