There has been more buzz in the news about good people resisting unjust laws then criminals resisting just laws and this is relevant in talking about dystopias as it isn't a dystopia until we have rebels resisting it. And as economics goes, we're heading to a centralized economy.
Don't believe the news. It's all controlled by the centralized government. They just print that stuff to get you to believe what they want you to believe. And it's not just newspapers, it's the whole media, TV, Radio, Hollywood movies, internet. (Internet? who knows you might be working for "them".) Aw shucks, did I just get nailed? Now "they" know who I am.
If things keep spiraling out of control, we're going to have to worry more about "animal farm" than 1984... watch out for the revolution!!
