Information power

Many people who watched the trailer are complaining about the sparse heads of Brexit and hair loss, but after watching the film, people can't laugh, and in the cold January, people feel more and more chilly. .

The plot logic clearly sorts out how Brexit happened. This incident has been discussed many times. There is nothing to say about it. The most noteworthy thing is that the film hopes that people will pay attention to the public opinion. To deliberately control this dangerous behavior. Under the capitalist system, the advancement of science and technology does not necessarily liberate the people more, but may further enslave the people. This is not a pseudo-scientific bridge in the ``Black Mirror'' drama, but a reality. What has happened in the world and continues to happen. In order to experience efficiency, people have to compromise with network service providers and give up some privacy rights. The seemingly insignificant scattered information collected from the general public contains huge amounts of information. Potential power, this power cannot be directly exercised, but it allows its controller to usurp the people's free choice of power, because it controls the people's raw materials for thinking from the source--the information, which in fact deprives the people of their ability to think freely.

Many ordinary people do not realize what is really good for the country. They are tired of experts and politicians' ungrounded rhetoric. They just want to vent their neglected anger, and many people don't even know why they are angry. They are unable to make constructive opinions. Although they have grown up, they are actually unable to be responsible for themselves, let alone the country, because of the limitations of their education and class. Western democracy is ugly because it cannot adapt to the progress of the times. There are many shortcomings, and if the information power that has risen with the advancement of information technology is not controlled, it will be an unimaginable prospect ahead of the road.

Brexit quotes

  • Dominic Cummings: [scene cuts between the two offices of Vote Leave and Vote Remain as they write out strategy] We also know that the other side are gonna run a campaign the way that campaigns have been run for pretty much the last 70 years. They're gonna fight from the center, and they're gonna make it about jobs and the economy.

    Andrew Cooper: We focus on the economy and jobs. The message: leaving risks both.

    Craig Oliver: Clinton '92. Best campaign ever. "It's the economy, stupid".

    Andrew Cooper: You define your opponent as the riskier option, and though the change candidate might initially poll well, come election day the nerves kick in. Voters revert back to center. Law of political science - if the status quo are ahead before the campaign begins, which we are, they always win on the day. So...

    Douglas Carswell: So, what's our answer?

    Dominic Cummings: Tzu's "The Art of War". If we fight them on home terrain, they will win. So what we need to do is lead them to the ninth battlefield. The deadly ground where no one expects to find themselves. Outcome? *They* perish.

    Victoria Woodcock: Which means?

    Dominic Cummings: You reverse the proposition. We make *them* the risky option. To stay is to risk losing more of the things we cherish - we're asking voters not to reject the status quo, but to return to it, to independence. How much does it cost us each week to be members of the EU?

    Daniel Hannan: In the region of...

    Dominic Cummings: What's our researcher's name?

    Matthew Elliott: Richard.

    Dominic Cummings: Ricardo, will you get me all the figures up for how much it costs to be members of the EU for a week? Largest one wins.

    Matthew Elliott: Make sure it's verifiable!

  • Dominic Cummings: It's not rocket science, it's simple. There are three types of voter. Those certain to vote to exit, that's one third. Well, they're in the bag, so ignore them. Those certain to vote to stay, that's another third, and we can't touch them so fuck 'em. The last third: "I would like to leave, but I'm worried about what the effect will be to jobs and living standards". *These* are the only people that we need to care about. And trust me, the others will be after exactly the same bunch.

    [cut to Vote Remain offices]

    Craig Oliver: Now, these are who will decide the result. The "Hearts versus Heads" and the "Disengaged Middle". 34% of the electorate.
