Recent video from Computing Forever.
As a vegan, I'm not big on the first few minutes of this video, though I'd agree that genetically modified or lab-grown meat "alternatives" are hardly better than the corpses of factory farmed animals. You can avoid this pitfall by buying organic or making sure your food is labeled "non-GMO."
I like how Dave explains how the obvious lie of "Doublethink" is being used to cow the people into cognitive dissonance. I also appreciate his analogy of Drumpf being set up as a kind of false, polarizing figure like "Emanuel Goldstein" of Orwell's classic, Nineteen-Eighty-Four. I don't think he's the "savior" many people on the right are hoping he is (and I'd put "Q" in that same category). Then again, I could be wrong. It's up to you to use your own common sense.

“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” - Voltaire
