The first step to fixing a problem is to recognize the source of it. Others will say "banks", "federal government", etc, etc, but it boils down to, none of these can *maintain* their control without the media. The media are both firewall and supporting column. They go down, all the other groups are exposed. Replacement isn't sufficient either, because they're transitioning to a soft-power model of simply *disappearing* opinions (via manual and algorithmic censorship) the state doesn't like, making opinions and ideas that are inconvenient appear simply not to spread. People see the leftward motion, see no obvious signs of censorship (that they haven't been reflexively trained to see as normal), and assume this is simply the direction society wants or demands. It is the most silent and insidious form of subversion yet. We are moving from the age of the hypercensor to the social architect, where rather than having journalists, we will have "social influencers" as the *primary* source of opinions ideas and news. Have the wrong 'opinions'? Your follower count doesn't seem to grow as fast, or at all. Share the wrong 'news'? Your reshares/likes dont grow like you expect them to, or accrue at all. And so on, until everyone simply assumes things are the way they are because thats how they are. And it is illegal to talk about solutions, even *legal* solutions. Oh I mean, you can talk, but if you start anything viable, and against inertia, manage to grow anything, the state and silicon valley, and the ADL, and a host of others will go out of the way to 1. shut you down 2. get your permits removed for protest/business/professional licenses/even firearms 3. show up at your home or business and destroy it, grafitti it, or burn it 4. randomly call in death threats 5. refuse you bank service and get your bank accounts and other accounts shut down 6. use lawfare to harass you 7. run media, news, and social media campaigns to destroy your reputation 8. weaponize the government against you. We effectively have no representation any more. At all. full stop. No representation in society. No peaceable means of redress. No fair and equal enforcement of the law, no protection from lawlessness, and no voice in society. at all. I see of no reason to obey anything the state wants or demands any more. Its all unelected officials and corrupt politicians and petty bureaucrats waving guns in peoples faces all day and blasting out blatant propaganda 24/7 from what amounts to mouthpieces for foreign powers and communists union members in the nsa/cia/fbi/police unions.
