It's really funny how big states today have solved the problem of public outrage at wholesale censorship and surveillance, simply by introducing it 10 times slower than all those goosestepping predecessors.
Definitely. Just take one tiny step at a time. No one will notice and it all just seems normal: "It's always been like that." No, it hasn't always been like that. The tiny steps got you to the same place, it just took longer.
The saddest thing is, the bad people are the ones who fight back (in their minds.)
I've talked to some people of the "relative of a bureaucrat\politician" kind. If it makes this emotionally easier for you, they know that they are the bad people.
They just think they are smarter and stronger and thus deserve to screw people.
