My ex father in law was kind of an ***,but one thing he said that was spot on was when talking about how the government let just enough drugs in,just enough liquor store and plenty of tobacco to keep us from revolting.We'll talk and drink till we just forget about our complaint
Anyway I found this along the same lines

Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isnt watching. Hes singing and dancing. Hes pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brothers busy holding your attention every moment youre awake. Hes making sure youre always distracted. Hes making sure youre fully absorbed. Hes making sure your imagination withers. Until its as useful as your appendix. Hes making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, its worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about whats in your mind. With everyones imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.
