Note how it was Yellowstone that shocked with the highest ratings. Maybe not in the mainstream, but outside of it. Sure, there is an ongoing effort to purge undesirables from the shared spaces of the good people вЂ“ but the voices in opposition to it are not only growing louder but more and more people are gravitating towards those voices. He loved Big Brother.вЂќД«ut the problem is, dissent is still allowed in this country. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark mustache. The long-hoped-for bullet was entering his brain. He was walking down the white-tiled corridor, with the feeling of walking in sunlight, and an armed guard at his back. He was in the public dock, confessing everything, implicating everybody. He was backВ in the Ministry of Love, with everything forgiven, his soul white as snow. He was not running or cheering any longer. Winston, sitting in a blissful dream, paid no attention as his glass was filled up. One of them approached with the gin bottle. The waiters were turning back to their work. The voice from the telescreen was still pouring forth its tale of prisoners and booty and slaughter, but the shouting outside had died down a little. Ah, it was more than a Eurasian army that had perished! Much had changed in him since that first day in the Ministry of Love, but the final, indispensable, healing change had never happened, until this moment. The colossus that bestrode the world! The rock against which the hordes of Asia dashed themselves in vain! He thought how ten minutes ago-yes, only ten minutes-there had still been equivocation in his heart as he wondered whether the news from the front would be of victory or defeat.

He looked up again at the portrait of Big Brother. He had not stirred from his seat, but in his mind he was running, swiftly running, he was with the crowds outside, cheering himself deaf. вЂњUnder the table WinstonвЂ™s feet made convulsive movements. In George OrwellвЂ™s masterful 1984 (aka the best book ever written) he compares having the things he values most taken away by forcing him into ideological compliance as akin to having a bullet in the brain, as he closes his book this way: That means complete control of news, art, literature. You can murder, torture or disappear anyone who threatens you. If you are Stalin or Mao you can simply silence dissent. At some point, the whole thing will likely collapse. At some point it is not going to matter what Twitter thinks. They are still going to react in a certain way, especially if their votes are anonymous. Remember, just because you have silenced people doesnвЂ™t mean you have changed their minds. I see fear that is keeping people from speaking out but that doesnвЂ™t change what they actually think. I donвЂ™t see a lot of courage in Hollywood. I feel nothing but anxiety about the future. But my job has been to look back at the past and look forward to the future. I know that my readers here are not exactly thrilled that these are my observations. At some point, plain economics is probably going to have to overcome ideological compliance. I can promise you that the growing majority вЂ“ in the industry, in the audience, throughout the country and world is getting tired of all of it and there will be a massive backlash. Less micromanaging on the Oscars themselves to reflect a utopian ideal for society. This means less Stasi to police thought crimes on Twitter. Right, so what does that mean in the big picture? Well, it means the same thing for the Oscars as it does for the Democrats: at some point, they have to loosen their grip. Who knows what is going to happen to the Oscar ratings. Who knows what is going to happen to movie theaters. Nothing that happens for the next few years is going to calm things down in terms of the fear and hysteria that is driving the Left, ergo the Oscars. Who knows what happens with abortion and the Supreme Court. Potential coming attractions to a social media feed near you: a dramatic loss for Democrats in 2022. Why, because a new silent majority is rising and turning their backs on all of it. It should go without saying that the next couple of years are going to be brutal to live through and brutal in terms of the Oscar race and brutal in terms of the American Left.
