This might have been the breaking point for most people. Everything is political and I (for one) have been completely fed up with it. However, this felt like a “sit down, shut up and drink your damn beer and like it bigot” moment. Pushed way over the line this time...we’ll see how how fed up people really are in about a month-—or how stupid they are!
“So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.”
― George Orwell, 1984
