I'm not sure that's completely accurate. I think there's always been the rat race and hoops you have to jump through, and people had figured out it was the best strategy for them to hold their noses, get through the necessary bullshit as fast as possible, then live their lives in a way that they'll be left alone the most.
I think that he problem now is more like TPTB have ratcheted up the necessary to mandates and made it more pervasive at all stages of a person's life. The holding your nose period (masks?) has gotten so long it isn't a viable strategy anymore. People have to come up with a consensus of a viable alternative now, and that is just going to take time.
If there's a loyal military, then their task now is to hold the fort until the process plays itself out and the people decide on a new normal, on their terms.
That's what the DS is afraid of. The people realizing the conspiracy theories were actually conspiracies, and not theories.
