One thing that still irks them is that they can’t FORCE us to change the way we think.
“One thing that still irks them is that they can’t FORCE us to change the way we think.”
That was done in the book/movie, 1984, written by George Orwell. The thought police could see into your apartment and if they saw any behavior, like reading a book, or not doing your exercises, any behavior that was not like the other robot people, they would grab you and destroy your brain.
People ratted on their family members and neighbors if anyone expressed an independent thought. History books were rewritten, too.
We are fast approaching that because we are thinking now about what we write and say, fearful of being called a racist or hater and legal action being taken against us if we own a business or have a job (losing our job because we are called a racist/hater).
