i would call tjis administration many things, fascistic, shitty, corrupt, but it's not particularly orwellian.

  The whole fight with Anthropic was because they wanted to use it for mass surveillance (and autonomous weapon systems). How is mass surveillance not orwellian.

    I wrote: it's not particularly orwellian. like all the other us administrations have had mass surveillance boners too. and the us is not nearly as surveillancey as other fascistic regimes, or even contemporary social democracies. finally, orwellian means a lot more too, especially "controlling how people think by controlling their language". again, the trump administration doesn't do that much of those things. this administration has a lot of problems, but its pretty straightforward.

  It is incredibly Orwellian in that is lies constantly, loudly, and badly.
