I'd be inclined to agree if mass surveillance and literally watching people through their TVs wasn't a thing done by the US government.

i don't get it

what type of people are you talking about

The type of people that equate literally any new law or restriction with a totalitarian regime, often citing Orwells 1984 as some deep, prophetic book at the same time.

Yeah, readers are so terrible. I think people who needlessly use hyperbole are worse than the people you described.

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.

That sounds like a very specific niche population. Worry about more important shit.

Theres nothing wrong with reading books. Im talking specifically those who treat this particular book as some sort of gospel and think that the government/police are out to get them.

Huxley's concept of dystopia is more accurate to the current timeline than Orwell's.

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

Dude, Big Brother is watching you.

Point is, the book talks about pitfalls the erode democracy, personal freedoms and so forth and talks about where it begins. Yes, some people do go overboard, but that doesn't mean the entirety of their arguments or the subject material are invalid.
