A big part of the "Great Reset" is its orchestrated campaign to condition people into believing they have no natural rights separate from and paramount to the mandates of government. Most neoliberal nations no longer talk about the global ideological struggle once pitting "free" and "controlled" states against each other. Why? Because that distinction makes little sense when Australia is hunting down citizens for fleeing its quarantine concentration camps and Finland is putting Christianity on trial. I'm trying to remember...who won the Cold War again?
Instead of admitting that they are waging war against free speech, Western governments claim that they are protecting their people by censoring "misinformation" that might cause social harm or "disinformation" that might be coming from Russia or China. It's for your own good to let political bureaucrats first determine what arguments people may consider and which ideas should be quickly stricken from the public conversation. People with power, you see, are naturally endowed with extra genetic abilities that allow them to distinguish fact from fiction, and they can always be trusted to monitor "misinformation" with such impartiality and acumen that political calculation never remotely interferes with their benevolent duty to censor only what is "bad." Hillary Clinton calls it necessary "gatekeeping" to protect the masses from seeing and thinking scary things, and that woman is a paragon of truth and virtue, so she must have our best interest at heart. Of course Western governments believe in free speech, so long as that speech has been officially inspected, prodded, and approved by political committee. It's perfectly normal for freedom to feel like a colonoscopy.
Sure, you can practice your faith, engage in commerce to make a living, and associate with like-minded citizens to protest the policies of your government.
