The past few decades are a slow motion torture of the type portrayed in Star Trek NG 'Chain of Command', "How many lights?"

From 1984:

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.

I so agree with the slow torture.

Drip, drip, drip. Sometimes I feel as if I'm either actually living in the Twilight zone or just losing my mind.
