"OWELL ROLLS IN HIS GRAVE'

....“They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening” Although the public increasingly has no voice in the making of Law or Policy, it has little interest in having this......being preoccupied with the pretentious glamor of self-recognition, personal inclusiveness in mass delusions, and self-conscious adherence to the popular Will..... directed ambitions and religious conformity to the customs of the moment.......A nation of callow folks, taking meaningless selfies in their bathroom mirrors, as though their images meant anything other than their reflections in a moving stream.
