Sadly this is all too true. People are only too willing to accept more and more restrictions in their lives, more laws, more enforcement measures. It's an ongoing process of gradual oppression, of which most appear oblivious. It's the age old case of bread and circuses, keep the unwashed masses amused, so they do not focus on their lack of freedom. But watch out, say anything against this system and you're in for a brow beating.

Reminds me of a poignant quote from Desmond Tutu:

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

Not implying a comparison to SH5 mind you, but still thought provoking nonetheless...

Similarly this quote by Thomas Jefferson:

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
