After the epidemic of green passes, lockdowns, and all kinds of extreme measures we’ve had everywhere in the « west » during the past two years, i’ve come to the conclusion people actually don’t have red lines when it comes to personal freedoms. They adapt incredibly fast, and are ready to accept every kind of measures provided the government will present them with a good narrative (generally centered around safety from a perceived danger). Some people will laugh at me for remarking this only now, as we’ve already had those measures everywhere in the world for the past 25 years, following 9/11 attacks. I still can’t help we’ve recently fell to a new low. Maybe the decades of SF movies showing distopian futures actually had the opposite effect on new generation : they didn’t warn them, they only made them accustomed to the idea, and accept those kind of environments more easily.
