What if most of the supposed threats are a bluff? There won’t really be CBDCs, you will not be forced to eat the bugs, they will not jail you for dissent, etc.

They just want you to think all those things so you don’t participate in shaping the discourse and the zeitgeist.

It’s psychological warfare, and whether you’re terrified of a virus or the police state, in the end it doesn’t really matter to them.

The important point is that you’re afraid and you believe “they” are powerful while you are powerless.

What if Orwell’s prophecy wasn’t about the real world, but the state of the individual mind when exposed to a sufficient amount of techno-manipulation?

Orwell was looking backwards at the world war he just came through and how politics and society responded to literal existential threat. History is cyclical so it comes back around, but he was not prophetic lol

I mean it was set in 1984, so it was a prophecy of sorts.

Projecting the past into the future is not prophecy. It’s projection.
