The thing is, how the fuck are normies supposed to know this is what is happening? I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t read your post, and I have to take all posts with a pretty healthy grain of salt. Who’s formally, believably reporting on things like this? We know nothing mainstream is.  It seems that if we want to live in a world with freedoms, we necessarily also need to live in a world with many uncertainties, since only draconian policy and exploitation of people and invasion of their privacy could ever hope to reduce uncertainty. We can’t know everything that happens, because to do so we would have to live in panopticon Hell. Some certain amount of faith does need to be place into our leaders.  The problem is that you cannot have the whole country put its faith in a leader if the entire system is set up such that only half the country at most will be in favour of the leader at any one moment.
