You honestly think civilians can resist a government determined to oppress it?
Here's how it works. They'll show up at your workplace. Or they'll get you on your way to work, or coming back from work. Or there's going to be a knock on your door in the middle of the night. If you resist, they'll just kill you. Then they'll kill your family. So you'll go along, and if you're lucky, you'll be allowed to go home eventually. If you're lucky, it's an official visit. If you're not, well then, it's going to be men in masks and fatigues, and if they're wearing badges or patches or insignia, they'll be covered up. There will be several of them, and they'll show up out of the blue, and you won't have time to be a hero. You'll get a hood over your head.
There'll be rules and then there'll be consequences. If you know what's good for you, you'll obey the rules, and you won't be bothered. If your neighbor makes trouble, well, safest for you to rat him out, so they don't think you're involved. You'll start worrying about what you say and who you say it to. After all, anyone might rat you out. So you'll be careful.
Maybe your phone is tapped. Maybe your internet is monitored. They got programs now, all they have to do is look for key words. They have algorithms to track purchases and movements, so if you're doing anything suspicious, you could be flagged. They might have a file on you. They've got a file on everyone.
So, you're just going to be a good little boy. And you're not going to make any trouble. And everything is going to be fine.
That's how it works.
John Wayne fantasies are bullshit.
