In George Orwell's book 1984, it turns out that the whole hideous totalitarianism that crushed the hero is based on ending one simple, useless-sounding freedom; "Freedom," it says, "is the freedom to say that two plus two make four."
Who would have ever thought that in the once-great United States of America would reside almost 345 million souls, virtually every one of whom today is shaking in his boots, quivering, numb with fear over what dreadful things might happen if he just once simply put his foot down, gritted his teeth, and spit out the words: “Two plus two makes four. And that's all there is to it. Period.” In today's climate, speaking out against false claims can be violently opposed. We are supposed to believe that a man can be a woman, that 2+2=5, and it is a serious handicap to social conditions.
What a marvelous and wonderful world this would be if just a small group of honest and thoughtful, courageous men and women would view the revealing and provocative proofs in the American codex and exclaim with all their might in a loud, loud voice to all within hearing range: "I see it. I no longer will remain bound by the willful ignorance that binds the multitudes. I will tell others. I will speak out until, someday, maybe soon, the whole, rotten woke establishment comes crashing down."
Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles.—Dostoevsky
