I got a "refrigerator question" after #Silo TV series (You enjou a film but later get a "wait-what?" moment) It makes no sense for absolute tyranny to exist in a community of less than 10k people, struggling to survive in a hole. Why lie to people for hundreds of years yet the truth increases chances or survival?
Is tyranny just an overused trope in dystopias for story conflict, or is this how the system makes us tolerate the bad governments of today?
While I enjoyed the show as well I also missed more visible signs of how they create cohesion in this society (flag waving, folk tales, customs, parades…).
I have heard that the books go into more detail about how the people are kept docile than what was shown in season 1 of the show. So we might learn more about that.
