Propaganda
The powerful always uses propaganda to push the narrative and invade people's freedom. Here are some examples.
Language twist
The powerful is not content with just controlling the behaviors. They want to control language too. Language is power. By twisting the language and silencing people, the powerful is trying to control people's minds without any debate, until the only language left is violence.
For example, “antifa” deliberately framed its name as “anti+fascist” so it can easily attack any opponents as “fascist”. The “fascist” is very close to “communist”, same black+red color scheme, yearning for dictatorship and total control of personal lives.
Entertainment industry
- Hollywood has been pushing divisive content for a long time
- Smear a university professor as a villain (“red skull”) in Marvel for his views https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/apr/6/jordan-b-peterson-stunned-by-red-skull-hit-job-in-/
Political censorship
We are talking about the censorship because of a political view here.
“Hate speech is not free speech”
- By defining "hate speech", they effective censor all speech
Asserting that because individuals and groups are different, one cannot comment on a different group.
- E.g. “you don’t know how it’s like to have a baby” shuts all the comments about public policy about women from men
- E.g. Because one don’t have a medical degree, one cannot comment on public health measures
