People who live in condo committees are PRIMED for fascism
Advertisements [?]
My parents are friends with a couple where the wife's "job" is to be sure that the trashcans in her condo are the correct size, shape and color -- the wrong shade of tan is a write-up offense. I was visiting my friend's gated community (not a condo) and I got a WARNING TICKET for parking in the street for ONE NIGHT, which is against community standards (I got in late, and didn't want to park in their driveway and trap one of them in their garage the next morning). I've seen where in the newspaper where people have been fined for flying American or other flags.

I've read interviews with people from places like Russia, and they're stunned at how submissive Americans are to intrusiveness of Condo Committees - how many freedoms Americans will give up in pursuit of "maintaining property values".Whether it's your own choice to submit to this or not, I just think this whole mindset of total absolute obedience is priming people to accept things like the Patriot Act or the government listening in on their phone calls.
