How long can a civilization run, when it is powered exclusively by official lies? When the people are never told the truth? How do we compare to the Soviet Union in the 1950s? How could they possibly have been worse than America 2.0? We don’t need a tangible Siberia to banish naysayers to. Here, we can just “cancel” them. Make it impossible for them to climb the ladder, to earn enough money to lead a decent life. Make it difficult to forge relationships, or to find love. To find shelter. To buy food.
