One thing to note is that a lot of US citizens do not even acknowledge that their country’s economy runs off of war; it’s like they don’t need to go “deny Tiananmen Square”; they just go full idiocracy. Also they mostly kill non-US citizens, so again, not the perfect analogy but it’s like: we don’t need to deny anything, we just make the avg Joe dumb enough to not even care.
I don’t think you’re wrong, but again that’s not at all the same as totalitarianism. We can fight that with words, with education, with non-violence. It’s iterative, and we can course-correct as we progress into the future. It’s messy, and often goes in the wrong direction, but it’s still ours.
