“Political or military commentators, like astrologers, can survive almost any mistake, because they more devoted followers do not look to them for an appraisal of the facts but for the stimulation of nationalistic loyalties. And aesthetic judgements, especially literary judgements, are often corrupted in the same way as political ones.”
[George Orwell, “Notes on nationalism”, In Defence of English Cooking, Penguin Books, 2005, p. 12]
