Interesting remark about "the values they preach". It seems so often what is preached and what is practiced are polar opposites. Preach "inclusive" but if you lean "conservative" you are not to be tolerated. Preach "liberal" but refuse to accept any view counter to a narrowly defined acceptable narrative e.g. "freedom of choice" unless that choice involved to whom you sell your baked goods, what school your kids attend, or what caliber you choose to carry.
This too was part of Orwell's formula. More evidence Orwell was in fact a time traveler who'd been here ;-).
