English book, not many cars in UK in 1949, plus Orwell wrote to warn about freedom of movement, speech and just about everything else being in jeopardy.
In some ways the last 60 years of freedom of motorized personal travel in the western world have been a brief anomaly. The aggressive elites actions to control everyone and everything by electrification only plus digital centralized controls is greatly helped by people experiencing climate change anxiety urging every faster restriction, ironically highly Orwellian.

- eyelidlessness 4y agoWell, this comment escalated quickly. To that point: - Who are the elites you’re discussing? Characterize them however you prefer, but please do characterize them so we understand what you mean. - In what ways does fueling personal automobiles with electricity and batteries impact freedom of movement versus other fuels? - How is this aggressive given efforts to mainstream electric vehicles have gone on for a majority of the decades you call an anomaly? - Sincerely, when you say “digital centralized controls”, I don’t understand whether you mean the trend of replacing physical buttons with touchscreens, or some implied more nefarious plot. Can you clarify that? - You acknowledge people are experiencing climate change right? I’m sure I’m not misinterpreting this, but giving you an opportunity to clarify that as well in case I’ve misunderstood. - Given climate change, assuming I got you right, how would you prefer they react versus the problems you’ve identified?
