Propaganda Restricts Speech More Than Censorship Does. The biggest impediment to free speech is people’s belief that they have it.

Excerpt:
"In our civilization most people are thinking, speaking, gathering information, working, shopping, moving and voting exactly as our rulers want them to, because these mass-scale psychological conditioning systems have been imposed to keep human behavior aligned with the empire. We are trained to believe we are free while behaving exactly how our rulers want us to behave, and to look down on other nations and shake our heads at how unfree their people are.

What the average mainstream partisan really means when they say they want “free speech” is they want to be able to regurgitate the power-serving narratives that were put in their mind by the powerful. That’s not free speech, it’s deeply enslaved speech. But they can’t see it. By design."

    Knowledge is power. If you can keep someone from finding the truth, you can prevent them from rebelling against your lies. If you are a friend of freedom and truth, knowledge only frees everyone you spread it to, which is why those who support freedom are happy and eager to share information.

    I agree with most of her comments. I do believe we have been manipulated and herded in to groups that hate each other, to distract us from the real problems. But not with the statement near the end, "capitalist culture is brain poison". Capitalism is not to blame for what is happening. Capitalism controlled by the government is.
