I always thought it was going to be Brave New World, but nah, it's predictable ol' 1984. How lame.

It's both. The fascistic control of 1984 combined with the drug-addled sleepwalking through life of Brave New World

    Basically, Orwell believed the future would be an ordinary fascist dystopia, without freedom or prosperity, with every thought and action controlled by the government. A society of absolute domination (imagine if the USSR and China had a baby). Huxley (Brave New World) believed the dystopian future would consist of people being controlled via pleasure, apathy, drugs etc. I.E late stage Roman Empire, but more sci fi.

    be silent with your own name, but speak out anonymously

    No, be very afraid, this will keep your guard up. These are no games, your jobs and incomes are on the line.

    This is an all out ideological war turning into a civil and then a world war three. They are coming for us all!

    History repeats itself all the time, do YOU think you're immune...You've watched your armies break apart so many innocent Muslim countries and lives of their people at behest of the international jewery and other globalists. Now it's YOUR turn to suffer!

    Or we could not do that and continue to enjoy our run of unprecedented security and prosperity :p

    Unprecedented insecurity and total decline of living standards and wages, you mean?! A hunting season open on white people, you mean...

    It's open season on me? Wow, y'all suck at hunting. But you're welcome to come and try whenever you like. Your picture of western decline is more a wet fantasy than a reality you know. The middle class has been getting wealthier and wealthier. There's more wealth than there ever has been. Of course all you hear about is the people who missed the boat.

    Sure NPC. in 50 years, before Covid-1984, middle class in US noted an income increase of 50% while the inflation is at 2% yearly rate...Can you do the maths NPC?

    Not even mentioning that work hours have never been longer for most people since the 70's and a lot of men and females alike have to get two jobs to even qualify into the middle class bracket....which leaves the kids neglected, sans family values instilled.

    As far as sEcUrItY goes. I guess you don't read or watch independent news, or go out much for that matter.

    Keep rubbing out that stiffie. It's not good to walk around with blue balls. And if you're waiting for the actual collapse of western society, you're going to have those blue balls for a long, long time.
