North Americans and Western Europeans are incredibly naive about how authoritarian states work.
All authoritarian states will end up having a caste sysem hierarchy. The upper caste have it just as good a people in the West and in modern times they will have unfiltered access to the Internet. They have zero reason to revolt because they have everything then need.
- varjag 3y agoThey rarely have it just as good as in the West. But being on the top in your society can make you gloss over a lot.
