These forms of control are surgically targeting conservatives and ignoring any and all misinformation that progressives spew, which makes trying to control the narrative at all even worse.
All they're doing is making political discussion impossible by attempting to control, rather than mediate. Makes one side feel angry, and the other feel righteous. Not a good mix.
But today, despite having more information available than ever, most people refuse to engage with it for some reason.
I have a feeling it has a lot to do with smartphones and over-use of the internet. There are so many sources of low-investment dopamine that lead to zero personal growth or long-term fulfillment, unlike 20+ years ago.
Attention spans have been nuked to mere seconds for the majority.
Not that it makes it any more right, but they're probably not wrong that most people are too stupid to govern themselves.
Most people are stupid, and there's no getting around that fact, regardless of which side of the narrative you're on.
Left or right most people don't read past the headlines anymore; nothing is ever verified, only accepted or rejected outright.
People aren't interested in knowledge anymore, only ideology.
I would challenge the assertion that anyone was ever interested in knowledge. The appearance of valuing knowledge, on the other hand...
That isn't what they're really saying though.
They're simply calling conservatives retarded and using that "fact" as an excuse to control the narrative.
I know that isn't really what they're saying.

Yeah, it wasn't always that way.
