All true and all very depressing. We've moved into the era of the liberal, totalitarian state, witht he media acting as the ministry of truth, Orwell style. Power in society is now preparing to defend itself from the people who are becoming increasingly resitive. What this means is, that the powerful are once agains retreating, as in the Middle Ages, behind the protective walls of their castles, where life is very different to those on the outside. And I suppose that's the paradox of our age, despite all of our magical tech, our economic and social structure, the distribution of wealth and therefore power, increasingly resembles that found in the pre-modern era; the Middle Ages.
