ya like our reality is far more dystopian than 1984 or that book about the corporations owning everything or fahrenheit 451. at least in those books there was some sort of hope due to a strong resistance.

You might need a reread of those.

Or just watch V for Vendetta maybe if you want hope.

Yeah. The lesson from any author familiar with totalitarianism is that you don’t win. It’s the boot on the face, for ever.

It’s then a question of whether and how you can retain your humanity.

This has been known by authors of colour and women for 200 years, of course.

good guys winning is for

• children’s stories
• sweet naive summer children from that late 20th century blip in the human existence
• people who are actually the bad guys
• all of the above

Cross posting here.

Realising that we can’t do anything and the powerful are going to win…

This is only a new concept to a tiny group of people in a tiny slice of time.

For the bulk of history, and for most of humanity even today, this is the default position. Consider this a return to normal.
