To me, it's a metaphor for how society makes it so much harder for smarter people to be themselves while celebrating mediocrity at every point and cutting the head off of anyone who sticks theirs out above the rest
It is directly explaining how communism works. You want equity between a person who can walk, and one who can't, then you have to destroy the legs of the walking person. That's communism. How do you get equity between a starving person and one who isn't starving? You starve the other. And now you have "equity".
yay I read this for online class assignment and I fell in love with this story so I watch this video before breakfast every morning Edit: WE ARE NOW READING THIS SAME STORY IN MY 10TH GRADE ENGLISH CLASS AND I- 😭😭😭
Me too. I taught high school English and students had a hard time with this story. It confused many. They had no idea what to make of such a "silly" tale. Great opportunity to discuss satire, hyperbole. I always loved the phrase "all Halloween and hardware." Comedy and tragedy intertwined. Vonnegut was a delight.

Their agenda is on a timeline according to the UN's "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". The UN, UNESCO, WEF (ESG, CEI) answer to "climate", let's call them, challenges, is communism. Find James Lindsay if you actually want to know what is currently happening already in 2023.
I’m here because I remember doing it and school and wanted to come back to verify if it was crazy as I remember. Vongut wrote this is 1961. The civil rights act was passed in 63.
I’m here because I had to read this in school 20 years ago! It didn’t make sense to me then, but I never forgot it. So I wanted to hear the story again for comprehension. Now I know that this is what they have been doing to minorities in this country all along! Dumbing us down to be the same as everyone else. And as far as the chains and everything....well......ya know.
equality sounds good on paper but in reality you would have to disable smart people, hide pretty people, weigh down dancers.. just so no-one feels bad about themselves.. it is a warning not to make this kind of future for ourselves.
@@tungsten8332 i was like "where am i" when i seen this lol. im already about to graduate! just at the end of this month. but thanks for telling me dude.
It's funny because if your read the story it sounds like the governments trying to stop a tyrant, but the movie makes it sound like libertarian nightmare. Its a criticism social darwinism the question is what should we do with the old system of Tyrants if that doesn't create a society where all people Successful? How would one get around Social darwinism within society where equality is for everyone, or is that just another lie? Are people just doomed to be poor and suffer because they are ugly, stupid, and weak?

Thank you. The top hits for "Harrison Bergeron audio" on RUclips have completely overly acted readings or unappealing narration. This was perfect.
Thank you!

@@pariah_carey Vonnegut was a socialist. The story was meant to be extreme hyperbole.

What do you think happened? It's pretty well spelled out. Are you not capable of reading comprehension?

huh, who here thinks that this is going to happen soon to us in another 10- 20 years with this social experiment of wokeness and equity

Thank you :)
This shit doesn’t make sense . Am I supposed to take drugs first ?

If this doesn't "make sense" to you, you fail at reading comprehension.

I read this years ago for school and thought of it again the other day
Awesome
I am pretty sure every body is here for school
Im not
Can someone help me out, how is ethos pathos or logos being used in this story???
Dunno
@@TonyX448 the equivalent of a teacher asking a question for you to raise your hand and saying "idk"
...Google is your friend.
For starters, you should perhaps not use words you do not understand.
Welcome to Chop.
I don’t get it lol
Equality good
equity bad
