Powerfully rich people, paying to push certain narratives and taking steps to silence others through the control of information. To "safeguard" democracy??? I guess the true meaning of Democracy is "A voice for everyone, except if you go against the establishment." Unless you can refute that that's not what happened???
And, I don't have a side. I am against propaganda, period. If you know something is "off" in your gut, but can't figure out what it is with your head (and the information they are feeding you), then you're under the influence of propaganda. The feeling in your gut makes you mobilize (you know something needs to be done) but the confusion in your head prevents you from taking action yourself (so you'll do what you're told). Maoist programming simplified.
