Edit: Sigh… I got the dystopia wrong. Apparently everyone is apathetic in 1984 of their own free will and just drink, smoke and do morphine.

Brave New World is apathy through euphoria through soma.
Which yeah, drugged euphoria is not happiness.

    1984 forced all of that.

    Brave New World, people LOVE it and can’t imagine any other way to live.

    Brave New World is the nightmare dystopia we CHOOSE, not the one that gets forced on us.

      Oh for sure people view the idea of being reduced to an object of the state apparently shockingly happily enough.

      But we have a department of war that our dear leader of just got a peace medal and awards. Like the doublespeak is here. And we dont spit people out of bottles already premade for their role.
      Department of education is run by an entertainer who also cuts budget for schools.

      Its definitely a mix of them.
      I think the world is 1984, but the vibes are desperate for the fake utopia of Brave New World.
