That's old news. Once fear spreads, people do whatever is needed to survive. That's why Holowka was thrown under the bus by his own colleagues and ended killing himself a couple of weeks ago when Zoe Quinn accused him.

It's the same pattern that has happened before and will happen again. When people wonder 'how that could have happened back then?', well, we're living that now.

We have the idea that totalitarian regimes are some kind of violent ones, because that's how movies portray them. But they portray that way because that's how you make a movie thrilling. Actually, they can be very peaceful. When people are really afraid, they don't even dare to say they're afraid. They do whatever they can to look 'normal', so they're not the next one to be hunted down. Or fired. Or blacklisted. Right now you don't need to threaten dissidents with jail, everything is connected nowadays, you can just threaten them with homelessness.
