    Just saw this here Hux quote cross my timeline with the implication that it was relevant to our times, and, uh, not so much. If that's the perfect dictatorship, let's have some more of that and less of... Whatever this ispic.twitter.com/Xe4NNXXFQc

        could it be, perhaps, that the dictatorship being described is not a political one, but the dictatorship of capitalism?

        Yes I'm sure that is the case and yet it is pretty irrelevant to talk about when we have a political dictatorship to worry about I'm not a t*nkie so if that's your angle, please just leave me alone

        This strikes me as being kind of judgmental? Like, the people in this "dictatorship" seem like they are just fine with whatever it is they have and it is entirely Huxley's problem that he's not OK with it.

        I can see what he's saying I think. It doesn't strike me as being very different, if at all, from those who are prisoners of religious indoctrination. If all they are ever allowed to know is extremely limited they'll never know that better things are possible.

        Yeah, Huxley's philosophy in this area is straight up reactionary and all about how the Manly Romantic Hero stands against Degenerate Modernity and anyone quoting this is kinda telling on themselves.

        Wasn't Huxley fairly socially conservative as a general rule?

        Can't we just have the Brave New World one with shitloads of drugs and orgies? As dystopia goes, at least it seems fun

        So then, next up on your reading list would be Neil Postmans "Amusing Ourselves to Death" ?

        One could make the argument that vulgar pleasures are used to cover up oppression in society, whereas Huxley would have said vulgar pleasures *are* the oppression, which 😐😐😐

        Yeah - I mean, Huxley is a wildcard, but I think the book is a lot less convinced of that than he is.
