George Orwell: "The really frightening thing about totalitarianism is not that it commits atrocities but that it attacks the concept of objective truth."

@TomWellborn

People who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

@TomWellborn

Really? I thought that was Orwell.

Yeah, I suck at quoting classics. I'm much more at home with "Genre" fiction.

@TomWellborn idk i think the atrocities are the really bad bit

@TomWellborn

1984 is a utopia though. it has organised resistance, the people in power has wants and desires, the best the tyrants could do was immobile cameras and loudspeakers, &c. &c.
