I met activists on the front lines

I just got back from 2 weeks in Europe meeting with activists from some of the world's most oppressive regimes, who are fighting for freedom. What I heard there shook me.When you talk to people who have lived under dictatorship, you start to notice uncomfortable parallels to what's happening in the West right now. The surveillance creep. The ID mandates. The slow erosion of the right to communicate, transact, and move through the world privately.These are red flags that those under tyranny wish someone had pointed out to them sooner.0:00 – Pay Attention to the Warning Signs0:45 – Growing Up Under Military Rule1:21 – "What Propaganda Am I Not Seeing?"1:33 – The Titanic Analogy2:51 – Dictatorship Is Engineered Compliance3:42 – How the Internet Became a Tool of Control5:44 – The Surveillance State Is the Red Flag6:59 – If Someone Wants Power, They Now Have the Tools7:09 – Jailed for Donating to the Resistance7:33 – "It's for the Children" — Recognizing the Propaganda8:24 – We Can Still Fight Back.

Boats left half empty.We still have time to get in the lifeboats.
