1984

Guys; I feel like basically 1984 is modern day China with a few constrewed details.

Amirite, or amirite?

China is being used as propaganda to demonstrate what you should be thankful to not have, not to be thankful for what you have.

This creates an easy tool of cognitive dissonance for us all to employ when our basic constitutional rights erode. When that happens we will say "at least we have free speech." Yes, at least we can say we want no cheese and a size 13, unlike in China.
