Snark aside, the increasing reliance on overt censorship and naked physical repression in the West can be viewed as one of two things - either as an oligarchy that is increasingly willing to drop the pretense of democracy in favor of open sociopathy, or as a sign of an oligarchy that lacks confidence, a sign of of weakness and not strength.

I got the Klarenberg treatment 15 years ago for merely taking photographs of hugely polluting oil refineries and chemical plants along the Delaware River and nearby schools and day care centers.

It was followed up 3 days later by a home visit and more interrogation by FBI, Homeland Security, and Hunterdon County NJ Prosecutors Office investigators. USA! USA! USA!
