Totalitarianism to him may not sound problematic at all, he never lived under it. And if you go into detail he will be thinking that "this is something that cannot happen here".
I have heard others suggest that under totalitarianism, which we are headed toward, the real nasty stuff happens when there is no more resistance to the narrative.
From this perspective, it is important to keep putting out the message so the resistance is still seen. I assume it's very important to do this in a non-annoying way.
