"Would we be, as Orwell wrote, dominated by a repressive surveillance and security state that used crude and violent forms of control? Or would we be, as Huxley envisioned, entranced by entertainment and spectacle, captivated by technology and seduced by profligate consumption to embrace our own oppression? It turns out Orwell and Huxley were both right. Huxley saw the first stage of our enslavement. Orwell saw the second."
The secret sauce to breed dopes in America, wholesale, has been "by entertainment and spectacle!" Tamasha!! Political commentators Limbaugh and Stewart are entertainers. So are Bill Maher and Dennis Miller. The list is long.
The "virtue" most prized in a man, or a woman, in America is entertainment! Truth is very boring. One thing about a born-and-bred American dope is that he, or she, is a thoroughly entertained dope. He, or she, needs entertainment as a part of the fix. The dope then can vote for whoever is more entertaining, or less boring! For example, Reagan was entertaining and Obama was less boring than McCain.
