How Power Structures Protect Themselves
In 1949, a book was written titled Nineteen Eighty-Four, in which George Orwell fictionally explained how, in the future, systems and governments would become so powerful that they would prioritize their own power struggles over people’s well-being. And remember, we’re talking about the West, where democracy is considered very mature. According to Orwell, such states never truly end conflicts or wars; one way or another, they keep fear alive among people. If fear remains intact, people stay obedient.
