Comments by "Debany Doombringer" (@debanydoombringer1385) on "1984 vs Brave New World - How Freedom Dies" video.
I’m going to say something a little different than this video. Yes way too many were fine with the loss of their freedom. However it was only tolerated briefly. Sure you had 4 very populated states continue it for a prolonged period but that’s a small number out of the total 50 , and those states have paid a hefty price as people are still fleeing them. That tells me it’s not as bleak as it was intended to be. That tech and entertainment were preparing for it to be how we would live forever after that and we know how tied those industries are to government, tells me it didn’t go as planned at all. They expanded rapidly into providing everything at home because they expected it to last for several years and that people would be so accustomed to being home, they’d remain there once restrictions were relaxed. It didn’t last as long as they’d been lead to believe in most areas and as soon as restrictions began to lift the opposite happened. People fled their homes. They walked away from their TVs and went to state parks, traveled, started gardening. Anything to see and interact with nature and the outside again. Most of the population now understands the ramifications of doing that and that it was never necessary or based on science. They’ll have an almost impossible time if they attempted anything similar in the next 40 years.
