I believe if society were to devolve, it would devolve according the democracy portrayed in Brave New World and not the fascism portrayed in 1984. Democracy is more dangerous than Tyranny. CMV.

In 1984 a Fascist government bans things, changes the language to prevent deep thought, and tortures people so severely they see things the government's way.

In Brave New World, people opt to act a certain way.  They collectively emote in approved zones, change their language voluntarily, remove intimacy...

Humans are pack animals.  We behave according to the group.  An everyday sane person is more likely to commit acts of atrocities in a group, genocide and the like, than 'snap' and shoot up a mall.

I think of Reddit.  Reddit does have a hive mind.  Individuals are ego driven.  So in a thread about cop hate, a counter will end up downvoted to oblivion.  People are more willing to confirm their assertion via group think than be wrong, and change their opinion.  So if some random dictator decided to 'change the status quo', the US would sound like a Rage Against the Machine song.

Tyranny of the majority is more dangerous than tyranny of the minority.

I've always seen Brave New World as a more technologically advanced society where the equivalent of the Party (1984) has long since won, altering everyone's thought patterns to the point where an actual governing body isn't nearly as necessary.
