You have developed what George Orwell called “protective stupidity,” the ability to stop any controversial idea before it becomes fully articulated. Logical fallacies are not perceived, analogies are not grasped, the most basic protests against the Party are misunderstood, or ideally, produce boredom. You think only “happy thoughts” about the President. He has become truth embodied. All information is processed in this context, and whatever thought takes place is regulated in this context.

I love it when you guys HAVE to have us be stupid. We have to be stupid in order for your life to make sense, don't we? Because if we're NOT stupid, then you're lost.

What does that feel like, living your life thinking you, alone, and of all people, know what's right about everything and everyone, and that anybody who doesn't see things the way you do is, in fact, stupid and beneath you? I cannot imagine what a miserable life you must lead, having to put up with the rest of us misinformed and downright idiotic people in the way of you ruling the world. Pesky, ain't we?

Now, I'm only asking what it FEELS like, not what it LOOKS like.

It looks like a condescending pompous ass from the "stupid seats," but you probably have a different "take" on it, being so smart and all.

Whatever I am, I'm not a hater; and for the very fact that you and I don't see eye to eye on anything, I thank God every single night.
