It’s important that governments be able to quash all dissenting voices. You know...for “democracy”.

I haven't used Telegram in a while but in early 2021, during the post J6 days, I opened an account there because it was one of the few places besides maybe Gab and Parler, where I could get real, uncensored news at that time.

At that time, most of the other platforms like Twitter and Facebook were controlled by the establishment and pro-Trump accounts (as well as Trump himself) were banned and silenced.

It wasn't until Trump started Truth Social and Elon Musk purchased Twitter (turning it into X) that the censorship tide began to abate somewhat.

I would be very worried about being targeted as a user.

China certainly now breathes easier. The West is adopting the same totalitarian control over the Internet that China has always imposed.

With control over communication comes control over people.

Kamunism is what the pedoglobalists dangle as a carrot to all the leftards to convince them to support their accumulation of power, but what they are delivering is that other flavor of socialism - fascism.

Actually they aren’t. The former soviet union is mostly NOT communist now.

As Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said in his recent speech endorsing former President Donald Trump, “governments and oppressors don’t censor lies, they don’t fear lies. They fear the truth, and that’s what they censor.”

Hear, hear!

LOL. The guy was anti-Putin for many years, but never got arrested by Russia

Now, he won’t give Western Govts info on his platform’s users - and they arrest him.

We’ve out-Putined Putin, and out Nazi’ed the Nazis.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. insightfully said, endorsing President Donald Trump, “governments and
oppressors don’t censor lies, they don’t fear lies. They fear the truth, that’s what they censor.”

The short answer is that the democratic states have been taken over by administrative bureaucracies

***********

Imagine what's in store for us if Harris gets elected. Conservatives will be ruthlessly silenced and persecuted so as to solidify power in the permanent bureaucracy. Its imperative that Trump win this election. And even then, there will be fierce resistance to him. Its going to be a battle royale.

I agree.

We all need to be ready for the hell that’s going to be unleashed by the left whatever the outcome.
