Part 6/9:
Roman beautifully captures the essence of living in a repressive society through the metaphor of a "boiling frog." He explains that gradual encroachments on freedom can go unnoticed until it is too late. Reflecting on his teenage years, he notes the drastic changes that occurred over time—from a relatively free internet landscape to heavy-handed censorship and constant surveillance.
These changes progressed incrementally, often dismissed day by day, leading many to adapt rather than resist. It wasn’t until he looked back that the stark contrast became evident—a full transformation of societal norms and individual rights.
