This is a great question. But like a bunch of other folks, I chose my preferred option instead of the one I wanted to avoid ? derp.
I think I have a bleaker view of tyranny. All artistic medium would be unconditionally banned because (a) art is integrally political: ?even the view that art should not be political is itself a political attitude? ? George Orwell (appropriately ? lol) and (b) because tyranny. Further, some say we?ll still have services and still be safe in this society but I can?t see it. None of the services work in pure tyranny and there?s no universal healthcare ? let alone even dreadful universal healthcare. At least in tyranny we won?t starve though.
Besides, even though the killing and raping by the thought police wouldn?t be half as much as chaos raiders, they'll have nothing to oppose them. Either way, death is likely and you will live in fear. In chaos, me and my tribe will do our best and who knows, there?s still a minute sliver of a chance that chaos won?t result in tyranny and instead the civil war-like thing might result in a standoff. Also, I want to keep my books at least a while before I run out of firewood (other art will be problematic... but not impossible.)
I?ve read a few posts from libertarians saying they?ll prefer tyranny and give good and respectable reasons why. Weirdly enough I?m a socialist and I?d prefer chaos. Someone else said it?d be interesting to see how Americans voted in comparison to other places and I agree. (I?m British btw.)
Anyway, this is fun!
