If it was incorrect I would say so. It is naive because it can only come from an idealistic worldview that has nothing to do with reality.
> Any government that is doing these things does not represent we the people.
It barely ever did and it certainly does not now.
> the government appears to really wish to control our narrative.
As if there ever existed one that did not want to.
- jessaustin 8y agoMy reading is that of a response to that "idealistic worldview" (not actually idealistic, but rather cynical enough to pretend so). People say stupid shit like "elections mean that the government is controlled by the people" all the time, even here on HN where many people are fairly intelligent and also mostly honest. Clear evidence to the contrary doesn't always make it through the media filter, so I don't see the harm in highlighting that evidence.
