My story: I’m left and come from a former communist country. I’m politically homeless now because I see that the left now has turned totalitarian and I recognise the madness: people with good intentions think they can install utopia if only everyone thought like them. Because they are good people wanting good things for everyone then it follows (in their heads) that it’s good to suppress speech, it’s good to shut down debates (they have debated and reached the Truth already, you see, they are just imparting it now)

The next step, already started is to move on to “suppress” people (people are too stupid to understand what’s good for them).

People and women especially are already afraid to speak against ideology, especially trans ideology, look what happens to the ones that do, women lose jobs when they say sex is real and important, for example. They couldn’t cancel JKRowling but they can cancel pretty much everyone else.

People are becoming non persons, denied banks accounts.. Their voices are shut down by social media.

As crazy as it sounds, next is physical suppression. Don’t worry, you won’t hear about it, it will be just rumours in the wind. The visible people in the media will be rightfully charged with this or other and punished behind closed doors.

You will be afraid to speak, even to your children (my childhood is full of silences from my mum when I was asking things like: why we have ration cards mum, are we animals? Why are they 20+pages with the party leader in every single book, not only manuals, but almanacs too? Why is he called our Father? Why dad can’t go out for a drink with that man? (An informer – my dad’s answer: exactly bc he is in informer I am nice to him!).

We started indoctrination in preschool, we were called the “eagles” of the country, then you were a “pioneer” and so on. Drills too, Then forced manual labour from high school (picking up fruit on a farm for ex).

The outcome is not utopia but highly hierarchical society with Party people at the top, forever spewing ideology, the ideology getting crazier and crazier, with a lovely game on the side of who is behind in the ideology and can be punished (=cancelled), the rest getting poorer and poorer, bad widespread management of the economy (forget innovations, they were running loses on what they did have, year on year)

I could go on. It’s so familiar it’s frightening… my friends who haven’t been through this can’t see it.. maybe you’ll have more success with your friends..

One last thing: People couldn’t raise up because the whole world was bearing down on us for a long time, not just the local government.. the USA either couldn’t or didn’t want to intervene for a long time, and we were surrounded and inside a communist world of many countries..

that’s why, because this is international now, Republicans are not fighting their democrats, they are fighting against the whole western world pretty much, but not fighting at all will be much worse..

If we lose now, I don’t know about winning in future because the technology is advancing and it is being brought to bear down on us... In ways we can see now, and in ways that will be invented and implemented. In this future where there is no freedom of speech or information you won’t even become aware that more ways to keep you compliant have been deployed.

You’ll be compliant or die, there is no need for a lot of us to be here on this Earth, machines will take more and more jobs, ex jobs like general practitioners or lawyers (already in development).

You’ll have your circuses and drugs so I guess that’s good?

It sounds bleak because it is.

It was a shock to see Hunter Biden’s story censored so blatantly and now the election fraud, so yep, it’s here, the masks have fallen.
