  • “‘Unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth’” – On X, Michael Shellenberger has shared a tweet of Jacinda Ardern speaking dialogue that would not be out of place for a woke villain in a Hollywood dystopian thriller.

If Hollywood were to produce a dystopian thriller whose Woke villain said Orwellian things like, “Unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth,” every establishment movie critic in the world would pan it as cartoonish. In the real world, such lines win you a job at Harvard. https://t.co/If7a6iNIQ8
