It was always Huxley's dystopia we should fear more than Orwell's
100%
I'd argue we're already living in Huxley's dystopia... but it's even worse because in Huxley, the social control via entertainments was planned with a purpose, including reproductive purpose.
Buy in our dystopia, the social control via entertainments is a mostly decentralized phenomenon driven by economic interests and the frailty of the human mind
what's worse? The unplanned or the planned one?
it's like what @k00b said in SNL: "I'd prefer the lifestyle of the fascists"
both are bad but i think living in a planned dystopia might be a better life than living in an unplanned dystopia?

I've thought about this before (but maybe I'm just remembering sometime you talked about this in the past). I need to reread Brave New World because I really don't remember much from when I read it way back.
If the snu snu attack is a masterstroke on the state's behalf, what is our best defense? Protesting against Trump not buying bitcoin for his National Bitcoin Reserve doesn't seem to be achieving the self-sovereignty I was hoping for.

HAHAAA, shocking, right! My politician didn't do what I voted for him to do!
even worse: what they voted for him to do wasn't any good in the first place
Masterstroke. Death by snu snu and yaaaawns... It was always Huxley's dystopia we should fear more than Orwell's.
