Hypothesis: ideologically-aligned people across governmental, media, scientific, and corporate entities sincerely believe totalitarian measures promote common welfare. Given the propensity for ideologically-aligned people to consume similar information sources, distributed and uncoordinated actions may unwittingly work toward a common, unspoken goal. These people may not need to ever know each other. I recommend reading about memetic warfare [1] for a strategic overview of targeting and infecting a receptive host population with ideas. Remember that ideologies matter, especially to those people with power over the direction of society. We may also hypothesize that at least some of those ideologically-aligned people do in fact know each other and agree upon plans-of-action. If you don't believe such meetings occur in practice, I encourage you to hold a high-level leadership position in a large organization and attempt to propagate measures such as the imposition of totalitarian measures across society. You simply cannot do it alone. The reality is likely a combination of both approaches: some people promulgating a totalitarian agenda (though the word "totalitarian" will never be intentionally associated with the agenda), and more people agreeing with and therefore furthering that agenda (even those those people may be opposed to totalitarianism when identified as such).
