Totalitarianism is weakness, not strength. From Hardscrabble Farmer at theburningplatform.com:
The functioning of an orderly society depends entirely upon the voluntary submission of the individual to the framework of the establishment, not force employed against them. The threat of loss of liberty, imprisonment, violence, torture, etc. is implied and only need be used as an example rather than as a widespread policy because to do so in reality is impossible.
That was the entire point of the flu hoax and all of its attendant mandates, to gauge the public level of compliance to a government that fully comprehends it is losing power and respect domestically. Where it has tried to carry out the aims and directives of the elites through the force abroad- Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan- it has failed, despite the overwhelming advantage it possessed technologically. Where it has nearly complete control in a lock-down environment, like prisons, it still must bargain with and accept shared control with those inmates and gangs inside their own facilities in order to keep it from going nuclear.
In short, it is the individual who determines just how submissive or free he decides to live his life, not those who pretend at administrating and enforcing the policies of the government.
Humans appear to be driven by a variety of factors, from needs and desires, to love and fear. Some people are more willing to concede whatever is asked of them while others are not. The problem lies not in the laws and directives imposed and how those rules are enforced, but in the vast numbers of people required to execute the orders against an even larger number who would resist or fight back.
