I just don't understand how so many brains are locked into this narrative. Do I see too far one way through my lens? Sure. But to be on the polar opposite side arguing that conservatives in our nation are trying to "end freedom" is just so Twilight Zone.
I like Tom. I've followed him a long time because I think he's smart and adds interesting stuff to the commentary. Does a mind this intelligent truly believe in some alt-right force ready to usurp elections and end freedom? Or is it posturing? I cant help but conclude the latter.
The obvious other side of this coin is it ignores the team that is pushing needles and masks on people contrary to their will, taking this decision from parents, censoring voices that are discussing otherwise. All happening. But it's not that tension I was interested in here...
Again, this is a sophisticated mind bought into this re Tom above. And those are aplenty!
But look how hard and wicked this narrative is being driven down onto not-as-sophisticated minds as Tom's. Millions of them. I mean, it is just hideous!
I fear to think where this narrative takes us. The Truman Show has proven it can lead hordes off cliffs. Scumbags who once called themselves journalists have taken this as far as phrasing involving "Red Army" and of course our own government fancies "insurrection".
If you've been convinced the campaign against Rogan is genuinely about preventing "dangerous disinformation", you're not just gullible, you're an idiot.
That's not meant to be an insult, it's analysis. How does your mind square these two things alone?? 👇
It's not just the political landscape that is undergoing seismic change right now... it's the valuation of various forms of social-capital (and the people holding it) as well.
Everybody seemed to want "change"... well, I'd submit change has come!
I've realized that THE dividing line now (yes, the "teams") are those who will do what the govt mandates and consider scrutiny of the commands as a national security risk vs those who require clear support for the same and demand questioning/scrutiny.
A truly bizarre inversion.
Consider these threads below through that lens I described above. It makes this entire campaign (notably, one consuming a huge swath of those on the "center-left") so transparent and obvious, right?
☝️ This is what the entire campaign against Rogan is really all about, folks. It's not about "disinformation", it's a desperate attempt to RECAPTURE CONTROL of information... so they can get back to brainwashing our masses with their desired faux-reality.
