Yes.

In fact, my 7th grade history teacher rolled out the TV during class and made us watch a recording of it. He warned us how fast it could happen.

Most of the class thought it was unfathomable, and assumed we'd always be free, and that that stuff could only happen under communism.

Im forever grateful to him because I listened. Changed my life, to be honest.

I just didn't really know it until the scamdemic.
