The heads of the social media are mostly committed leftists, and were very eager to use their resources to help the government identify dissenters and to silence them.
The government didn’t need to pay the heads a visit, but did anyway. Now the social media are de facto arms of the government, recording what we post, what we send in a “private” message, who we associate with and other information that a fascistic repressive regime can use to locate anyone who doesn’t bow down and profess adoration for the official party line.
George Orwell would be surprised that the regime has progressed so far into totalitarianism.
It’s infuriating and scary. The Left, whether they be socialists, communists or what it seems to be headed for, Fasicm, control pretty much every institution. That happened because they gained control of higher edu and some primary edu decades ago.
Most all these leftists went to a university and more importantly, with the goal of getting into government or EDU or business leadership. Places of power.
MSM, EDU, City gov, Fedgov, entertainment, every Euro country and most global corporations or at least the leadership/CEO etc.
2 million in fedgov and it’s agencies and 95% or more are hard core Leftists.
Many times I think we’re past the point of no return.
When all is said and done, we’ll just keep voting and pretend it matters.
