They are conditioning us to blindly obey them, and accept a totalitarian government. At least trying to, in my case, that will never happen.

Maybe you won't blindly obey, which is good. But you're still going to be stymied when others you'd interact with blindly obey. Want to buy some landscaping supplies? Well, someone has to sell it to you.

Who knows, maybe we'll see new types of black markets.

Yeah, in a situation like that, black markets will spontaneously spring up. Initially, the government might have the upper hand, but I'm confident the tide will turn against them when enough people realize that the time to be passive is long gone. When I think about that time, I always flash back to the scenes from The Terminator, when the resistance is fighting Skynet. Mankind's inherent need for freedom will never be eliminated, no matter the odds or circumstances.
