Well, in our real-life nightmare tale, those same citizens (these are American) are working in collusion with the government, only these are under the guise of the corporate citizen. In this capacity, most normal humans don't think of what they are doing as bad for anyone. They only think of their work as being good--good for themselves, mainly. They don't consider what happens once their work (or the effects of their work) go beyond their eyeshot.
Like the fine folks of Coca-Cola who's factory in a small village in India robbed the locals of their water supply ( [http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=7508|source] ).
Or the New Jersey company Sarnoff that, according to [http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/08/sarnoff-wants-to-scan-your-iris-without-your-knowledge/|a February 8, 2007 post] at Engadget.com, want to perfect technology that will scan your iris without you even noticing. Here's a cutting from the post:
recently filed a patent application that spells out a snazzy method of quickly photographing a helpless individual's facial region multiple times in order to (hopefully) capture one solid look at the iris. This newfangled manner of jacking biometrics from clueless pedestrians is actually being requested by the American government, as it apparently hopes to use it to run constant background checks with the information on file in order to peg a threat as they're strolling through.
So, there's the collusion-with-government part in there, too.
Whatever happened to living in a country where you aren't being watched, judged, and sentenced when you walk to the fricken corner store?
Doesn't anyone want to live freely? You know, without the constant need/urge to defend yourself and your patriotism? .
