1
00:00:00,538 --> 00:00:04,282
So how do people end up 
letting something like this happen?

2
00:00:04,507 --> 00:00:09,449
There are two different routes
by which people can allow this to happen.

3
00:00:09,469 --> 00:00:15,528
The first is that people believe
that the charges against someone,

4
00:00:15,548 --> 00:00:18,931
even a friend, or a family member,
or a fellow party member,

5
00:00:18,951 --> 00:00:21,972
who they were closely in line with before,

6
00:00:21,991 --> 00:00:23,684
must be guilty,

7
00:00:23,702 --> 00:00:28,079
because to believe that the charges 
against them are false

8
00:00:28,099 --> 00:00:31,010
would mean believing
that all the witnesses

9
00:00:31,028 --> 00:00:32,745
against the accused

10
00:00:32,764 --> 00:00:34,393
were coerced.

11
00:00:34,410 --> 00:00:37,268
That would mean believing
in a wild conspiracy theory

12
00:00:37,292 --> 00:00:42,441
or believing that your entire country 
is under the thumb of a dictator

13
00:00:42,461 --> 00:00:44,661
and is totalitarian already.

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,725
People don't want to believe this 
and don't think it's rational.

15
00:00:47,745 --> 00:00:50,946
People believe that the accused is guilty,

16
00:00:50,966 --> 00:00:53,050
because that's less
of a conspiracy theory.

17
00:00:53,070 --> 00:00:55,975
And then, on the other side,
you have sort of the opposite.

18
00:00:56,196 --> 00:00:58,354
You have people who realize

19
00:00:58,374 --> 00:01:01,187
that if they speak out
against the party line,

20
00:01:01,207 --> 00:01:03,837
if they say that the person is not guilty,

21
00:01:03,857 --> 00:01:06,243
that they will be in trouble.

22
00:01:06,263 --> 00:01:07,255
They're afraid.

23
00:01:07,275 --> 00:01:09,400
Either people believe it,

24
00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:12,040
because they don't want to believe
the conspiracy theory

25
00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:14,540
or they don't believe
that everyone is being coerced,

26
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,905
or they know that everyone 
is being coerced,

27
00:01:17,925 --> 00:01:20,645
and so they're afraid to speak out.

28
00:01:20,669 --> 00:01:23,381
