[Wake-up!]

"We've been so busy watching out for the next overtly totalitarian dictatorship that wants to put the jackboot on our necks we never noticed the covert totalitarians sliding the shackles around our minds.
Everyone thinks about the abusers who beat their spouses, but not the abusers who dominate their spouses' minds with psychological manipulation.
A wife who's been psychologically dominated into doing everything her husband wants doesn't notice she's being abused, because she isn't being beaten into doing those things; she thinks she's doing what she wants to do.
A population that's been psychologically dominated into doing everything the powerful want doesn't notice that it is being tyrannized, because it isn't being forced to do those things at gunpoint; people think they are doing what they want to do."
