Mate, you never ever disappoint.
My father gave me both books to read as a child and having read and re-read them many times throughout my early life, since then I have observed the world descend into the dystopic insanity like watching a black comedy.
Ironically 'black comedy' will no doubt soon be if not already be labelled offensive!
The cultural Marxism that is political correctness has enveloped our world like a malignant tumour slowly killing the hosts ability to function without assistance. Assistance from the thought police which isn't an institution in the traditional sense because it is society itself. Policing each other on behalf of the hidden hand.
I may have told you this before but recently I was at a freinds house for a weekend, on the Saturday we decided to walk the kids through the fields behind their house to a local pub. As we were walking I pointed out a large pure black cow amongst a herd of Fresians, my freinds 8 year old son became physically upset and started accusing me of being racist. I tried to explain that you can't be racist to a cow and that saying it was black when it is black is ok. It took over 1\2 an hour to calm him down and he's not a highly strung or emotional kid normally. He didn't speak to me the rest of the weekend even after his parents explained to him that I'd done nothing wrong. He told them it's what he'd been taught in school!
It wasn't so much the accusation of racism that disturbed me it was the triggered overreaction.
Is this an example of the kind of insanity we are to expect in the future?
I bloody well hope not but fear if things don't change soon it'll be his generation teaching the next, that's scary!
Great post dude.
Mate! Thank you for all your support my friend and equally for this epic comment!! I agree completely, society is turning into black comedy and equally a slow motion car crash. I have read both books several times but deliberately left a gap of about ten years between the last read, in order draw parrallels with how much society has changed during that time. To be honest this time round they read like an instruction manual and as such made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Even with all the research that I do I realised that there was still a tiny part of me that had become conditioned to accept it as the new norm! Not a norm I embrace by any stretch of the imagination and one I speak out about on a daily basis. But still it's become a part of all our lives.
It's creep is so insidious, but equally looking back over the last ten years also amazingly fast! As much as I hate to admit, it's propagandic balancing act of genius. The fact that the vast majority are unable to see it is testament to that fact. Indeed the public have been so conditioned to look right that they are unable to see what is coming from the left. Well you know, when you're cossing the road it's best to look both ways otherwise you stand a pretty good chance of being run over!!
You haven't told me this story before and it's just a shocking testament to how far we have fallen and equally how they're coming for the minds of the children. This is a play book that has been played many times before, alas people have forgotten how it's played! It's scary when you pause for a moment, remove yourself and look objectively at the bigger picture. Everytime there isn't a kick back they push it that little bit further and see what people will take, what they will believe. Well the time is nigh and if we neglect to speak out now then one day we will not have a voice. Thanks again for such a brilliant and insightful comment my friend @tremendospercy
That is a terrifying story. Not in the sense of being terrified of war, but in the sense of the chaos and insanity that is being bred in the current generation for who knows what purpose?
It's especially concerning given what you've said about the child normally being normally strung and normally emotional for his age. It's the same kind of sickening feeling you get when you see someone mistreating an animal - this brainwash that's occurring to the young kids of the generation.
What would you say are ways to promote real values such as honesty, helping your neighbor, kindness, etc?
Frightening.
I'm a teacher, and sometimes I have to depart from the script, though only when I perceive a few students who are still awake and aware. I tell them why school makes interesting topics boring, why they have to study on their own and go deeply into whatever fascinates them, that at some point they will have to choose between conformity and freedom. They listen. Suddenly, they are not students anymore.
