    Ah, so you’re not advocating for a crackdown in opposition in the case of a hypothetical war with Russia, you are instead insinuating that there is a plan to do that. Do you have any evidence?

      Just the changing laws that allow the governments to easily surveil the citizens and block their access to online platforms. We don’t need it now, why else but for war do we need it in the future?

          They already have controlled them to the extend necessary. Why risk all by playing with the values that are supposed to be the foundation of our societies?

            They don’t. There are still regulations, particularly in Europe, that restrict what corporations can do. Many countries have strong unions and labour rights such as France, Belgium and Scandinavian countries. Activists document what the powerful do and organise protests against them. Contrast that with actual totalitarian regimes such as China and what the US is turning into.
