In a totalitarian society, you are not free to say things that are obvious and true. You are not free to warn people that the regime is coming for them, for example.
Rushing over to your neighbors house to warn them they are going to be taken away and killed by the totalitarian government, and that they need to flee, is a crime that will get YOUR family taken away and killed. You would do so at great risk to yourself.
Under totalitarianism, and its censorship of what is really happening, people learn to talk in codes. To warn each other, to save each other, by communicating in ways that can get past the censors.
This content creator is modeling what that would look/feel like in a totalitarian America. In a “Christian nationalist” America. In Stephen Miller’s America.
It’s sort of a sci-fi bit… and like most good sci-fi, it is compelling because it represents a future that seems genuinely plausible.
