One of my longest-standing arguments is that we are not living in Orwell’s 1984, where truth is centrally suppressed and censored by force (that’s former communist societies, modern-day China, Russia, North Korea). We are living in something much closer to Huxley’s Brave New World. The truth is not hidden - it is almost always readily available. But it is buried beneath an industrial quantity of noise: propaganda, outrage, half-truths, conspiracy theories, influencer theatre, algorithmic rage bait and an endless stream of content designed not to inform us, but to keep us emotionally stimulated. The modern information system does not need to censor the truth when it can simply drown it in noise. A fact no longer has to be disproven - it only has to be surrounded by a hundred competing claims, stripped of context and nuance, turned into partisan ammunition and pushed into the same feed as celebrity gossip, memes and 15 second videos engineered to deliver the fastest possible dopamine hit. By the time the truth reaches us, it appears as just another piece of content competing for our attention. That is the more sophisticated form of control: not preventing people from knowing, but exhausting their capacity to care. Orwell feared a world in which people would be deprived of information. Huxley feared a world in which they would be given so much distraction, stimulation and triviality that they would lose the desire to seek it. The defining struggle of our age is therefore not simply between truth and censorship, but between truth and indifference.
@johnrich So we created a special boy job to fight against the government that created it?
@defense_civil25 I’d give actual money to see him try to load and fire it without help.
@MikeBales I miss when conservatives had a thought in their heads other than “troll the libs & worship dear leader.”
@NancyMace The similarities do bear comparison.
@McFaul Because he’s done exactly what he set out to do, desensitize and overwhelm us with an ecosphere generating a constant stream of division, misinformation and manufactured outrage.
@WhiteHouse This “daddy” business is really weird.
@nicksortor He’s disinterested in anything that’s not all about him. He’s SO needy.
@RepPfluger @WNBA This is such performative nonsense.
@SportsPatriotUS You might fare a bit better if 80% of your posts weren’t odes to queen caitlin
@SportsPatriotUS News flash! Hotshot player of a team sport expected to work within a team system rather pretending the other players are only there to facilitate said hotshot’s game. Shocking!
@SportsPatriotUS The leadership didn’t allow it to grow into anything. The online rantings of CC fans did. Because those fans drill down on the racial angle, it became a performative opportunity for some members of Congress.
@RapidResponse47 @POTUS It’s sad that he doesn’t even know how utterly moronic he sounds, in Europe, comparing European midline politics with “communism.”
@iAnonPatriot Soros was one of 18 ultra-wealthy Americans who signed an open letter to 2020 presidential candidates advocating for a "moderate wealth tax" on the top 0.1% of fortunes. The letter stated, "America has a moral, ethical and economic responsibility to tax our wealth more"
@HQNewsNow He also said he could easily wrap up in Iran, stop the conflict in Ukraine, replace healthcare with something much better, end inflation, blah, blah, blah
@Bridge99916 @RapidResponse47 That would disqualify Dear Leader™ as one of his parents and all his grandparents were not born here.
