The United States nearing 20 trillion dollars in debt, and the federal government continues to subsidize hot tubs and safe spaces.

There are a lot of people my age who are starting to realize the problems we are creating. They are still a minority (in terms of their ideology), but it is growing. I think we might be experiencing something similar to the baby boomers, but on a much more extreme scale. What we're experiencing now reminds me a lot of when Chairman Mao ZeDong came into power.
I have concerns at times for my protection to exercise free speech, as I am a college student and higher education is the worst place to have an opinion that could hurt someone's feelings. Even still, the United States is one of the best places to be in terms of freedom of speech. Granted free expression wasn't the focus of this article, but it usually is for this project.
Fun fact, this is the first time I have wrote about the second amendment. This was never planned to happen, but what happened disgusted me.

I've been wanting to spoil 1984's ending since a podcast spoiled it for me. I think this is the appropriate article to spoil 1984.

"He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother."

These safe spaces (as well as speech codes and trigger warnings) are being implemented because the students are demanding them, they are demanding these acts of censorship to be in effect. A lot of these administrators are practically forced into allowing the policies by the student body (this especially so on private campuses where rich college students hold more leverage over the faculty. See Yale student mentioned in the article for more on this.)

Since you brought up "liberal" advances in education, I recommend this video on progressivism (what you're likely referring to), and how it conflates itself with liberalism, despite it opposing all core liberal ideas. www.youtube.com

This article is meant to focus on the popularization of censorship, and its alarming amount of support.

The Twilight Zone happens to be one of my current obsessions. It's provocative allegories for human nature appeals to me. There is a spin-off in England of The Twilight Zone called Black Mirror which focuses on problems we are likely to face in the future. Season 1 Episode 1 has a plot that is very similar to something that happened there recently. :/

Gene: Sector E38 is a fictional representation of Western Society. I'm writing a second post explaining why I wrote it. Sector E38 is what I fear the world to become, while also what the world is.

The book centers around the importance to question everything.
"Question everything. Truth does not exist without proof. Sector E38 will fall by the hands of our own." -Sabine Retlin (a character in the story who only exists in her writings)
