A comment on George Orwell’s 1940 Review of Mein Kampf. Parent comment
Today's writing about politics mostly seems much more convoluted, bloodless and meaningless.
I don't think that the main reason for that is with the writer though.
I think the reason is the "triumph of liberal democracy" or capitalism.
We have invented a pretty robust sugar-coat for the interests of the powerful.
Nowadays, we even call some of our exploitation schemes "eco-friendly".
