The claim that the censorship industry is funded by big tech, the West’s security state, and politically-active billionairres like George Sorros is no "conspiracy theory" -- it's just fact.
This newly minted, self-proclaimed "disinformation" expertise, claims to have the right to decide what is true and what is false. The purpose? To not only justify censorship, but to make it morally necessary as they simultaneously work to sieze upon every crisis as an opportunity to further galvanize their ideologically-aligned base.
This country has become an "us versus them," "pro or anti" society of people who have drastically lost touch with nuance and the fact that there is a whole spectrum of stances in between "this" and "the others."
