> Freedom of speech is useless in a population that has been subjected to years of psyops, forming LAYERS upon layers of cognitive distortions, critical thinking helplessness, ideological conditioning and manufactured false realities of opinions
What do you think is the cause for the layers of distortion?
Here's what I think of:
- censorship / propaganda in school
- censorship / propaganda on the news
- censorship / influencing on social media
Freedom of speech directly counters the censorship and propaganda. For example, thanks to freedom of speech, you might hear about an idea that you were shielded from your entire life.
So it seems to me that this phrase is entirely backwards, it is the lack of freedom of speech, and the lack of free access to information (Programmed by "the feed" versus access/discovery of relevant information) that causes this problem of "distorted reality" in the first place.
Am I missing something here?
