Consider the possibility that the Orwellian dystopia you fear is already here and has been in place for many years, you just haven’t noticed because you’re still allowed to watch Netflix or buy a gun or say whatever you want to say within a small impotent online echo chamber.
Consider the possibility that the powerful are already getting everything they want from you, right now, exactly as things are, and that any suspicious action you see them taking isn’t them constructing a cage for you but them tightening the bolts on a cage that was quietly built around you some time ago.
Consider the possibility that while they’ve been training you to watch out for communism and microchips and overt totalitarianism, they’ve been covertly transforming us all into mindless gears in a machine constructed to serve their interests which challenges them in no way, shape or form.
Consider the possibility that tyrants have evolved an understanding that you can exert a lot more control over a population with mass-scale psychological manipulation than you can with overt force, and that they have been developing the science of that mass-scale psychological manipulation for over a century................
1984 was a blueprint, not a warning.
Only problem I have with this, what if is.. small children, many are not directly "programed" when still small, even in this age of electronics/pc/tv/cellphones. Global even yet they "exist" same as anyone else though, they do see the world differently than you do as you grow older, things are quite literal to them as they explore their environment. eh, I know what you're saying though.
It is, most people just refuse to acknowledge it.
Now what?
I figured out i was born into it decades ago.
