The thing I’ll never get over is conservatives complaining they can’t say what they think anymore. Is there anything more inescapable in modern life than the ceaseless monotonous drumbeat of conservatives all telling all the rest of us everything they all think?

“We are not content with negative obedience, nor even with the most abject submission. When finally you surrender to us, it must be of your own free will. we do not destroy the heretic because he resist us: so long as he resist us we never destroy him. We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him. We burn all evil and all illusion out of him; we bring him over to our side, not in appearance, but genuinely, heart and soul.”
-George Orwell, 1984

@JuliusGoat Which was top of mind because I just listened to the most recent episode of Science Fiction University, which is about The Prisoner, where they talked about this section of 1984, and then went on to mention (among other progeny) LOST, because time is a flat circle.
