Crimson, I can see why you would counsel against paranoia with the TFP still here and us being far from 1984; but I guess the whole point is that, in a way, we have to worry now while we still have the capacity to worry.
The worst oppression is when, through subtle manipulation, we lose the ability to even conceptualize lack of freedom.
A TFP where we were "free" to write but had not the minds to write a thread like this one would be scarier than no TFP whatsoever.
