Scary.
Neighbors ratting out neighbors. We are close enough.
I don’t see it as communist vs facist, vs democracy, etc. I see it as tyranny.
In a sane world, Karens don’t have that much power. They can rat you out, but nobody cares. Where it becomes a problem is when what they are ratting you out for should not be a violation of anything.
I was in costco and they now require masks. So I’m in front of the prepared meats area (employees behind the glass putting together salads and stuff). I called my wife and pulled down the mask to talk to her. I hear a banging on the glass and turn around to see one of them pointing at my mask. I pointed at my phone. She pointed at my mask again and I just waved her off and turned my back on her.
Communism is where the state owns everything and there is no concept of private ownership. That’s really a different thing.

Yep. I’ve known Iranians here over the decades afraid to go home both for fear they wouldn’t be allowed to leave again—and also uncomfortable with the environment in which you never know what friends or neighbors might be snitching for expressing anything other than support for the government.
