Originally shared by eWhy - TechIf I were a government that wanted to secure greater totalitarian control over my population, in today's social climate... How would I do it?
Oh, yes. I would allow a flood of ''refugees'' into my country, without proper regulations... betting on the chance that a high enough percentage are violent terrorist types.
Then, in the ensuing panic of my population, due to the massive uptick in violent terrorist activities (which I was betting on)... I will use "safety" as my cover for enacting new fascist laws, completely omnipresent monitoring of citizens, and military force on my own streets.
Because we all know that a scared population will do ANYTHING, if you guarantee them: safety and prosperity.
That's how Hitler was elected into power. That's how Mao Ze Deng took over. Etc... It's the easiest "in" for Totalitarianism.

Americans... keep your eyes peeled. Because the same thing will happen, after the elections.
1. Huge influx of 'refugees', more than just a few of them violent.
2. Massive increase in crime, and terrorist actions.
3. Government wants to tighten its grip on citizens, in the name of "safety".
