Until those willing to stand up and fight build up into a critical mass, every individual is at risk of being disappeared by the thought police. So until then, there is a good reason to be scared.

Maybe it's worth buying a gun and learning how to use it so that, if they come for you, you at least get to kill a fascist.

This could be the only thing that would deter them.
