Surprising no one, leaks show Google teams see the garden variety right as nazis and are laboring to stop the issues it raises even from being broached.

Wokies controlling tech do not want Americans talking or thinking about foundational political and anthropological matters.

An internet where the basics of our political, human, and American identity can’t be mentioned, much less discussed, is hostile by design to our form of government and the theory of justice underpinning our regime.

For such an internet to also be the country’s biggest money-making machine raises dire questions about what its masters are doing to citizenship and representative government, and exactly how far they wish to go

I’m fairly convinced the good news is their game plan is a delusional fantasy the American people have already instinctively rejected due to digital tech making us perceive that the pre-digital elite is obsolete. But it’s appropriate to be clear on what’s happening and why.

Talk of neutrality is sadly farcical in an environment where people who see the rainbow flag as a far better symbol of justice than the American flag are hellbent in a panic on forcing online users to join in their fantasies instead of reckoning together with bedrock reality.

They will not leave your feed alone. They will not leave your private chat alone. They will not leave muh norms alone. They know their rule is in existential crisis, and they see the core questions and answers in Western thought as corrupt files to be quarantined and deleted.

But in the key respect the conflict is already over. The best response to their panic is not a counter-panic. The more they strain to win the more the mask slips. Good political leadership just needs to catch up to latent popular judgment.
