Aldous Huxley, who authored “Brave New World” in 1931, said this in a 1961 speech:
There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution. (Aldous Huxley, Tavistock Group, California Medical School, 1961)
Huxley referred to the tyrants of the future as “social engineers” and he warned that advanced technology would be used for social conditioning and controlling human behavior. He also warned us about the kind of people who would eagerly adopt the mentality of ‘Give me television and hamburgers, but don’t bother me with the responsibilities of liberty.’
*That* precisely describes what we are witnessing today, especially under the pretense of so-called “unselfish, responsible, adult-in-the-room” Democrats. Nothing is less “adult in the room” than these spineless people who willingly turn themselves over to their Overlords and completely trash 250 years of liberty in the process.
