Great read! Having spent time visiting my family in Czechoslovakia under the communists, I can relate to the comparison with those conditions. There certainly is a parallel to the "go-along" attitude that the oppressed people adopted to a greater or lesser degree. Some just kept quiet to survive, while others actively engaged in supporting the regime and truly thrived. Political correctness and its tyranny of thought are less threatening than a totalitarian regime, but they are reminiscent of some aspects of it.

That's probably true, but the people responsible for it will impose totalitarianism on us, given the chance.
