Article is auto-translated.

tl;dr: The head of the Swiss media group Ringier ordered the group's editors to only report in line with the government course. Which is particularly suspicious because Switzerland is about to vote on a big media subsidy package which would hugely benefit Ringier.

This shit is happening in every Western country and it's going to greatly speed up the destruction of society.

The television has only been mainstream for roughly 75 years. The internet for 25 years. We aren't even close to the end game for controlling society via the media and "private" corporations, which is a scary thought when you look at what's been happening with Covid.

If Twitter exists in 50 years, what will it look like? You'll probably only be able to comment using pre written messages that were approved by The Party.

The more we move into the 30s, the more it looks like nazi Germany in the 30s. WTF!? I thought people has learned about government control, censorship and all those things in the media by now doesn't work... but nope!

Yep. It seems to be working flawlessly. People lose interest or they forget.

If that's the case, I hate that I'll probably be too old to be of much use when SHTF in the 40s.

And here's how gradually things got worse as the nazis went on. Censorship, attacks, dehumanizing and more.

Personally, I very much doubt “current society” lasts that long, so… You should be “ok”, in that regard… 😑

But who knows? I’m a pessimist, at least re this, so... 🤷🏻‍♂️

I wish it looked like Nazi Germany in the 30s.

Instead it looks like the Weimar Republic in the 20s.
