Try Shooting an Elephant. Something like three pages long.
If you don't oppose mass surveilance you're pretty much engaging in cuck mentality. Just saying.
Quote from: SoporificSlash on October 14, 2015, 07:46:07 PMQuoteSorry, but fuck privacy. To this day, I still want government cameras everywhere, watching everything and everyone, at all times. That sounds like an excellent idea to me. No criminal, none at all, would ever be able to get away with any sort of crime ever again--it would just be a matter of catching them.Don't like being watched? Stop breaking the fucking law, then.You're not breaking the law? Then you have nothing to worry about.So unjust laws should be followed and not broken?Yes.If you don't like the law, change the law.Don't break the law.

That's how laws are changed, genius. Look at the civil rights movement.

We're not living in a world where we can't have an honest discourse about the law anymore. And besides--the brunt of what led to civil rights was due to protests, which are legal. Rosa Parks sparked a conversation--she didn't change the law.

cuck
represents the death of masculinity and self-respect

Relying on an external factor to assure your safety is cuckoldry.This desire to "just let the state handle it" in so many aspects of life represents the death of masculinity and self-respect.
Is a computerized monitor less likely than a man to be malicious? Sure, I'll acknowledge that.But you shouldn't want that. You should want to be in charge of your own person, your own safety. Because you can rely on no one if not yourself.

Our government is literally owned by businesses. The only way to change things is to defy the law. Nothing will be changed by going through the rigged process.

Further, life has no meaning.
To what end? Of what value is an experience with minimal or no adversity?
I was forced to read this for my English class during my senior year, and I couldn't get into it. It bored the hell out of me.

I think that's the main point of any democracy. Laws are to be changed by the people and only enacted by the government. If people don't like the laws, then they have the right to change it through popular votes to their local representative.Unless the people are retarded and don't do shit.
Spoiler So, I read George Orwell's 1984 last week...
