5. incompetence is a double-edged sword of Damocles
Instead of 1984 we inherited the Ministry of Information from Gilliam's Brazil; police state bureaucrats are selected for mediocrity by virtue of nepotism, simple mistakes are magnified catastrophically by the lack of controls ("Mistakes? We don't make mistakes"), while life threatening emergencies are politely ignored until both parties fill out the requisite paperwork ("don't forget your 27B stroke 6").
