Scenarios about 'political repression'
Political repression refers to the systematic suppression of political opposition, dissent, and civil liberties by governments to maintain power and control. Throughout history, regimes have employed tactics including censorship, surveillance, arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial killings to silence critics and prevent challenges to authority. In alternate history scenarios, different patterns of political repression often serve as critical divergence points, reshaping societies and determining whether authoritarian systems endure or democratic movements prevail.
