    It's a gamble I'm outwardly not willing to take. I'll be incredibly smug about it if we're all right and, I dunno, tomorrow the camps close because the last extremist has been re-educated and a search for graves turns up like... one guy who died of natural causes during the whole thing. But if I'm wrong? That's a lot of social capital to spend on that gamble.

      As far as I'm aware, all the schools have closed over a year ago. There hasn't been any new terrorist attacks, and the deradicalization programs have been considered to be a success.

      I get the hesitation, but the idea of mass tyrannical detainments in concentration camps just doesn't make sense. Primarily because that kind of extreme government repression would only create more radicalization which would result in more terrorist attacks and increasing sympathy for a separatist movement, but instead we see the opposite happen.
