I'm wondering who will benefit from the "Utopia" Klaus and his ilk are longing to create? Utopia for them maybe? Dystopia for us.

It's hard not to imagine that everyone will be a victim of it, even Klaus Inc.

Before this? They're trying to implement it now basically. Rebecca Ketteridge is trying to get everyone to snitch on each other. Spark is working on the dystopian apps to enforce it (they were behind the vaxx pass) and the divisions are already happening.

Nightmare.

The Stasi employed one secret policeman for every 166 East Germans. By comparison, the Gestapo deployed one secret policeman per 2,000 people. As ubiquitous as this was, the ratios swelled when informers were factored in: counting part-time informers, the Stasi had one agent per 6.5 people.

And collapsed after 43/44 years. Two generations.

The Eastern Europeans that I worked with in Europe in 89 hated their countries.

Or was it hated the government ruling their country. I never visited Poland. I know though that Zakopane is very nice. I can't imagine hating Zakopane. :)

Zakopane is nice. As is Kazimierz Dolny. You're right, they hated their governments not their countries.
