“The point is I would gladly step in front of traffic for you…”<\/p>\n
“…and the last thing, I would ever do…is lie to you.”<\/p>\n
Hey, remember when I opined about which was worse, fascism or anarchism? I do.<\/p>\n
“Cue the Sun.”<\/p>\n
Well, this is “gentle, benign, loving” fascism. Sweeter than Landru and as adaptable as any other brave new world.<\/p>\n
People in general are selfish, self-centered a$$holes. So don’t give me that lunacy about people “being able to govern themselves”.<\/p>\n
But, given the controls necessary to protect decent people from scumbags (that would be agreed upon by anyone except a lunatic)…the former is just so much worse than the latter; so much more inhuman, more wrong.<\/p>\n
Orwell overestimated people. Most of us don’t need fear to keep us in line, just enough personal comfort to pretend everything else is ok.<\/p>\n
It’s only a matter of time before something approaching ‘Brave’ is available, and most people say “yes, please!” to carefully monitored, administered, benign and loving control.<\/p>\n
Check out a great horror film.<\/p>\n
