The groupthink. Lack of discussion, analysis, consideration.

You got most of it--but the true sign of totalitarianism is when the opinion-makers contradict themselves constantly and then demand conformity to their ever-changing official positions.

The purpose of that little exercise is to teach the plebes that thinking is evil and will be punished.
