The British counter-terrorism government organisation, The Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU), has created a list over classic litterature and movies that they consider to be dangerous, since the content is used by “far-right extremist” groups in their propaganda and rhetoric on the Internet according to RICU.

The list, that is claimed to include classic movies and litterature like 1984 by George Orwell, The Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent and the poems of GK Chesterton, The Bridge On The River Kwai, The Great Escape and Zulu, is said to point out that “white nationalists/supremacists” use “key texts” from the this to use in their narrative argumentation, The Daily Mail reports.

Even works by Shakespeare, Chaucer, Milton, Tennyson, Kipling and Edmund Burke is listed as warning signs with a red flag, that is used as material among “extremists” when making quotes and references to the great works.

1984 by Orwell, is considered to be one the most famous and greatest novels of the 20th century, that describes a horrific dystopian future, with a brutal totalitarian government and a surveillance society that uses “orwellian” language to manipulate people’s minds and thoughts.
