Huxley perfectly described western capitalist system

The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitude. Aldous Huxley

@yogthos and that's why I prefer Brave New World to 1984

@yogthos and just like that… just in time supply chains collapsing and “essential” and “non-essential” divide reminds society where the true power lies…

It’s hard to have a fat and happy population with eggs $9/dozen (yeah, blows me away too) and basic needs / entertainment unaffordable for practically everyone.

The house of cards is crumbling under its own weight.

The fight to take back control of our society is only just beginning.

Reject the bullshit. #powertothepeople

@yogthos While Huxley probably would have agreed with it, it seems to be a manufactured quote.
