The Censorship-Industrial Complex

Benjamin Weingarten;

If the woke regime felt that its reign was under threat, and believed itself justified (if not morally obligated) to defend itself, what wouldn’t it do to retain power?

It might seek to break, bankrupt, and jail its political opponents and those who would dare defend them via lawfare; obstruct justice for political “made men;” and delegitimize and destroy any institution that would dare stand in its way. That effort is already afoot.

Another line of attack might be to weaponize every public and private power center against those who would back its political opponents — demoralizing if not terrorizing the electorate into submission, or dividing it so it can more easily be conquered. That effort too has been humming along.

Still another line of attack might be to wage information warfare against the public in a bid to prevent it from fully understanding the nature and extent of, let alone discussing, the ruling regime’s depredations. It would do so not only by propagandizing via de facto regime media but by crippling alternative sources and prohibiting citizens from freely sharing news and views anathema to the ruling regime.

Grab a coffee.

  1. Fascism has already been established “democratically” from within and silencing opposition is a natural defense mechanism for those holding the weapons of the state. This isn’t a Canadian issue alone but one of the whole of western civilization and likely why the Islamic pathology is now expanding throughout their 1400 year old and now secular enemy.

  2. A lot of talk lately about “misinformation” and “disinformation” and to a news nut such as myself it almost seems coordinated. I personally think they have Elon Musk’s X in their sights and want it gone forever so they’re greasing the skids. If they ban TikTok… though it still has to get through the Senate it’ll be lights out, assuming TikTok can’t find a buyer or refuses to, everything will be fair game for the censors.
    Trudeau bootlicker Lawrence Martin’s “Excessive Free Speech” article did nothing to dissuade me.
    Ironically the smug prick is getting hammered on X. Good.

  3. Fascism it is.
    In fact.
    The industrial complex uses the power of layoffs, firings, dismissing, to control the plebeians.
    This is done by proxy, to circumvent the same done by the government.
    The industrial complex is just giddy with the power.

    The parallels to communist dicktat (sic) are uncanny.
    Been there, seen it, lived in it.

    Rush would say, ‘I know these people as every inch of my magnificent body’.
    Could say the same.

  4. -Butt on the rite side of things we need to bash gays, whine about abortions , bash muslims, protect the communist joos who are pushing communism, we need to do every thing but confront the real problem. And whining like hell should do it.
    Oh yah, don’t forget to bash the Chinese, they are all bad, don’t cha kno.

  5. The ruling elites, so they think, got drunk on power during Covid and they can’t let go. I’ll never cede my rights to any government or snivel servant again, never againnnnnnnnn.
