Americans think living in a socialist police state is normal, but freedom is not some textbook theory.
There are still some Americans alive today who will tell you that freedom is better.

WTF?
Americans say newspaper articles about tyranny are not relevant now.

Do the elites plan to wall off cities so that no one can escape?

I'm quite sure. My city actually did that, during our 200 day COVID lockdown.
Australia has long been a test-bed for things other Western governments are keen to try. We were the 0.1 Beta.
But Gaza is the 0.2. Imagine how our elites are gloating over a "15-minute city" whose electricity, water, fuel and food are centrally and externally controlled, and can be cut off at any time if the locals get uppity.
In preparation for Australia's return as 0.3, perhaps, gathering firewood on roadsides or other public land here now attracts a $5000 fine, natural gas connections are illegal for new homes, and solar inverters, new cars etc etc are grid-tied, internet-enabled, and backdoored. For safety. And there's a camera on everything.
I bought a farm. And its offgrid. But its going to suck for most people...

Allegedly you are not supposed to collect wood and bring it over long distances in at least some parts of the United States because it spreads tree damaging bugs but I do not think there should be any law against transporting wood from one part of your own property to another part of the same property without crossing other people's property lines
But there are plenty of laws that should not be

Grow some balls.
Americans think praising tyranny means that they will be safe from the police state, but no one is safe in a police state. Even dictators can be toppled.
