Totalitarian? I'm not quite sure you understand because I don't feel excessively oppressed living here. We're also not leftist - socially centrist with right-leaning economics. Yes, politically we are rather boring and there's little variation; surely that's better than uprisings and stuff upsetting everything we're currently trying to sort out? Our politics don't revolve around God, abortion and homosexuals either, so drop the s**t about "what we don't want to become".
