Tomorrow they'll prohibit 1984, Animal Farm and will remove Hitler from history course. A day after that they'll put cameras in you apartment, as a required part of lease.
Welcome to brave new USA.
Welcome to brave new USA.
If you can get people to actually love you rather than fear you, you don't need a surveillance system in every house (or every neighbourhood as the Stasi system was set up).
The problem with Hitler was that the propaganda was rock solid (so, yeh, ignorance in the sense of misdirection I guess) and initially he fixed some stuff, or appeared too, that was important to the populace.
Of course he then turned out to be insane but by that point (and more precisely the point when the populace started to realize) it was kinda too late.
