People on r/lockdownskepticism and the like tend to say stuff like "Imagine if someone told you in late 2019 that in two years, Australia would be an openly totalitarian state including concentration camps". Which is a fair point, but NPCs still don't believe it even if you shove video proof right in their faces. Bezmenov was absolutely correct.
Even then some won't be convinced..per Solzhenitsyn, there were ardent communists in the gulags who were avid supporters of communism and Stalin until their dying breath. Their being in the gulag was simply a "mistake."
I was just talking to someone about this. The level of commitment and insanity true believers have is astounding. There are genuine unapologetic Stalinist around today and that blows my mind.
I wonder if they, the "traitors", thought themselves martyrs who may have said or done something against the party and thus deserved it. Or, as you said, it was simply a mistake but a justified one.
If you told someone that on lockdown skepticism in 2019 they would have removed your comment for being a "conspiracy theory", then reported you to the admins to shut down your account.
That sub is definitely a honey pot, got my 10yr account suspended forever and I didn't even post anything very spicy. Now I got Tony and Dom telling me my new account is shadowbanned

Things have to get a lot worse before they can get better. Perhaps not until mass graves.

People today whose parents went through this shit support it.
They're nuts.

I need to re-read Darkness at Noon.
Soviet Union killed ~30 million of their people and the people never rose up.
Don't count on it.
Well they fought a Civil War on the heels of World War I then followed by World War II. It all kinda blended together.
UN 'Peacekeepers' will be throughout the US, at the end of the beginning.
Later, Patriots and gun owners are mostly dead or locked up.
The NWO wins.

Did that sub even exist in 2019?
That doesn't really matter to the hypothetical situation.
But I think it started Feb/March 2020
