I expect he’ll be justified and vindicated in history if we end up in a global totalitarian prison planet scenario that seems to become more possible as the tech reaches that capability. “For the safety of the children” ofcourse.

What kind of history will a totalitarian prison planet write, I wonder.

1984 will be banned as being too inspirational, perhaps?

1984 is not inspirational, it's cautionary. The main character has already lost from the first page of the book.

I tend to disagree. 1984 seems the playbook for the majority of politicians. For them, it's inspirational.

Maybe we should begin asking, "whose children, specifically?"
