the roadblocks that prevented peasants from seeking work or food;
the harsh rules of the blacklists imposed on farms and villages;
the restrictions on barter and trade;
and the vicious propaganda campaign designed to persuade Ukrainians to watch, unmoved, as their neighbors died of hunger."

It’s the next level of services designed to help the denizens of dystopia avoid their feelings and sedate their emotions into a coma while the world [self-destructs].
Our rulers want us dumb, distracted, vapid and dissociated. And they definitely don’t want us feeling the horror, grief and rage we should all be experiencing in response to this nightmare of a civilization they have designed for us.
