Horrendous and disgusting. There are other words that come to mind too.
Regarding "fact checks" and related neologisms for gatekeepeing, I fondly remember a trick a techer taught me close to 35 years ago:
"If someone has to make a point of them being honest, like a used car salesman calling himself 'Honest Bob' or something similar, how honest can they be?"
It works like a charm with "fact checkers" too. As you amply demonstrate, none of the suspicions or fears of dr Nagase are checked. Only "facts" made up by the fact checker are discussed and subsequently knocked down. Like men of straw.
With that said, below is a short rundown of how life in a totalitarian state works:
Imagine the police, the prosecutor and the courts working like this: suspicion of crime equals proof of crime. Challenging the word of the court is the crime of wasting court resources.
So when you protest your innocence, you prove your guilt, since an innocent loyal law-abiding citizen would want to aid the police, yes? Only a criminal would stymie police work by being difficult, yes?
Are you going to be compliant, or a problem?
After all, it's for your own good.
And since the State is built on science, rational thought and right - anyone challenging the word of the State is anti-science, irrational, and wrong. These poor people must be cared for away from others so they don't spread their mental illness. They must be re-educated, rehabilitated and made fit to rejoin society. For the greater good.
Anyone actively opposing or resisting this is an agent of the enemy, evil or a traitor.
The question in a totalitarian state is not if you are loyal and compliant, it is:
An innocent law abiding citizen realizes quickly the cover up.and realizes the many factors that are involved that never hold people accountable. Case in point here a doctor is attacked for using a treatment that goes against the narrative so he is not a good Doctor so then he can't be believed on the miscarriages and stillbirths and then you have forces at work who can't have a vaccine failure causing harm so they quickly resort to fact checkers lying. Who pays the fact checkers. We all know who right.
Then we have government pay people to go through reports of crime and mischief or through social media to try and paint a narrative as well. For instance they need to get funds through lying about hate speech and online threats. They take something innocent and turn it into hate speech. The internet censorship bills are not legitimate. They will claim to be against hate speech but in reality they are designed to stifle exposes and opinions . They pay people to comb through posts and then say majority of people want crackdown on opinions that they don't like.. No people want crack down on abuse of government over reach illegal activities ethics breaches and no one ever held accountable for their actions. Case in point blame people for not wearing masks or travelling or not social distancing and send the police to ticket but you have pictures of them with no masks travelling and caring on like normal and all they do is apologize or blame others. No tickets for them. No loss of jobs but your firing people who refuse the vaccine. Even the police are engaged in firing their own who refuse the vaccine. That is against the Charter of Rights. That is abuse of power and breach of trust. They are not upholding the very foundation they are supposed to protect.
Yes they want to see if your loyal and compliant enough in a totalitarian state. If you are not you might turn against them and expose them. Now you have a third dose of this vaccine. You took the first two but will you succumb to a third or will you say. Enough is enough. Never in the plan. Something is not right. Cover up of adverse events. They never debate with other experts only their chosen narrative ones. That is communism at its finest. Yah a car salesman can be very dishonest.
Innocent people protest their innocence all the time. That's why wrongfully convicted have been exonerated. Because they never gave up and people came to their aid. The Justice system is not true justice if it takes so long to exonerate a wriongfully convicted individual.
