He set to work to exercise himself in crimestop. He presented himself with propositions—'the
Party says the earth is flat', 'the party says that ice is heavier than water'—and trained
himself in not seeing or not understanding the arguments that contradicted them.

It's been something inbetween 1984 and A Brave New World for quite some time. It's the natural
order of things. We, as individuals, have no power over it, and since the masses are ignorant or
outright hostile towards a "truth", there is no way to change its course.
But, as the sum of all individuals shrinks, the individual gains more power. All out war is the
only short-span solution. Eradication is the long one.

You can't educate someone who refuses to be educated. Well, you can, but it takes a high amount
of resources and several months of time to reeducate one person, just like CIA did multiple
times. Instead of wasting money and time, you can simply remove the problem completely with
lethal violence. And believe me, you're not going to re-educate millions of citizens who are too
preoccupied with daily life to even notice.
A revolution might work, but there need to be a large gathering of outspoken, ambitious men with
facts to even start one. The US situation is analogous to the communist one in the cold war,
except much slower and subtler, so subtle that most citizens don't notice, and so slow that
throughout the generations, tyranny and dictatorship will become the norm, and no one will even
think of fighting against.

the media is the main issue i think. if kids weren't being subjected to nikki minaj and miley
cirus they might have a chance at being intelligent. there has to be some way to improve the
average joe. right now they are completely worthless. i think they've been manipulated by the
media. before were they only informed because the info was drilled into them by thier tv sets?

That's the A Brave New World. The masses do not willfully ignore this kind of stuff; they simply
have more fun things to do than worry and stress over seemingly worse worries. They are
distracted by the media, be it television, radio, simple play or, especially, the internet. We're
partaking in distraction right at this moment. It would be only a matter of time before those who
ignored such distractions would rule over us all. It's a form of modern survival of the fittest.

You know, John Titor was right. There was a civil war in America. But we know by now that John
Titor came from a reality where, somehow, the digital revolution was much slower. The home
computer didn't enter the market as fast, and the internet was at the level of the 1990s BBS.
There was a major civil war in the USA by 2015 in his reality, not because the USA did something
wildly different than here, but because the citizenship was more receptive to the USA's clear
totalitarian change. Their perception wasn't numbed by today's media.

so the only way to motivate the masses is to brainwash them? they are cattle? why can't everyone
be intelligent and understand when they are being manipulated? i ignore these distractions but i
could never rise to rule. i know that it's wrong and i want to fix it. the only way i could rise
to the top would be if i were evil.

But you are singular. You're just one person. Not everyone is intelligent or even aware of any of
this, and since the intelligent are few and far between, even if they are in a position of power,
they can't do much. Only a majority can do good in this situation, and the majority is the
uneducated and/or uncaring. It takes some real big nudging to make the majority care enough to
try and change the situation. In the days before the French Revolution, people were high-strung
because of the aristocrat's oppression and high tax rates, and they snapped when the situation
got too unfavorable. Those tax rates and low health level were a direct threat to their lives,
and a good motivator for a revolution. In the current USA, the motivators are all subtle and
undirect. The normal man won't notice the iris scanning, the pollution, the armed forces, until
it is too late. That is an innate human trait. We are much more responsive to current, obvious
threats than long time, subtle ones.

In the french revolution the people were also starving, because of a massive famine that took
over France. This coupled with a really stupid King made the people revolt. The People originally
only wanted the king to give up the majority of his powers and let a parliament rule, like in
Britian with the Magna Carta. For the record. But I agree with the fact that the pop. is really
stupid. Successful revolutions, the ones that end with the democratic government, only work if
the oppressive government slips up and the pop. gets angry and revolts followed by strong
charismatic leaders.
