Alan: The upshot of capitalism as it relates to uneducated people (a descriptor that is qualitatively different from un-instructed people) has been to condition society to live in a matrix of consumer-unit stupefaction.
Specifically, consumer-unit stupefaction means that anything resembling responsible citizenship has been replaced by dimwitted grasping after self-centered pleasure with little-to-no consideration for "The Common Good," "The General Welfare" or a truly social "Social Contract."
Increasingly, we are ruled by the informal motto of The Republlican Party: "We Are All In This.... Alone."
Orwell cuts to the quick.
