The more comments and news I read about the US the more Orwellian it feels.

You guys really need a massive left-shift away from the omnipresent government which regulates bodies more than companies.

At some point, someone is going to figure out George Orwell was actually a time traveler, and he tried to fix things with books. He had to deliver the message that way because if he just shouted in the streets the things that were going to happen, he'd been written off as a madman. Change a few details here and there... and then sell it as "fiction"...

I have been to a few spots over there and it is crazy how different culturally it is. Nothing is away from politics and cops get called fot eeeeverything.

Oh we're talking about police killings suddenly? I thought we were talking about civil rights?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The comment was talking about things being Orwellian. Is it not Orwellian to have police killing many, many civilians?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

There's other things.

For example, the UK is the most surveiled populace over any whole country. Which is neat.
