    I just want to sit every liberal down and make them take a crash course on basic logistics. How the hell is “big brother” actually supposed to watch everyone? If you could have 1 agent watching 10 people, that would mean almost 10% of the population would be employed as a “watcher” everyone would know someone whose job is to watch everyone else, it would be the most common job in the country. And of course the obvious bit of “who watches the watchers” which would require a practically infinite number of people to watch these watchers to make sure they aren’t thinking about freedom and democracy.

      But think about it, this is a great way to counter unemployment. How else could the СССР give anyone a job? Just keep people watching around what others are doing!

      What does the Watcher do when two of his targets have a phone call at the same time, how can he listen in to me discussing the weather while my neighbor talks to her mother about an upcoming wedding.

      There is a chance that every detail of the wedding won’t get passed on to the KGB, it would be a disaster! I propose at least three watchers per person, that will fix it.
