The difference is whether there’s any room outside the system to exist in, right? Can you jailbreak your implant? Can you live in a shitty illegal slum, or are they all carefully dispersed before they can begin?
It’s all about technologies of control. Ironically, the places seeing democratic backsliding are not the only or even the main ones developing and implementing them.
