It should not be understated that they are also silencing the Left. This is the hill to die on for those who want liberty and not for 5 organizations to tell us what we can and can’t hear. This should be the metaphorical Battle of Winterfell for people who despise one another to come against the establishment that wishes to silence us all.

We often fail to name our adversaries and land only on a single part: the establishment, the MSM, the Deep State, Globalists, "the 1%", etc. We miss the whole for the parts because the whole sham is so big as to be almost beyond comprehension.

There are only two factions: Us and Them.

They run almost all print and tv news. They run Hollywood. They run traditional and streaming media platforms. They run the vast majority of Fortune 500 companies. They run the federal government. They run federal law enforcement. They run education.

They live in the same few cities. They go to the same private schools, the same elite universities. They donate to the same charities, attend the same benefits. They all marry each other, hire each other's family.

Does no one else find it insane that every dipshit you see on tv has a brother that runs an international law firm, parents that are professors at Georgetown, a spouse that is a partner at a global hedge fund, best friends that are Hollywood producers, etc? I've lived 30 years and never met someone that worked as a hedge fund manager, but every slapdick DC staffer is related to half a dozen.
