- Regime control over thought is collapsing. Censorship was their last grasp to get it back, and Trump and Elon broke it. That last time this happened we had a fundamental shift of power from the elite to the people. These next years could be epic. Wall Street Mav
- I used to think we would never break this media dominance in our lifetime and it seems we have arrived thanks to courageous journalism through blogs, social media, the acquisition by Musk of the largest SM platform & Trump’s outspoken criticism of the corruption in the MSM. – Restore America
- I think this is true, but bear in mind that the censors have gotten more sophisticated as well. They can’t control the way they used to, but if they can’t censor, they suppress, and if they can’t suppress, they obfuscate or misdirect. Diligence is still the watchword of liberty. – Al Moroney
- Correct. Zoom out and I believe we are just going through the growing pains of change. The internet and corresponding technologies are disempowering legacy institutes of control, democratizing information, and shifting power dynamics. Interesting times to be living in. – Kevin McCabe
