What I don't get is how people growing up in free coutries can have such a distopian view of their governments. You all watched too much black mirror. If you study how the balance of powers are structured in the US/UK/EU you'll find it's nigh impossible for these countries to become totalitarian. The US even under Trump didn't become one, but he was as close to a possible dictator as it gets. How do you all go about your daily lives with such dark views on the world? Are there seriously so many doomers/preppers/anarchists out there?
