Eastasia allies with Eurasia to fight Oceania. But does it help the people of Oceania that they have the help of Eurasia in their fight against Eastasia? No. Their Eastasian allies aren't much different from the Eurasians they're fighting.<br /><br />As far as the Borg are concerned, they had Unimatrix Zero. An analogous network exists for us, at the moment. Why would this network be left up? Because, as the Architect from the Matrix explained, there has to be an escape valve to keep the system functioning.<br /><br />I'm not worried that we'll ever see 1984 come true. The powers behind the powers wouldn't allow it. If people are incapable of conceiving of anything different to the system, then they cannot damn themselves. They must have the option of salvation in order to reject it.Cerereanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935694167944319731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-13321935634636481862019-12-01T15:17:01.887+00:002019-12-01T15:17:01.887+00:00@Ranger - "Would you say that this is a world...@Ranger - "Would you say that this is a world-wide phenomena or is it still mostly limited to "the West"?" <br /><br />I don't know - but I don't think it makes much difference to the plan, either way.<br /><br /> Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-50118111992934158252019-12-01T13:44:13.589+00:002019-12-01T13:44:13.589+00:00Would you say that this is a world-wide phenomena ...Would you say that this is a world-wide phenomena or is it still mostly limited to "the West"?<br /> It seems non-Western countries are offering some resistance to this particular instantiation of "the system" (whether by having a "system" of their own or by not accepting any such system). It's why I'm not so sure that the End Times are near, it seems to me there is a long time yet before this local resistance to the system can be assimilated.Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201994446688581703noreply@blogger.com
