  • This is why the freedom of Julian Assange isn't a win: he was forced to admit to a crime instead of being freed for freedom of the press.

    We got people so weak and pathetic nowadays they'll happily throw away their freedoms because they're scared of them.

    Orwell's 1984 wasn't supposed to be a instruction manual but a warning.

    YouTube will remove this video because it doesn’t believe it’s true.
  • @betterchapter
    He who would acquire fame must not show himself afraid of censure. The dread of censure is the death of genius
  • @Madosatoshist
    Canada is already of the point of making it illegal to question politicians down to mayors and city councils. They passed a law fining anyone "emotionally harming" politicians in office. For safety of course.

    Many people take authority as their truth. Better to take truth as your authority. I heard that recently.
  • “Public opinion! I don’t know how sociologists define it, but it seems obvious to me that it can only consist of interacting individual opinions, freely expressed and independent of government or party opinion.” -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Brilliant!

    The Gulag Archipelago seems more and more pertinent, every day. It’s honestly crazy how insightful it was/is.
  • @timmoman
    I tried posting Orwell’s quote to Facebook story, but it got censored until I draw over Orwell’s name - the irony is strong
