INSIGHT

Centralized Power and Political Facade

Power centralization enables a global technocracy regardless of partisan politics.
Public apathy or disengagement allows the system's expansion despite bipartisanship appearing divisive.

ADVICE

Power of Public Resistance

Public assertion of disagreement weakens authoritarian measures.
Collective resistance can force policy rollbacks as seen during COVID restrictions.

ADVICE

Be Wary of Political Divisions
