@Baldimo,
I haven't "explained" anything.
Huxley offers a
description in about a hundred words which applies to neither the granfalloons of the left nor the right. The people —
the consumers — have made this choice, seduced by the vapid promises of our cultural mythology which we persist in calling the "American dream". Educational standards have been watered down, workers' jobs have been "de-skilled", infrastructure has been allowed to decay, our current government weakens environmental and consumer safety laws and offers us some silly version of "freedom" where access to weapons is deemed more important than access to clean air and safe drinking water. I hardly have to draw attention to the opioid problem, the epidemic of obesity, and the rise of the anti-vaccination movement, all signs of an underlying sickness independent of your obsolete political categories.
You mention "thought" and "face" crimes — can you supply any examples? And how is "free speech" in danger?
