It’s odd to think that all this time we’ve been fighting different forms of top down control wearing different masks - the most recent one being climate ‘the science’ and ‘social justice’. They just change the names to suit the zeitgeist but keep pushing the same agendas all the way through. So much of it has its origins in the worst aspects of Communism, mindlessly deferring to authority as in the Milgram experiments, snitching on neighbours, family and friends, central planning, ‘just following orders’, ‘for the greater good’, and so-called ‘equality of outcomes’ and ‘learned helplessness’. I just hope they don’t use AI as the new mask to bring in UBI, that’s up next I think. Perhaps it was studying sociology at A-Level and Philosophy at degree level (and the philosophy of politics in particular) that allows me to see it, where my husband does not. It’s hard to know for sure.
