Then why don’t they talk about it constantly like we do? Once you see it, you want to shout it from the rooftops because it becomes painfully obvious.

Because they have an audience, you don’t.

Some people here would speak in a very different tone if they received recurrent zaps from Pfizer, political parties and the government.

True. Selling outrage over what Orwell called “petty specific grievances” makes for a larger audience.

Interesting part of this quote though, is they missed something.

The central gov’t is attempting to destroy patriotism currently.

I’m not really an Orwell scholar, but I think what he meant by “primitive patriotism” is “loyalty to the Regime”. Instead of what we might traditionally label patriotism as a “common loyalty”, not to a government, land, or people, but to founding, Natural Law values.

Central government is certainly attempting to destroy the latter.
