[generally]

I wanted to add another point to your excellent post.

5. China. They have a non-police force to keep people in line. A “citizen force”. I believe this is what the liberals were working toward. It’s basically a system of snitches who report on any infractions by their neighbors. They also had (still have?) some sort of app with a system of “social credits”.

We see the beginnings of this with FB (follows, likes) and Twitter (follows, RTs). Next step, covid-19 trackers and snitches.

Fewer police are needed when the public is shamed, frightened, or coerced into conformity by the constant presence of Big Brother.

SOP in commie countries, Eastern Block, Russia, E. Germany, etc, all had that going.
