What will an American totalitarian police state look like? [View all]
Sadly, what I had predicted for the last 50 years has come to pass here in the USA. My regret is that I didn't do more to prevent it happening, or to at least delay it.

Unfortunately the modern Fascists have tools at their disposal that the Nazis could only dream about 80 years ago. Namely, information technology. The weapons of propaganda and surveillance at their disposal are far more powerful that any gun.

With the enormous capacity of computing power today, it is a simple matter to have a full dossier on every American citizen which will include every single thing about you from your political beliefs to your sexual orientation to any public statements on forums such as this, or other social media. And it will be updated with your location and and movements in real time in the years to come.
Make no mistake, that will be used to enslave us and to ensure our allegiance to the Corporate State.
