Propaganda, Censorship and Repetition. It's Been Planned For Years,*The Sheep Still Sleep*

We have seen the nudge unit in the UK, the covert and overt efforts of governments all around the world to make only one message the right message regardless of its accuracy or completeness. The Twitter files, the Youtube takedowns, shadow-banning and algorithmic shenanigans on social media and search engines. We are told or cajoled, not with fact and reason, but with propaganda, censorship and repetition. Our controllers cannot say what they want to say as it would be unpalatable to us but I worry that we too, increasingly, do not say what we want to say, in part because it’s unpalatable to our controllers but, more worryingly, in part because its unpalatable to us. Nudge, nudge, know what I mean?
