Facts always create problems for authoritarian regimes.
So they do everything they can do get rid of facts.
The primary reason they spread disinformation is not to get people to believe the nonsense (which is merely an occasional bonus), it is to get people to give up on finding the truth. Once people have no substantial quantity or quality of truth, they can be entirely manipulated.
This regime is following the standard path to authoritarianism.
- SanjayMehta 8mo agoThis regime is just following the same path openly. Give Trump some gold points for not being a hypocrite like all of his predecessors.
- rootlocus 8mo agoTruthSocial is the largest distributor of propaganda and fake news. That's pretty hypocritic.
- jimt1234 8mo agoNot sure I understand this comment. Trump deserves points for being transparent about his disdain for liberal democratic values? Not sure that's a flex. Hmmm.
