Your words, and others of similar mindset makes me remember the people in Fahrenheit 451. Not the normal people, but the ones memorising books for posterity, only you and others are memorising the time of science and freedom.

Because the goal of what you describe is obedience. The generations whoa are adults when oppression begins must be forcefully subjugated, but the generations growing up under oppression will view as normal, and their children will in turn not think about it all, indeed to them it will feel right.

What you and others are doing are what any authoritarian, totalitatrian, oppressor or whatever label we use abolutely posiively hates with every fiber of their being:

You show that things can be done in a dfferent way than what the oppressor says is the only right way.

On doesn't have to preach or challenge the oppressor to be labeled an enemy: just saying "Thanks, but I abstain from your way of life" is a crime in their eyes. It is /the/ crime, even.

Like a tormented man or woman leaving their domestic oppressor, like child leaving abusive parents, like a prole saying eff off to the bosses or like a well off person saying sod this to the creed of greed. To the one who melds his identiy to the system as it having intrinsical value instead of performatory value, that is the original sin.

They need you to love Big Brother by your own choice. They can use force on you every day of the week and hurt you until you obey, but only you can choose to love Big Brother.

Apologies for preaching, but your posts are inspiring. God Jul! (that's "good yule" in english, though idiomatically it's "merry christmas".)

This is an EXCELLENT initiative! Well done! After reading that absorbing account by Dr Malone's wife about the long-term abuse he has suffered - not just at the hands of the current censors, but also at the hands of rapacious academics who capitalised off his research - it is high time these heroes' full stories were revealed, un-maligned and undistorted, to the world.
