[[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Dolfy]] here in this passage is talking about me and my people, the Jews, as he likes to do. And he's saying the result of '''not''' fighting against the Jew is, quote, '[The Jews'] crown will be the funeral wreath of humanity. And this planet will, as it did millions of years ago, move through the ether devoid of men.' [[RealityBreakingParadox Tell me that doesn't sound similar.]] And as a result of that, we get this world of extreme conformity based around sacrifice, based around the same, once again, happens to be Nazi-esque ethic of 'hardness', where being able to commit horrific acts or stand by stoically while horrors are happening in front of you was considered a value in Hitler's Germany, [[MiseryBuildsCharacter that is what forges you into a strong, capable soldier for the cause]]."''

This was to be the German Millennium, from which [[{{Thoughtcrime}} even the imagination was to have no means of escape.]]''

Past the barbed-wire fence, Neom Community 1 unfolds in a series of [[StepfordSuburbia neat lawns and identical white homes]]. Each is about the size of a shipping container, identified by a series of letters and numbers—Block 15, C-83, for example. Meals are served in a central dining hall, and employees zip between buildings on electric scooters. The overall aesthetic might be described as a cross between a Google campus and a minimum-security prison, albeit one with a small population of children: Community 1 has a school, and some employees have moved their families in.''

->''Think about how many laws have to not exist in [[Film/TheTrumanShow that universe]] for this show to happen. It's apparently legal for a person or corporation to imprison a person, as long as you feed him. It's legal to film and record someone without his knowledge.

->''It is most likely [[StepfordSmiler the smiles]]. Maybe. Carnivore expressions, syrupy and gleaming, faultless mirrors of the Couturier's dazzling grin. Or maybe it is the second-rate souvenirs cobbled from haberdashery and children's nightmares. The arsenic aftertaste of the candyfloss, the wine-wild quality of the local perfumes. Could be anything. Could just be your insecurities, the error of your existence. Whatever the case, the Lanes continue their watch. Politely, of course.''
