The dystopian nightmare we’re sleepwalking into
The dystopian nightmare we're sleepwalking into

You guys, this is wild. In the past decade, Hollywood has poured billions into dystopian blockbusters, flashing neon warnings of totalitarian nightmares, yet we're too busy sleepwalking into one to care. The UK's Big Brother–style policing of tweets isn't new; just look at Kellie-Jay Keen, hauled in by West Yorkshire Police in 2018 over posts about a transgender activist's son. Though the charges were dropped, the ordeal laid bare a grim reality: speaking out can cost you your peace, your privacy, and your voice, as the state flexes its muscle to crush dissent under the pretense of shielding feelings.
This isn't about whether you like Linehan or Keen personally. It's about precedent. Once the state starts punishing ordinary people for words — especially words that reflect widely held beliefs about biology and boundaries—the dam has already broken. The political right has long sounded the alarm on equating words with literal violence, and now we're living their prophecy: a world where a tweet can land you in cuffs.
