"Orwell warns that we
will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley's vision,
no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and
history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the
technologies that undo their capacities to think.
What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley
feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no
one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of
information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be
reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be
concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of
irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we
would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the
feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in
Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever
on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost
infinite appetite for distractions"."

I’m quite
the leftist and I cannot stand Ben Sarpiro he is homophobic and transphobic, I
do not like the way he is trying to infer that homosexuality is the same as
incest. No one is a bigot for recoiling from and hating incest how can you call
it incestphobia moral relativism at its
finest.
You Peadophile enablers got your wish.
Salon and National Review Online run articles attempting to "humanize" a self professed pedophile. Pedophile accuses 'haters' of being "monsters" for opposing his condition.
