I mean, there are if you’re „arian“, not disabled or otherwise made a target and don’t get snitched on by your neighbors.

In that case you can live like a „free“ person while people around you „disappear“ which would not freak you out at all. (/s)

You are not actually free though because if you openly criticize anything, you disappear as well.

I suppose the common theme is „murderous authoritarianism“.
