It doesn't matter if its capitalism or socialism if a hand full of people are given all the authority you always end up in hell

[@012345678920855]

Scary how the books showing us of a fictional future coming true. And now these books are starting to be banned

[@rhammond7517]

If you don't control your mind someone else will

[@anthonytelles2226]

A little ironic using AI generated images for this. You always had such great taste for the art and images shown in your videos. Please go back to that!

I must say Huxley was correct about America. The over indulgence has led to a non productive society as a whole. Legalize drugs and having a society that isn't just escapist, but also non performing.

[@niccoloflorence]

Look what is happening to Julian Assange: can you still say we are not in a totalitarian society!

[@im_that_guy]

Your ability to talk about politics without being political is impressive.

[@yourmom9951]

Society has shown time and time again, more so in recent history, how they are more willing to trade freedom for comfort. The desire for Immediate gratification has never been higher

[@rebeccadanvers884]

I found Huxley's dystopia much more frightening that Orwells

''Democracies die, not from military coups, but from being dismantled slowly by bureaucrats and judges, through libel laws, through tax audits, and procedure''. This is what a BBC Radio 4 program called 'Analysis:How To Dismantle a Democracy' will say tonight.

[@traillesstravelled7901]

They're both right. That's why the 3 circle diagram of 1984, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451 , hits hard and is accurate. Remember it possible for multiple things to happening at the same time.

Over 20 years ago, when I was in 8th grade, my principal stopped me in the hall to tell me that my copy of 1984 was inappropriate for me to have, that I wasn't old enough to read it, and not to bring it back to school.

[@jerryjones7293]

I read both of these books before I was 14. Now, 55 years later, I appreciate them much more.

[@decreasethyself1212]

Old books will tell so much more than modern news or even events.

[@sprezzatura8755]

Roman emperors famously gave the populace "bread and circuses" when there was unrest.

[@jkdeadman7696]

I feel like we are controlled through both pleasure and pain.

[@SavageDiarrhea2447]

We are already living in a mixture of 1984 and Brave New World. I'm currently waiting for a real life triple mix with Fahrenheit 451.

[@TyStevens299]

INCREDIBLE. All we need to do is “look” around.. and “SEE” what’s going on!

[@Kronikalrag3]

I always have this image in my head of people who are oblivious to there own reality. It's of a swimmer coming up for air except he is tethered to the bottom by the foot , there is full range of movement so the individual feels "free" and can come up for air anytime , but in reality the pool is being drained and filled giving the illusion of ones own freedom.
