Domination Through Chaos and Fear

 Weaponizing hate and inducing paranoid fancies of danger to gain control is now, too, a feature in too many countries including ours, as Michael Shellenberger observes: The US and other governments around the world are hyping hate in order to weaponize the government against their political enemies.

Ever since the 2019 shooting in New Zealand, governments have been using so-called hate speech, fake news, and misinformation as justifications for censorship.

In Ireland, the government is pushing hate speech legislation that would allow police to invade homes and seize phones and computers.

In Canada, Justin Trudeau is pushing legislation that would allow the government to sentence individuals to life in prison for things they said.

The Biden administration also endorsed the "Christchurch Call to Action to Eliminate Terrorist and Violent Extremist Content Online," which governments created in 2019 to justify censorship.

For the government to decide what is extreme is a way of labeling someone as a potential terrorist threat.

So why are governments doing this? I think it's safe to say that we can expect more of this drive for power through manufactured chaos, and you've no real choice except to resist bullying as well as you are able.
