The same thing, Rap, only more so.

You see, the new fascists are so intent upon establishing much more subtle forms of slavery via mind-control and enforced conformity, that they must ensure that the more obvious types of historical slavery aren't even spoken of, except in a context that will push people's emotional buttons in the desired direction...that which supports a climate of fear.

A climate of fear enables the establishment of harsher laws, more restrictions on freedom, more dictatorship in the name of "collective security".
