I havent opened it yet but the book American Midnight came highly highly recommended, which covers this time period & this event. A power hungry intolerant federal government mandating War-fervor & jingoism, suppressing all outside voices (largely liberal…

……改善了农村地区的邮政服务。不过客观地说，他可能是历任邮政总局长中最糟糕的一个——G. J. Meyer。这家伙在 Hochschild 精彩的《American Midnight》里一次又一次出现，严密监控并封杀各种让他看不顺眼的政治、民权、劳工、种族以及反战人士，不让他们寄信。凭借 1917 年的《间谍法》，在国会的撑腰下……

Sort of side note, but very much meta-on-topic; I'm reading American Midnight (2022) about the suppression of labor, progressives, & anything standing in the way of capital around WW1, and it's amazing & sad.

A huge amount of the book touches on the power of information.…
……积极阻挠人们为自己和世界谋福利的可能。我强烈建议大家去读读美国最黑暗的时期之一，看看在人们忍无可忍之前到底发生了什么。Adam Hochschild 的《American Midnight》（2022）讲了一段令人惊叹的历史：一战前后的国家机器彻底激进化，跟人民站在了对立面，被有钱有势的财阀势力全面攻陷。胡佛则动用警察国家的全部力量去监视……

我还没翻开看，但《American Midnight》这本书被强力推荐过，讲的就是这个时期和这起事件。一个嗜权如命、排除异己的联邦政府强制推行狂热的好战与沙文主义，打压一切外部声音（主要是自由派……

……煽动或引发此类行动。”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shouting_fire_in_a_crowded_the... 发现这是针对一战时期的限制，我一点都不意外，因为我正在读那本超级棒的《American Midnight》，讲的就是美国政府（USG）如何建立庞大的监控网络和民团组织，来摧毁劳工权益、人权、社会主义事业，以及所有不肯给这场充斥着疯狂洗脑宣传、由大财阀主导的战争买单的人。……

……在网上，而且从我能看到的包含 2022 年移民统计的数据来看，移民似乎已经把失去的时间加倍补回来了。顺便插一句，但也算非常扣题：我正在读《American Midnight》（2022），讲的是一战前后对劳工、进步人士以及任何阻碍资本发展之物的残酷镇压，既精彩又让人唏嘘。里面讲到了经济、军事动员，尤其是社会层面的动员……

……人类在某种程度上对隐私有根本性的需求，如果人类被剥夺了独立人格的认同感，被高层管得太死，这个世界就会变得恶心至极。我的例子出自《American Midnight》，这是一部非常非常非常长的书，讲的是 100 年前美国干的那些丑事。写得很棒，正如书名所言，极其黑暗。书中很大一部分内容都涉及到了信息的力量。……
