Besides why have telescreens, when children ratting out their parents are the most effective soln.? That’s what scares me the most of the next twenty years.

- fidndifj 8y agoKids speak the truth. Sometimes the truth they say can get ppl in trouble.
- Loughla 8y agoThat still doesn't make sense. Why is that the thing that scares you the most in the next 20 years?
- quantum_magpie 8y agoBecause such tactics were already successfully used in the past -- WW2 Germany, and post-WW2 Soviet Union. And they were quite effective, too. Seeing as the world is moving into another dystopian era, the same mechanisms can be employed again, this time enhanced by the electronic surveilance too. Even just a single fraction of it -- a mandatory (at least where I live) cellphone, with permanent location tracking by the service providers is scary enough right now.
