Possibly Idealism was just a sign of youff.
Anyway as the below article is about 1984 i had to share it here.
(It might affect your idealism further sorry.)

We Are All Living in George Orwell’s World Now

He is easy to quote, but what would the iconoclastic British socialist really have thought about politics today?

More ‘newish’ music. From the Fauves latest release which came out in November last year.

 
I don't know whether you have watched Adolescence yet 3KZ is Football it is very good.

‘Adolescence’ Stars Discuss Their Father-Son Bond, and Questions of a Sequel

In an interview, the actors Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham explore the social and personal impact of the Netflix hit about a teenager accused of murder, including Cooper’s newfound schoolyard stardom.

Opinion | ‘Adolescence’ and the Surprising Difficulty of Hugging a Teen Son

I didn’t know how to tear down that wall of silence and mystery that creeps up between parents and their teens, but I knew doing so was essential.

I’ve held off, in part, because I live it at work with some students in terms of attitudes. I will watch it these holidays. Colleagues have said it is good and I trust your judgement.

I'm just about to watch episode 2.
 
It's a heavy and loaded show. I started a long diatribe about "Fathering' and wiped it, too early in the morning for that.

Currently I am reading, 'Emma Darwin, The Inspirational Wife Of A Genius' (yes, she's Darwin's wife). Interesting how they came from Unitarian background and all the cousins marrying each other.

That is understandable. It is freighted but I wince at what you will think of the school parts considering.

I went to see the new Count of Monte Cristo yesterday, which was shown as part of the French Film Festival. The cinema was full, which was a nice change. It was really good.

The Count of Monte Cristo | Palace Cinemas

Pierre Niney leads a stellar cast in Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière’s thrilling new adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ epic adventure THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, the first French cinematic treatment of the iconic tale of romance and redemption in over fifty years.

God yes. The last episode is really challenging about the role of parents and the changes in society.

While I didn't have a father like the one referred to by Stephen Graham's character, he was a second world war veteran with all the crap that that entails. And there certainly was/is the attitude that I wasn't going to do that to my kids.

Fortunately I've watched it with my youngest and she and I have had a debrief after every episode. It doesn't solve anything, it certainly opens up lines of communication.

I hug my sons nearly every day and tell them that I love them. The 15 year old is all elbows and discomfort, and the 13 year old is quick to point out he isn’t a baby anymore. I have to initiate. But … and this is the important bit, they will both, at different times, reciprocate and we share a quiet moment of paternal love. I have a friend who is a psychologist and she has said on many occasions that this is a super important thing to do. I am also not afraid to cry in front of the boys if something moves me.

As a Greek Australian, I have grown up around people (ironically my Australian father was the exception) who were emotionally open and physically expressive. Cuddles, kisses, hair tousled, cheeks pinched, the full range of cultural ways of expressing love. I hope my boys keep it up.
