The Sovieticizing of Western Democracies

The Soviet Union, USSR, for 75 years was ruled by a small group of Communists in a one-party-dominated government which told its citizens what they could and couldn’t read, say, or do; where they could go and where they couldn’t go; and levied harsh requirements on how they lived their lives.
Now the social media platforms censor what people can post, corporations punish and even fire employees for violating speech codes, government bureaucrats issue mask mandates and travel restrictions, etc.
Where is the scepticism on the narrative: climate change ,gender affirmation etc. Unless the masses wake up from their apathy they will face the same conditions as the people in the USSR suffered under. A Uniparty rule where anyone that steps out of line from the official narrative is sent to the Gulag.
There are Americans who by being associated with the 6th Jan 2021 Election Fraud Protest at Washington DC are still incarcerated now for 782 days without charges being laid.
