"Many young people our afraid to have any of their own opinions. "
This may be true. I see them as afraid to act, not afraid to have opinions. It may depend on where you are.

While I love 1984, these people always make me think more of Animal Farm. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

They certainly live in some alternate reality, don't they?

All books I love, and hearing that "a Safe Space" made you think of them makes my day! :)

Please feel free to print.

Excellent. What is disturbing is I know some of these people. They and their lives are fictional. The collective defines the individual. Until the individuals are absorbed. Long Live John Galt.

Please do that. It may sell more copies than "1984".

Oh, Dear God... I know people like this... I need to go back and read 1984 before I decide they are stupid (er... lower IQ) so I can forgive them their capitulating to the propaganda (or, at least, acknowledging their lemming-ness).

From a song, "Molly O'Malley's: "You can't be shy and you cannot lie when you sing a song that's true"
Brave New World, 1984, Anthem.....These came immediately to mind mid story. You're in good company.
With permission, I'd like to print this. There's a place on the wall nesting with "The Paradox of Our Time", Bob Moorehead and "The Invitation", Oriaha House.

Okay, I was just making--probably inappropiatly---anattempt at humor. But now I understand Since it happened so long ago historians have had ample time to vett the facts so it couldn't be called fake newss (although i could have been at the time)t

More likely he was dead and didn't know it.

And that knock belonged to a liberal who was running for government office...

Thank you!

No, but maybe I'll take some to my local college....

When I say creative non-fiction I'm thinking of books like those written by Bill O'Reilly like Killing Lincoln or Killing Patton. If you've ever read any of those books, there are a lot of historical facts in them BUT he also takes liberties. For example, he'll wrote what Lincoln was thinking upon entering Richmond after the Confederate capitol fell... obviously, he has no way of knowing what Lincoln was actually thinking. He can make educated guesses based on letters, conversations, etc. but that's the "creative" part....

"The last man on earth sat alone in a rustic cabin. There came a knock on the door."

A short, short, apocalyptic story.

Yes, and as you know...that is exactly what the bicameral brained only people do!...read the old testament, the scrolls, and all the weirdo creatures that sacrificed virgins, babies and enemies to the gods.
Defending, appeasing the gods to protect them from nature and their own behavior of which they have projected upon something else.

Outstanding! Have you considered printing a few thousand copies on paper with an official govt. " tax stamp" and distributing them at the next university sponsored anti trump rally in, say, Austin, TX. or Madison, WI. just to see if they get it?

Funny Q has said to focus on the mirror. Remember the proof with the photo in AF1 of the reflection in the iPhone of POTUS office in the plane .Think mirror.
His description of projection . The reference to narcissist preening in front of the mirror. The trait of narcissist to project.

Excerpt From Q's most recent post......
Define 'Projection'.
The attribution of one's own ideas, feelings, or attitudes to other people or to objects; especially : the externalization of blame, guilt, or responsibility as a defense against anxiety?
The forming of a plan : scheming?
Define 'Psychological Projection'.
A theory in psychology in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others?
Define 'Narcissist'.
A person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves: narcissists who think the world revolves around them | narcissists preening themselves in front of the mirror?

Hence, the upside down paradigm.
The whole idea of the safe space community center was to get away from their own racist and judgementalist attitudes...they just can't stand to see themselves in the mirror.

hmmm "creative non-fiction"? do you mean a PC name for Fake News--or just an oxymoron? lol

Many young people our afraid to have any of their own opinions. It is dangerous to do so.
Much safer to parrot the PC line.

Very impressive.
What makes it so good is the underlying reality that so many actually think like that.
Our world has nearly gone mad with this non-sense.

Ugh... I know. I only had 1,000 words! There was WAY to much to cover....

Thanks. I can definitely see those SafeSpace communities turning into Anthem like societies.

Thank you!

I would love to see Gulchers write Objectivist short stories or even just their takes on political satire. I be there'd be some amazing creations.
