re: #807 MandyManners

They would rather monitor free people than those who want to kill the free people.

It’s insane, IMHO. However, remember that it is what we now call the liberals who brought us totalitarianism. When Orwell was writing 1984, he wasn’t referring to those who want to monitor their enemies, he was directly referring to those who want to monitor us, and those who want to monitor us would be the left. The left has time and time again sought to control human behavior to create an Eden on Earth.
