42. Unfortunately the citizens are so brainwashed and afraid that that is unlikely to happen

Those who do not agree with the government are unlikely to reach out to others for fear of being turned in...it's not just their lives they put in jeopardy, it is their entire family.

I am reminded of a documentary about a boy who was born in a work camp. His brother was going to try to escape and his mother knew about it. He talked to his teacher about it, because they are taught that loyalty is to the dear leader and not to family. Then watched his mother and brother hang. He is a very scarred young man, even after escaping.
