Missing the best part: "the robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
"We are going to build a communist utopia with no traces of the bourgeois and capitalism" and "we are going to destroy you until we get a fictional deadly virus to nothing" is now one and the same, both in process and result.
Particularly the rise of a technocratic organisation hellbent on global domination and the subjugation of everybody on the planet in That Hideous Strength. He was a genius and prophet. Parts of That Hideous Strength make my blood run cold and are eerily prescient given the circumstances we're living through. NICE would have made Teilhard de Chardin rock hard.
they do this A LOT with words btw. Almost all are deliberate...tyranny/tranny is new to me tho, lol.
