    I always said the Americans wont fight back until there are only 30 brands of cereal on the shelf to pick from.

    As long as they have their comforts and false sense of superiority, they will grumble but ultimately accept their authoritarian regime.

      That’s true for pretty much every society that’s fallen to fascism. People often don’t start rocking the boat to the extent where it affects change until food scarcity starts.

      It’s one of the components of humanity’s Great Filter, IMO. The other being the sociopaths that take advantage of the complacency.
