I can’t remember where I heard or read this but they pointed out that the technology infrastructure for fascism is already in place.
And it’s a terrifying truth. There are who knows how many agencies each one alone with enough personal information on the population to do serious damage. Unfortunately humans react to things. It’s not until terrible atrocities occur that the population will require change. Until then we get to watch this slow motion derailing freight train. Some us may inevitable be caught in the path of destruction ourselves.
