"The world is indeed being increasingly dominated by an oppressive one-party empire that is unaccountable to voters and built on lies, and the most threatening thing to that empire is indeed the light of truth."

You said it. That's why the elite are so desperately trying to shut down avenues or access to open and free communication and trying to disrupt those networks because they know the people are becoming more aware of their bullfuckery.

That's why there is a massive government/corporate push to shut down the internet with the FCC and roll back of net neutrality, government monitoring of all internet activity, YouTube demonetization of any content deemed non-advertiser friendly to the establishment, social media and tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Twitter telling us what is true or not, facial recognition for permanent real time tracking and monitoring of the entire population, attacks on free speech world wide, attacks on the 2nd amendment in America, and much more.

The shut down of society and steady slide into fascistic authoritarian rule is being rolled out in the name of combating 'fake news' (the mainstream media is a huge pusher of fake news) or fighting terrorism (which Western governments are greatly responsible for directly or indirectly arming, funding, and/or training the very terrorists we are supposed to be afraid of). It's all a scam. Governments and corporations don't give a shit about the people apart from the life and wealth that can be siphoned off them. But thankfully more people are waking up to what's really going on, and that's why the elite are hell bent on controlling information, which is why people need to keep sharing information and supporting those who publish it.
