Yeah! How dare they, referencing literature.
- pjmlp 3y agoThat wasn't the point, no need for literature references when you can enjoy that kind of life today when living in less fortunate regions.
- absrec 3y agoDraconian IT laws mean that in many countries you could be persecuted for threatening national security as a blanket rule with indefinitely the long harassment called investigation.
- pjmlp 3y agoThey are already in place in such countries, plenty of people suffer through them daily.
- K0balt 3y agoOr, just dealing with FAANG
- steve1977 3y agoYour sarcasm has been noted and recorded.
- mysterydip 3y agoEverything you do has been noted and recorded. We'll determine later if it's something we don't like in the future.
- doubled112 3y agoThis concept scares me more than most.
- vertis 3y agoThe fact that is scares you has been noted. Someone will contact you shortly.
- brookst 3y agoThe fact you noted that has been noted.
- doubled112 3y agoIt's not that somebody might contact me shortly. It is that somebody might contact me in 10 years, and at that point I'll have no idea about the context or how to "defend myself" because I won't know what they're talking about. Maybe it's far fetched, I don't know, but it's a possibility. An interesting thought exercise if nothing else.
- krapp 3y agoReferencing 1984, Brave New World and that quote about freedom of speech that Voltaire never actually said make up the holy trinity of pseudo-intellectual posturing on the internet.
- account-5 3y agoYeah it was Voltaire's biographer who was describing what she thought was Voltaire's thinking at the time. Still a good quote though regardless of source.
- brookst 3y ago“1984 was dystopian, and anything I don’t like is dystopian, therefore anything I don’t like is straight out of 1984”
