Michael Shellenberger- World on cusp of woke totalitarianism as governments act to end free speech
The Twitter Files gave us a window into how government agencies, civil society, and tech companies work together to censor social media users. Now, key nations are attempting to enshrine this coordination into law explicitly.
Around the world, politicians have either just passed or are on the cusp of passing sweeping new laws, which would allow governments to censor ordinary citizens on social media and other Internet platforms.

From Orwell’s 1984: “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever.”
Quite ironic that Orwell was against “totalitarianism” and for “democratic socialism”. Which in 1930s was something unknown, a dream.
Turns out that after one century of many tries, ALL forms of “democratic socialism” turn into nightmare, totalitarianism.
Ottawa Police are most happy to provide an example:

Every time you think Justin Trudeau can’t be worse, he proves he is the wannabe dictator we all fear he is.
“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.” – Alexander Solvhenitsyn
He got that right.
Where on Earth has this ever happened? Were the Soviets destroyed by “true terror”? The Nazis, the fascists, the Chicoms? The Catholics, the Moslems? Are the Progressives begging for mercy, today? History is full of examples of tyrants injecting their demands on everybody, and there are always plenty of followers and enforcers helping them. To see it today, you need only open your eyes.
Where on Earth has this ever happened?
Well, many of the leading American Founders and Framers were Freemasons and Deists; they did fight off the protestant tyranny from England (led by protestant German royalty and enforced by protestant Hessian mercenaries). The resulting republic wasn’t too bad for the first hundred years…(as long as you were white).
I’m not proud to admit it but I’m actually hoping the shots take out 80 or 90 percent of the population.
I’m sick of these parasitic sub humans.
F****** leave me alone.
F****** leave me alone.
That was the one song of Helen Reddy’s that I actually liked.
“”It’s clear now that military and intelligence community elites feared that populist nationalism would undermine their ability to control the news media in the ways they had since World War II. And so they funded think tanks like the Atlantic Council to run Woke campaigns demanding censorship.”
The wokeism cw the Marxist cultural wars is funded by America’s corporate elites and amplified by the media elites. The foot soldiers of the Marxist wing of the Democrat Party are their idiot tools.
It is so amusing that these useful idiots want Marxism, a.k.a. Communism, Facism, what have you. They are so ignorant of history that they never understand what they have done, even as they are first against the wall for lead catching practice, by those they empowered.
Free speech, freedom of movement?? we haven’t had that here in Canada for years….
It’s always the people ” in the shadows “.
But the cold civil world war grows ever warmer.
So how do you get to those dark king-makers?
You don’t.
But don’t worry. Even under the most rigid and oppressive censorship, you’ll always still be able to watch drug addicted runaways smash their genitals together.
None of this could have any affect if everyone stopped watching p0&n. Especially “conservatives”.
Thinking here.
To make a long story short.
An observation of the political class and very specifically the bureaucracy that will be called the swamp here on in, it being the muddy reservoir of those they call lawyers, those being defined as bottom feeders from here on in.
The elected politicians with the ever-helpful fellows swamp dwellers are doing away with the expressly defined rights and privileges of the working people written in constitutions, on daily basis.
One can exempt the constitution of Canada since it is a convoluted, nondeified hot air nonsense of the bottom feeders for the bottom feeders to enjoy lifetime of well paid employment in the service of the politicians, a kind of analogy to incest.
The political swamp as it is, is perhaps at minimum, 75%, very likely much more than that composed of the bottom feeders. In earlier times the lawyers were helpful, today they are 99% against everything, everywhere on both sides of everything and the syntax is designed to have an escape route from getting caught.
So, after establishing some minimal criteria, let us see what the deal is.
You will notice that at every level of government, school boards, town councils, provincial, state and federal governments are willfully proclaiming, not even legislating, regulations disguised as laws that are clearly, without reservation against constitution. One would think these acts to be unconstitutional.
What happens, once put into effect, knowing very well that they are unconstitutional, there is no way getting unyoked. One way is that people can vote for opposition the next time. Of course, by then, Bythen, sounds familiar?, the original idea will be forgotten, and the new batch of politicians will just go on with the flow, not disturbing the tranquility of nothingness unless they are forced to. As it always happens the bottom feeders get into their bullshit mode and play every argument into the out as though nothing happened. Who? Where? What? What three dollars?
The other thing, possibly much more important, is that to prove that unconstitutional conduct, you of course got to go to court. The bottom feeders are expansive. The plebeian has no money to get representation.
The unconstitutional shit gets abandoned because the mud of political and bureaucratic swamp having money they took away from the very plebeian to destroy him and him having none.
The constitution has become a magnificent decoration for future generations to wonder in awe on how to run a country, all the while it being presently destroyed, torn and burned without the plebeian ever knowing since the mass media cartel is working for the rulers.
… and here is how to handle the swamp. Note how the guy shuts up illegal yap of the “solicitor”.
Note that Campbell studied and knows whereof he is speaking.
This is for illustration of what a citizen has to go through to make constitution overrule the assorted mud of the swamp.
This is not to approve or disprove of anything other than the, what they call, the rule of law as aligned with the precise words of the constitution.
