>Care to elaborate? This seems like a personal attack.
Your post seemed to me mainly composed of
1. some quotes from Orwell
2. a knock against that all-purpose bogeyman "the Left" as an enabler of fascism. Which is funny how often the Left is an enabler of the ultra-right, but the Right never is.
3. and some references to such vague things as shared national culture. Which, I mean, not to put too fine a point on it - a concern with a shared national culture is really top priority with those nasty people the Left enables.
All these abstractions show someone who maybe lives in a world of ideas, and I thought it's funny that Orwell in the same part where he talked about the nasty Left and so forth, also noted this marked characteristic as something that was one of the roots of their problems.
Finally, and I didn't point this out before but I shall now, I doubt that Orwell's Left is the same as today, mortality being what it is, and the cause of personal disaffection from the national culture might not have the same causes as it did in the 20s-40s.
The Left that makes saying "God Save the Queen" unpopular has been replaced by media that makes it old-fashioned and silly (Look at that Silly John Lydon up there, done up like my granny!), and while I know that it is often pleasant to point at the media and say Look, the Left - I think there is just as much reason to point at it and say Look, the Corporations!
Although since saving the Queen has been out of fashion for longer than I've been alive I have to think there may be bonds less nation-state sounding that have been worn through more recently that we could worry about, and whatever those bonds should be, if we were to agree to worry about them being broken I would think it were more reasonable to accuse multinational corporations of destroying them than a powerless political viewpoint. Or, if we were to choose a political viewpoint as the chief source of our woes, then choose one with more power at the moment - such as The Right.
on edit: however I didn't downvote you although your on edit about truth at the end did put it right on the border. Because who really knows what the truth is.
