Very insightful and I agree with your conclusions. It does depress me, however. I guess I just distill it all down to the conflict between collectivism and individualism. Collectivism requires ever more power to achieve its utopia but at this point they're resorting to the illiberal and ridiculous. They're typical pattern is nudge, coerce, re-educate, imprison and if all that fails, a bullet to the head. It feels like we're on the 1984 train to a Brave New World.
