George Orwell: "The really frightening thing about totalitarianism is not that it commits atrocities but that it attacks the concept of objective truth."
People who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
@Bullix Voltaire
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 dude. Deep.
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.
