"Nobody is coming to save you" isn't even necessarily a blackpill. If more men truly swallowed the implications of it, they might discard the concept of the benevolent paternal state and do what little they can to protect their families and their communities and their own self, themselves. Not everyone can easily gather the resources or resolve to become a full doom-prepper (certainly not me), but that one key perspective shift could be enough to make people go a little further to make Solzhenitsyn's hypothetical come closer to reality:

What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

Yes it's a bleak scenario where not everyone survives, but it ensures that something good could.
