I am unsure of this going forward.
Something has changed. You used to be correct, now it seems they want more control.
Getting people to build their own prisons is what we have seen for quite a while.
Selective enforcement has kept most people in line. The fear of being singled out is quite strong.
But, now things are falling apart. The fear isn't working as much. There are too many people with nothing, and thus, nothing to lose.
So, T.H.E.Y. are salivating over 15 minute cities and Central bank digital currencies. Where they have complete control over the food, water, energy and money. And i am sure that many people would go to such a place, it sounds like their utopia.
Things are falling apart for the controllers and then they try to control harder, which makes it more apparent…
