The Left Wants Biden to Define Reality
This is no surprise. The New York Times wants the Biden Administration to create what it calls a reality czar that will police the airwaves and interwebs for untruths and fix them. This is all for our own good you see. This is from Brietbart:
The essay, penned by Times technology columnist Kevin Roose, accuses “millions of Americans” of embracing “hoaxes, lies and collective delusions” before questioning how to unite a country where these millions “have chosen to create their own version of reality.”
“I worry that unless the Biden administration treats conspiracy theories and disinformation as the urgent threats they are, our parallel universes will only drift further apart, and the potential for violent unrest and civic dysfunction will only grow,” Roose writes.
So the portrayers of truth realize that there is a gap between “the truth”, and what the rest of us think. They don’t say it that way though. They call what we think hoaxes, lies, and delusions. And if we didn’t know that the big tech companies are just extensions of the Democratic party already, they propose that the administration set up a task force. What would this force do?
Such a task force may also hold recurring meetings with tech platforms to “push for structural changes,” including formulating the means for such platforms to share information about “QAnon and other conspiracy theory communities” with both researchers and government agencies.
It would basically just push out into the open what is already occurring. This should sound a little familiar. In the book 1984 they had the Ministry of Truth that decided not only what was true, but what was to be spoken about. One of the supposed experts that was questioned by the NYT author even admits that is “sounds a little dystopian.”
A lot of people in the recent past would say that this kind of stuff wouldn’t be possible in the United States. I would have agreed with them a couple of years ago. This opinion piece isn’t really hashing any new ground though. Big tech has been involved in our politics for years. It was only recently that they went in full bore and without apology. They did it because they knew the outcome of the election. They knew that they wouldn’t face any consequences for what they had done.
Now they need to solidify the current structure. They know that they will be targets if someone like Trump gets power again. That is why the democrats are in full crazy mode. Any justification at all will be used to provide cover and conceal what the real play is. The real play is to rig the entire system to make sure they never lose power. If that means importing voters, stuffing ballot boxes, or deciding what is true, so be it.
