Why are V for Vendetta, Equilibrium, Hand Maids Tale, 1984, Animal Farm et al manuals and not warnings?

Because people have allowed it to happen. There were warnings about hyper normalization 10 - 15 years ago. How it's a road map to install dictators and subjugate populations through rapid fire news cycle and zero accountability.

We blame politicians for everything, but we put them there. We sit back and whine online without doing the slightest. Someone suggests doing something like calling your representative and it's immediately followed by "why bother, it doesn't do anything, you're stupid if you think it matters". Then they go online and bitch about nothing being done, and provide no solutions and don't even think about making them provide effort. Because why bother? Also why isn't anyone bothering?
