Anyone else watch the movie "Orwell 2+2 = 5" yet?

I read 1984 about 40 years ago, so I had forgotten how prescient so much of it is. Think I'll go back and reread it.

Once you have created a post-truth society where there are no facts, no baseline, no shared reality other than the one that can be made up on the spot to suit those in power, then you can tell big lies just as easily as you can tell little lies. He was writing that book in the late 1940s, but the authoritarian playbook is timeless.

> Fascists erase violent history for one main reason—to repeat that history

This is why the 'right to archive' trumps both copyright and the 'right to be forgotten'. If it doesn't, we're enabling fascists to use copyright and right to be forgotten trolling to push inconvenient truths down the Memory Hole.

I'm old enough to remember when we Americans thought we had free speech & shit like this was the purview of dystopian scifi & not government mandates.

Scientists brace ‘for the worst’ as Trump purges climate mentions from websites

Trump administration pulling references online ‘won’t make crisis’ stop affecting Americans’ lives, say experts

The Guardian

California Supreme Court has ruled: If you catch Covid from work and then a family member dies from it, you can’t sue your employer.

They said too many employers have disregarded safety protocols.

Too many companies broke the law.

Too many people didn’t do the right thing.

Apparently, expecting them to do the right thing posed an unreasonable burden on them

Vil montaje de la derecha asegurar que a la campaña del pacto histórico para volver a Petro y Francia la cabeza del ejecutivo tuviera dineros mal-habidos. Da mucha rabia porque en esa campaña lo que hubo fue hambre y desgaste del pueblo, asqueado de las balas de la rancia oligarquía. Ahora a trabajar gratis, bajo el sol, bajo insultos, le llaman "financiamiento ilegal"... a recibir dinero de narcotraficantes o tener laboratorios de coca en el patio le llaman "campaña existosa".

Not My King: it’s not a crime to say it

Not My King: it’s not a crime to say it The Tory's Fascist Kingdom has arrived Protest organisers at King Charles’ coronation have been arrested, and placards confiscated. The protest was all legal and agreed with the police, but organisers were arrested on their arrival. It is the latest in a series of state over-reaches trying to stop awkward questions about the UK’s new, unelected head of state. Scotland Yard later said “several” arrests had been made for breach of the peace and conspiracy to cause public disorder. https://r.ippl.es/abolish-the-monarchy/ #ToryFascistDictatorship #fascism #DemocracyNotAutocracy #protest #coronation #Republic #PoliceState #FreeSpeech #freedom #DemocracyLost #UnitedKingdom #England #ToryScum #dystopia #DystopianBritain #dystopian #1984 #Orwell #OrwellWasRight
