    A bit of all of them. Fahrenheit 451- because censorship is being demanded by people, and only provided by government after the public demands it. Check out Philip K Dick's Electric Dreams, episode titled "Kill All Others". It's exactly what's happening right now. The media is pumping out Rorschach tests: they just start claiming people and things are racists, and if you're one of the critical thinkers who questions why? You're now an "other" yourself. Only an "other" would question this obvious course of action. Others are very dangerous terrorists. You see a woman running from a mob in the streets? You try to help her? Why are you trying to help an other? Just wait till the police get here!

    @@Tony-Blake no, I'm talking about what happens when government decides what is true, and bans "misinformation". Cigarettes used to be prescribed by doctors. The surgeon general used to recommend smoking to maintain your health... You're not an anti-science conspiracy theorist are you? You're not trying to hurt people's health by telling them cigarettes cause cancer are you? The science, and scientists agree that smoking improves your health, so why are you spreading misinformation that will stop people from smoking? Did you know lobotomy was a cutting edge scientific advancement in the treatment of ADHD? If your child can't sit and pay attention in school, he should really get a lobotomy. Why would you deny science and refuse to help your own child? You're basically abusing your own child by refusing to give him the medically acceptable, scientifically proven treatment for his condition. Did you see Obama officially apologized in behalf of the US government for when it was infecting orphans with radioactive isotopes to study radiation poisoning on children? Are you a conspiracy theorist for saying it happened before govt admitted to it? Or am I a conspiracy theorist now for pointing out Obama apologized for it? We would ban people for claiming it was happening, before Obama apologized for it. Then we get to ban people who still think it was a conspiracy theory, for claiming the government DIDNT do it when Obama is on video admitting it did happen. Then with the advent of AI deepfake videos, we can just put everyone in prison since nobody will know the truth and you can just call everyone a liar Should we have banned "conspiracy theorists" who claimed the Flynt water crisis isn't over? Government officially said the water is fixed and drinkable again. Even that bright purple water.

    @@Tony-Blake global cooling is real. (At least it was in the 90s when every newspaper and scientist said it was). Scientists published lots of studies proving the earth is headed for another ice age, perhaps within our lifetime. Should we ban everyone who rejects this notion? Should we prohibit funding of science that seeks to prove "global warming" conspiracy? What about now, 20 years later? Do we now ban everyone who was promoting global cooling, and unban yesterday's conspiracy theorists who are now declared correct by government? What about the people who said there's no WMDs in Iraq? Every intelligence agency said we needed to bomb Iraq, because they know for a fact Saddam is on the edge of developing nukes and chemical and biological weapons of every kind. Anyone who suggests that Saddam probably doesn't have WMDs and this is just a ploy to start another foreign war? CONSPIRACY THEORIIIIST! BAAAAN HIIIIM!

    It physically hurts me realizing that people who think 1984 is a cautionary tale are the same people who think they should rewrite history and add minorities and LGBT representation in historical adaptations while also cancelling people who don't agree with their world view.

    There are degrees of totalitarian control. Venezuela is a totalitarian nation but due to its very inneficient security service the actual level of control is limited. Then you have North Korea. Plus is it possible that the 'system' is posting comments that create the impression of freedom of thought in order to fool the common man?'Well if 1984 was real there wouldn't be so many comments about it.' When in fact only 1% of comments are by real people. Not saying its the case here but it can be in others. The security services can very easily manipulate social media to create an impression.
