This image is a good symbol for the state of the world in 2018: While many pretend things are great (stock-markets all time high, billionaires richer than ever, totalitarian leaders normalised, tech is the saviour! etc.) the fall into the abyss is in full swing.pic.twitter.com/e1iHbzrqGg
As an aside: A totalitarian leader is one who kills or imprisons all those that don't believe in him, and the normalization of that means that the vast majority of people and media are fine with that. Do you really live in North Korea?

Isn't the direct killing of "those that don't believe" a largely outdated practice, which was replaced after WW2 with gradual killing through social segmentation?

I can see where you are coming from, but I don’t think that is true. Impoverished parts of the population are not being killed off gradually, they often reproduce above average, and poverty is not necessarily the result of dissidence. Dissidents tend to do well in the West.
