Ben Weingarten: The US Government Is Funding Foreign Entities Which In Turn Censor American CitizensThe old CIA trick of getting foreign governments and organizations to do what they are technically forbidden to do themselves. I say "technically" because they're not actually forbidden to spy on US citizens or use their government power to strip US citizens of their free speech rights. They do it every single day. They just pay foreign cut-outs to undertake these unconstitutional, treasonous actions for them. I mean, the law really should forbid this, but "the government of the people" has decided that our secret police are duly authorize to conspire with foreign secret police to strip us all of our rights. On the eve of a highly-anticipated live X "Spaces" conversation between Elon Musk and former president Donald Trump, the powerful European Union Commissioner Thierry Breton warned in August that authorities would be "monitoring" the conversation for "content that may incite violence, hate, and racism."
...
And isn't that the most important thing in a supposedly-free democracy? That our government works with foreign intelligence services to coerce us into "alignment" with our foreign overseers? Look, I can't tell you to read the whole thing, or at least give it good skim. What I can tell you is that if you don't, this is you. This is what you are: You like that, cuz? You like being a Jive Turkey?
WE IGNORE LAWS. It's what America does. With this in mind, our government has moved past censorship to the larger project of changing the American personality. They want a more obedient, timorous, fearful citizen. Their tool is the Internet, a vast machine for doling out reward and punishment through likes and views, shaming or deamplification. The mechanics are complicated but the core concept is simple: you're upranked for accepting authority, downranked for questioning it, with questions of any kind increasingly viewed as a form of disinformation. My pants just got tight. Does that make me gay?
Those patches are snatched. Yeah I'm gay.
More at the link. He passes from rhetoric to tracing the birth and death of free speech.
