everyone has family, but when you look back how many good memories will you actually have when you've been oppressed and brainwashed since birth?
when you're literally about to die it's not like your brain automatically has these good memories queued up for b-roll. the more good memories you have, the more likely you will remember something good. at least that's how it was for me. after my NDE I found I focused on the memories I expected to remember after the threat was gone but had little to no memories of good things just before. honestly the only memory I remember having was witnessing a man turn into hamburger and thinking the man was myself.
You'd be surprised. Being oppressed by your government typically causes an increase in communal mindsets. Family & friends become closer and more valuable. We've seen this in East Germany or under the Soviet regime in eastern Europe for example as well. People lived poorer and with less rights, but this necessitated them to work more closely with the people around them and consequently became more tight knitted. You can go watch some documentaries of NK on the inside. They aren't getting whipped the whole day long to work.
