Aldous Huxley wrote in 1931: “The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitude. We have been conditioned to worship our sports figures, actors, musicians, and even notorious criminals. We are conditioned to desire to own the next greatest thing. All this is a distraction so we pay no attention to the puppet masters of the shadow government.”
