Absolutely unbelievable that the 75th anniversary edition of 1984 was published with a foreword apologizing for the book’s “problematic” content and author. Talk about being blind to irony

100%. Partisanship is a cancer.
Being politically partisan makes you stupid. If someone you perceive as being on the other side says something reasonable, you either have to argue against it (and thus be unreasonable) or misinterpret it (and thus be obtuse).
