Communism was also like this. People has the public persona, the party tasks, things they had to do and say. Then they went home and listened to Radio Free Europe and talked with select people what they really had on their mind or used coded language to transmit messages. What I hope this achieves is a parallel society and when it's big enough there will be some public battles.

This. And you only spoke political jokes to really close friends.

  I was 11 when Communism fell in my country. By that time, kids knew perfectly well what to say in school, what to say among close friends and who of their colleagues was a snitch.

    It was chilling when before the first day of school may parents made it very clear I shouldn't tell anyone (especially not teachers) that they were listening to Radio Free Europe.

This is already happening. In 2016, that silenced group rallied together to elect a disruptive bully as retaliation against the establishment. In 2020, the establishment went full aggression and elected someone who seems to be impaired as a way to backdoor in someone wildly unpopular like Ms Harris. Over this same period, far left media has struggled to find commercial success, with bombs like Star Wars IX. By contrast, films like Joker set records — showing the problem isn’t a lack of demand. In 2021, that same people who elected Trump held a riot at the capitol after nine months of violent rioting by the Democrats. They targeted a point in the process where disruption would force coverage and discussion of their issues. This was called an “insurrection” by the same people who had worked to fund and support the violent rioting, such as Ms Harris or Ms Waters. The capitol is now being permanently fortified and has a permanent military presence. I would say on the communist scale, it’s already to the point they’re afraid — and we’re approaching civil war. They’re really setting the record on speed runnings.
