is to show people how truly horrible freedom is, as such they shall beg for it to be stripped forthwith if only to be rid of its crushing aspect, it's terrors, its uncertainties and its indignities. But you mustn't cave too soon, to grab the low fruit of petty freedoms to have them wrested from your clutches again. No, you must let them suffer, stew in their own responsibility, drown in the filth and disarray that freedom means. And when at last they gasp "we can't go on, surely any more and we'll drown!" and "take it, take it all, for all the good it has done us. Sooner be rid of it wholly than endure it a moment longer". And in that moment you can seize it all and hold it tight. Put the lights from their eyes, break their backs, and watch them rejoice for being at last free from what haunts us most of all: liberty. Take it all upon yourself, absolute power, responsibility for all and accountability to none, not even the gods above and demons below. Take it up like christ, your cross to bear, that never again will another soul need be paralyzed, a deer in the headlights of personal responsibility. All for one, and you above all. Haha, to glory!

fear of threats that the general population are unable to manage themselves is what all leader based societies are, and always have been, based on. the type of threats differ from one era/leader to the next. but they all use exaggerated or completely made up threats.
there is much value in being the percieved protector of a population. monetary and political value.
our societies in the west are no different.

And yet, there are still those who would oppose authority at every possible turn, so it's not like it's going to be a walk in the park for the tyrants or anything. They're gonna have to work for it, and they ain't all that good at working.

Until your authoritarian communist dictatorship becomes even shittier to live in and people will want freedom again. Also no matter how shit my life i would rather die free than live in chains. So fuck your state.

That's only because you're in your house. Very soon now, that won't matter, because they'll be able to track and monitor your every movement even in your own house. They'll be able to scan right through brick and mortar all the way from outer space, and all of it will be recorded and logged and stored for their future or current perusal. No joke. Most of these technologies are already in their prototype phases and are being tested out on the unsuspecting public as we speak.
