    As chaotic and brave as possible or not at all.

    That’s sounds accurate for Russia, but could it be that different strategies remain possible in the US? The US could be on it’s way to be a totalitarian state like Russia, but it’s not there yet, and still has a lot of (flawed) democratic institutions. I think in the US you can still protest without being put in jail.

      I don’t think so, because what I said didn’t mention anything about already having totalitarianism. The means today’s governments have at their disposal allow to achieve most of things done by classic 30s totalitarian regimes without visible violence.

        Thanks for the reply. I’d argue it’s still worthwhile to speak out in a peaceful manner and hope that truth will prevail, but maybe you’re right and I am too optimistic
