This can happen to anyone. Why is there no widespread concern or consternation about what the 1998 movie ‘enemy of the state’ predicted to happen?

It's more accurate to get your worldview from actual history than Hollywood movies.

Not really. Umberto Enco's original 14 points were alreay quite questionable, but the author of this hot take altered them beyond recognition.

There is a reason the author linked to a paywall instead of a freely available copy. Just read it yourself: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fasci...

I skipped over some points, not because they're hard to dismiss per se, but because them being intellectually honest makes them hard to dismiss.
