You think stasi like societal control is abolished, that it doesn't exist in the western countries in one way or another? That current tech developments is not controlled and people are being fed utter bs things like Moore's law, so they would believe it? Just look at other developing countries and watch their output and you'll immediately see that the whole thing is controlled from the top down. These developing countries' population are not 100% regulated/forced into a mold, thankfully, but they will be (hope they f up this status quo and behead those that force this onto masses). People snitch on other people just for the kicks of it or because they can excerpt some sense of power out of it. So there is your control. What percent of the population is enough to regulate the rest, to trip someone early enough to siderail his ambitions or projects that would rearrange things for the better? 1-2%? Plus when strange things start to appear out of nowhere, like a talking dog or people with fluffy tails, well, then you gonna have visitors.
