This is the tried-and-tested Stasi technique.
You don't need to be brainwashed, you just need to be afraid.
Afraid of being reported yourself, if you don't report others. You never know, if the "other" was just a false flag to test your reporting. You never know if your best friend, who also witnessed the same thing, reported. He doesn't know if you reported. Reverse prisoner's dilemma.

He doesn't know if you reported. I am worried about the authoritarian turn my country (not China) is taking. But reading and contemplating these words sent a shiver down my spine.
