Trends seem to suggest that ‘progressives’ would like to lead us in retrogressing towards a society where the state is supreme – a combination of Orwell’s ‘1984‘ and Huxley’s ‘Brave New World‘.
Huxley at least provided a place for free thinking people to find refuge. But given the tone and tenor of the Left, I don’t believe such a option is in their plan. They seem much more like modern day Jacobins, whose claim to fame is the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. At any rate, the war against individual liberty is on (and has been for some time).
The frog in a pot of heating water anecdote is very well known, but how many people who acknowledge it actually stop to consider that they them self just might be that storied frog?
Too few, I’m afraid.
