You obviously haven't read much about Orwell, he was a socialist and sympathetic to anarchist movements to the point that he helped fight in the Spanish Civil War, he was on the far left himself. Also, 1984 is an anagram for 1948, the year of the book's release. I think it's safe to say that it wasn't a warning of the future, but a warning of the circumstances that had already begun.

Doesn't change the fact that SJWs are the exact thought police in other books like Fahrenheit 451.

I've never read that book, I'm not really sure what you mean by thought police though, they don't know people's thoughts so the only way they can criticize people is if they're explicit about their thoughts, and thus it's merely one side responding to another side and vice versa.

And now you have SJWs arguing for speech laws in many countries, acting as thought police to get people penalized in countries where they have control (like the UK) and fired in countries where they can only show outrage (US). You have people running around, watching for people to have wrong thought like Daryle Lamont Jenkins just so they can get them fired or worse. You've got fascists running around claiming to be anti-fascist, attacking people with wrong thought and being the text-book definition of terrorist to get you to think a certain way. They're watching you, they're waiting for you to say something they don't like, and then they punish you if they catch you. All that's different here is that they've eschewed the use of government force in favor of social force, and that's only in America.

You obviously aren't paying much attention to what's happening around you, because the Thinkpol is here.

Sometimes I click on this thread, read a couple posts, and have to do a double take that I didn't actually end up in this thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=236220&page=1#

They have control in the UK? What reality are you living in? And I'm not sure you understand what fascism is, it's not just anyone that uses violence, or else every military would be considered fascist. Also, I'm not sure what you think should be done, do  you think that they shouldn't be allowed to criticize others? Because ironically that'd be curtailing the free speech that you'll saying that they're limiting.

Darth Vader wears a cape.

You do realize that SW had an extremely successful extended universe, right?  Comics and novels.  There is a ton of material that Disney could pull from that would attract die hard fans.  And if done well, like Marvel, they would also appeal to the masses.

Ok, this has to be a joke.  Han Solo was a huge part of the OG trilogy and a fan favorite.  An actual good film about him, with a better choice for actor and without the writer using the film to push his own political agenda, would have done much better than this.

Yes.  Its been poorly managed.  Why?  Because of those exact political agendas I talk about.  They are putting those first, as well as attacking those who disagree, then worrying about making the films. 

Consumers are used to 2-3 MCU movies?  Yea, but did it start out like that?  No.  Between late '08 and mid '11, we got just one Marvel film.  People are fine with it because they enjoy those films.  If they were bad, you can guarantee they would not be pumping them out like that.  SW could enjoy the same thing.

And competition?  Another poor excuse.  POTC:AWE made more money than Solo, and that was up against Shrek 3's 2nd week, which made more than Deadpool 2's 2nd weekend, and Spider-Man 3's 4th week, which made only a little less than IW.  And POTC is not SW. 

I know you like to imagine that the people who are boycotting the film, and disagree with Kathleen Kennedy and crew's political agenda, makes up, what?  5% of the fanbase.  But you're wrong.  It's much larger than that.  And they are joined by people who probably mostly agree with her, but they don't want that crap in their SW, especially so poorly implemented. 

~$83.3M.  Even less than the lowest of expectations.

"Only if they're explicit about their thoughts"...

Wait, so you're saying it's OK to think anything you want, as long as you don't express it?

So if you say some scientific stuff like "There are 2 genders determined by chromosomes" or "Men and women, or Caucasians and Africans are not biologically identical", and if it displeases our SJWs overlord, it's bad?

Because in the book you go to jail (or get killed?) as soon as the government knows that you hold scientific knowledge, or any kind of independant thought. So scientists memorize scientific books, go to exile and shut up, waiting for better times to come in order to bring back knowledge to humanity at that time. Otherwise, only mindless puppets watching TV all day are allowed. Or the firemen in charge of burning the books (and heretics IIRC, not sure about that).

Yep, your doubt makes that story so much better... 

I live in the US, and I consistently read up on stories where speech is shown to be clearly not free. Teaching a dog to do a Nazi salute, for example, is awful but by no means something for which someone should judicially fight for two years and receive a fine.

And I don't think you understand what Fascism is, or your response would have been "You mean, Antifa? I denounce them". The flip side of that argument is you do know what fascism is and aren't up to date with what happens when anyone right-of-center tries to speak at a college campus, or you do know and endorse Antifa's fascist actions.

No, criticism is how we maintain awareness of what we're doing. Criticism is part of the way the world works. But I do believe that Antifa members should be under watch by authorities and officially labeled a terrorist organization (if they aren't already, the jury seems to be only partially in about that). As far as the social ramifications are concerned? Big companies need to nut up and quit caving the SJW shenanigans. They're just as much of a vocal minority as the other side of that equation.
