Lockdown v1 proved that "absurdly obviously murderously insane" wasn't enough to wake people up and unify the masses, so I guess it has to be something "less subtle" next time for Lockdown v2.
Your point may prove to be very interesting. The awakened ones will be in greater volume, thankfully, which also means those left will be backed in a corner and double-down with their vitriol. They will unknowingly be puppets hanging on their last thread about to snap and will do the cabal’s bidding with fear disguised as self-righteous glee. We must be mentally ready and wearing our armor. We cannot back down.
