It’s mesmerizing to see how easy it has been to transform the USA into what was decried China to become about 5 years ago.

You see some form of resistance (the guy that was caught with a truck full of cut Flock cameras) but it seems the population is resigned.

They say "every accusation is a confession" yet I'm still continually surprised by accusations that I never thought would turn out to be confessions, turning out to be confessions. Like the Chinese surveillance state.

It seems to be a type of psychological projection - someone harbors an ideal like a surveillance state and assumes everyone else is harboring the same ideal so they accuse them.

I hope the Uyghur genocide accusation doesn't turn out to be a confession.
