CANCEL CULTURE, OFFICIAL “TRUTHS” & THE DEATH OF DISSENT

Do you think you have the right to an opinion?

Maybe so. But do you have a right to express it?

You probably do... so far and so long as few others read or hear it.

What if you become quite popular however and your audience grows?

What if you come to the attention of western elite entities such as social media owners, the intelligence agencies of western governments or those who work in mainstream media editing suites?

What then?

Are you confident you won’t be cancelled?

Currently you may only merit suspension of your Twitter account or Facebook page perhaps.

Or, if you have your own YouTube channel and have a high number of subscribers you may find yourself demonetized.

In any event, if you achieve sufficient popularity to be considered dangerous to any official narratives you will certainly find yourself a center of attention for criticism at the very least. And without doubt you will be aghast at some of the methods, skewed logic, misinformation and downright lies used to silence you. Even so... YOU will be accused as the one spreading ‘Fake News’, never those saying whatever they can cook up to bring you down.

Do you see the way things are going? The direction of travel?

We are moving ever faster toward official narratives in the West, those channeled from the West’s politicians through the West’s mass media to the West’s population, as being the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

And where does that leave you if you see things differently and criticize these official narratives?

Where does that leave you, a dissident voice with followers believing in you, when the official version has been officially designated as ‘THE TRUTH’.

It makes you a liar, a traitor to your country, a likely foreign agent, a malcontent seeking to undermine western democracy, an evil force undermining official entities such as the government, the military, NATO and every single person employed by any of the above and all entities working for them.

It makes you a criminal. Possibly a spy. And most certainly, a target.

Are you ready for this?

Western elites are in a state of abject terror, they see their centuries long patrician dominance being swept away by China and are becoming increasingly desperate, especially so after the pandemic has made this situation so very much worse for them.

Cancel Culture was only the start.

The war mode western elites are now entering at deeper and deeper levels means they won’t allow dissent that garners too much support for very much longer. The signs of this shift to draconian censorship are already here and each passing day signals another step to a liberal totalitarianism leading to an Ice Cold War and by degrees to a permanently divided world.

 Are you a present or future target? Are you ready to be targeted, mocked and criminalized? Will you be strong enough to withstand being called a traitor for expressing a view that calls into question an official narrative in a time of war?

Where will your loyalties lie when your government says all citizens must join the fight against named enemies and there can be no refusal without some form of punishment? 

Will dissent die within you then?
