    We’re watching in real time the conversion of ‘normal people’ into complicit members of the regime. We were complacent, we enabled the government to put the people in a situation where we don’t have a choice anymore.

    Sure, you can ‘refuse’, but then you have to deal with the consequences of that refusal; months in jail, no paycheck, no benefits, fired, demoted, family starving or under investigation, denationalized and/or deported. Look at the normal Americans who have spent months in jail and lost their jobs, and have stained criminal records, or lost their careers, for absolutely no reason other than they said or did something the regime didn’t like. Not illegal, but they stood up and they’re losing everything.

    No wonder young twenties somethings, normal people, are taking up admin jobs working for ICE and the DHS’s immigration agenda. No wonder the Proud Boy type, that has no other marketable skills, are taking up these raids and bounty hunting jobs.

    We don’t have to wonder why normal people became part of the Nazi’s regime, anymore. You crush the people long enough, that even if you don’t really agree with their agenda, you still need to put food on the table and raise your children. ‘Better them than me, they’re the ones that broke the law.’
