RE: "The Handmaid’s Tale" by Bruce Miller - review
I couldn't finish the first season. My usual problem with western stories trying to show a society living under a totalitarian government. The have no idea how it is. The show the fear but doesn't know it. The fear of government becomes part of your gene identity. Many times you don't even feel the fear, you don't understand which you have done something ore have not done to avoid the consequences!
I am agree with you.
I am currently reading Solzhenitsyn's "Archipelago Gulag", there is the real horror that western intellectuals don't realize and some of them as the surrealist are tempted to praise the communist regime. Very symptomatic for the Western thought.
Well well... that's exactly the point. Funny! After my father found out my passion for socialism, tried to save me by Solzhenetsyn :-))))))) He is still if I wasn't fond of Socialism would find a real job :-D!!
