Sadly, in our Reality, Liberals took the 1984/Atlas Shrugged playbook 2 steps further. They not only played on the greed of Man and the sympathies of Man. They also intentionally tinkered with their ability to think critically about big issues. Liberals in circa 1963 began to take over the curriculae of public schools. They systematically removed math, chemistry, physics, geography, economics, history, civics, and The Founding (every subject which taught critical thinking). They replaced these academics with the ideology of Liberalism. This has a two-fold effect. It took over 40 years to get this new curriculae into every state in the nation. It is now ubiquitous. Some states even think it was 'their idea'. In any case, now we have thousands of high school graduates cranked out of high schools all across America every year who have had a full 12 years of Liberalism indoctrination and had no brain-training in critical thinking. These are truly mindless automatons who will do (and believe) almost anything they are told. Because they have no background or reference material to compare it to. So when that chance came along to vote for Hope and Change (aka pure socialism), then jumped on it, because it was the compassionate thing to do, the anti-racist thing to do, the Best for the Planet thing to do. No critical thinking skills. No chance to see that the Hope and Change incentive system could only lead to disaster. Fatherlessness, Crime, Arson, Mass Theft, and Mass Formation Psychosis. And on top removing critical thinking skills, the Democrats did one better. They gave the Public the ideology of Liberalism. The ideology of Liberalism has many tenets. But for sure the first tenet is "There are no moral standards." And by that, every thing you want is moral. And everything you do, is just and good. And if you are too hazy to do anything on your own, the nightly news is there to tell you what you want and what is good. And so, a small handful of Liberals in 1963 made the 1992 turningpoint, the Singularity of our time, not only possible, but made it a near certainty. Who was going to object? 100% of high school graduate know nothing else other than Liberalism. And by November 2008 those fresh Liberal high school graduates (aka voters) outnumber the old patriots 51% to 30%. //
Astute observations. It's Gramsci's "long march through the institutions." You'll notice today that almost all American institutions are run by, or majority in the hands of, leftists. It was the intent, as you pointed out, and it's coming to fruition.
I would say that they've gone beyond just 1984 and Atlas Shrugged, and included in their playbook other classics like Farenheit 451, Brave New World, Harrison Bergeron, and more.
Harvard says that 2+2=5 (when you squint hard enough), that is probably the modern equivalent of Harrison Bergeron's buzzer ringing in the ears. Rational-minded people turn their attention toward the idiots at Harvard. That's the ringing in the ears. The long-sighted person should have turned their attention toward the administration at Harvard who would ever hire such a moron. They sure play a great game of distraction. Meanwhile I am sure all of those people who worked at Harvard in 2020 still work at Harvard now. Just imagine paying delusional people $75,000 per year to "educate" you. Been to the Harvard homepage recently? They have converted their homepage into an article for Climate Change awareness. Want links to their departments, programs, tuition & fees, or campus info? Sorry, that's all gone. But 4 articles of Climate Change should fill that void for you.
