Defending Freedom And Democracy Sure Requires An Awful Lot Of Censorship — Caitlin Johnstone
You’d think a society devoted to truth and freedom, the kind of society western powers purport to be trying to defend in Ukraine, would not require a Ministry of Truth to protect us from “disinformation” about a government long targeted by the US-centralized empire, or from trying to seek out alternative perspectives beyond the homogeneous blanket of authorized mainstream narratives.
You’d think the truth would be more robust than that. You’d think freedom would extend farther than that. You’d think democracy would be more tolerant of dissent than that.
Almost like this has nothing to do with freedom, or truth, or democracy.
Almost like it never has.
