“We'd all survive if Twitter shut down for a short while during major riots. Social media isn't any more important than a train station, a road or a bus service. We don't worry about police temporarily closing those. Common sense. If riot info and fear is spreading by Facebook and Twitter, shut them off for an hour or two, then restore.” IfsTwoImportantSocialHoursCommonWorryMediaMajorsPoliceTrainSocial MediaCommon SenseStationsBusClosingRiotTrain Stations Author:Louise Mensch

“There`s a division in most major police departments called, `Special Victims Unit,` which is what sex crimes are euphemistically called.

“It was with the last revolution and the coming of INGSOC (Inglish/English Socialism) that the latest High learnt how to keep their position permanently - by cultivating ignorance among the other classes and by constantly surveying them through the Thought Police. Part of this strategy included the maintenance of a state of continual warfare, which Goldstein discussed in the third chapter. The three major powers were not fighting this perpetual war for victory; they were fighting to keep a state of emergency always present as the surest guarantee of authoritarianism.” WarStatesLastsFightingThreePoliticsClassPositionIgnoranceRevolutionVictoryMajorsThirdsPoliceStrategySocialismGuaranteesPerpetualChaptersWarfareEmergenciesMaintenanceAuthoritarianismCultivatingThought PolicePerpetual War Author:George Orwell
