Real revolution is ultimately a fight against psychological compartmentalization on a mass scale. The empire works constantly to keep people from thinking about the horrors of war, the dynamics of true power, etc, while the clear-eyed rebel fights to bring it all into the light.
This is why whistleblowers and those who publish their revelations are made Enemy #1 by establishment power structures. It's in the people's interest that things be brought into the light and it's in the empire's interest that they be kept in the dark.
We saw this dynamic really come to a head with the 2016 Clinton campaign, with pundits openly proclaiming that media outlets shouldn't report facts which hurt Hillary's chances and saying "We need you to BE QUIET!" to those talking about her corruption.
This is why I talk so much about the need for relentlessly honest inner work on this path: it's all one inseparable fight, from the things the empire fights to keep in the dark right down to the parts of yourself you avoid looking at and making conscious.
