The main thing I get out of these chapters put quite simply is that really no one except the extreme elite (i.e. Lenin, Stalin) were immune to arrest for political purposes. There were pretty much examples listed from every other walk of life. Just the mere mention that you might not be a perfectly agreeable citizen was grounds to be swept away in the night.
So many that support at the very least the heavy handed censorship going around today don't realize that it's coming for them too. Maybe it never gets to arrests but the way the trend is going, just like the Soviets, you will be a perfectly agreeable citizen or you will be silent. I actually think it is trending towards arrest. Right now we are just still in the stage of destruction of livelihood for wrongthink.
Nah it's okay. Along with a record of crimes and transgressions, modern technology provides an infallible record of virtue. Did you see how I owned drumpfh on twitter? I'm a good citizen, a documented good guy on the right side of history!
