I agree, I think the big question is going to be is how much of a drop in living standards people will be willing to swallow. Every state is ultimately a social contract, and the legitimacy of the state depends on people believing that the contract is fundamentally fair. I’d argue we’re already seeing a collapse of faith in the system in the west, and that’s precisely why there is now push to ban media, do things like chat control and age verification. People are starting to speak out against the system and the ruling class feels vulnerable. The more they push their own people off the cliff the more opposition to the state will grow.
