Re: O'Brien just called from '84, he wants his dystopian police-state back

Seriously. What's worse than government controlling speech? Government in partnerships with megacorporations controlling speech. Unfortunately, it looks like the modern progressives have learned from their pre-WWII predecessors - you keep big business around to do your dirty work and then use them as an ablative shield when people finally figure out that they live in a police state. The dissidents have already politely sorted and presented themselves for reeducation, internment, or execution. The Germans are already halfway there, but of course they have experience.

You don't make the world better with force - Americans keep trying this and it keeps backfiring spectacularly. You make it better by engaging with people who are wrong (like racists) one at a time. You make it better by living as a better person yourself and setting an example for others. Anger and violence - even righteous anger and violence - only beget more anger and violence. Be this guy:
