They don’t match up entirely to 1984, but it feels like these nations are going to gobble up countries like Hungry Hungry Hippos.

    Look up the Technocracy movement. These ideas have been floating around in certain groups for a while… Such as the heritage foundation

    I’m pretty sure the coincidences are just that, coincidental. Most of those fuckers not only haven’t read a book they probably can’t read just like their glorious leader.

      People are convinced Trump got the idea for the Patriot Games from watching The Hunger Games. I refuse to believe Trump has ever watched a movie or read a book

    I honestly don’t see China gobbling up countries (and America has been at it for ages by now, so it’s not a possibility, there’s at least one known hippo!), at most I see the reunification of Taiwan after America slowly cedes it as they transition to a (very powerful) regional power. Idk about Russia though, Europe has always been a warzone with small breaks. 🤷😕
