Food. Music. Poems.
Food (local stuff), music (love songs and songs about simple life) and poems (love, sun, sky, sea, nature, languages-games etcetera) are the niches that remain for individual 'homo sapiens' when dictators - in their own Newspeak they call themselves "the real democrats" - take over control in a country.
What is left ...
- when the going gets tough?
- when demonstrators (Newspeak: terrorists) go into jail, get tortured or be killed?
- when sentinel species stop to speak up (better: stop singing when a bird or stop swimming when a fish or stop living when a plant)?
- when a dialogue is no longer possible?
- when individuals are no longer able to distinguish between facts and fake news?
And books? All dictators have their own list of prohibited books. No safe haven!
And art? All dictators have their own definition of degenerated art. No safe haven!
