Two Parties Of Capitalist Imperialists: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

They do not just call Democrats "communists" and "Marxists" in order to attack Democrats, they do it to disappear the entire giant expanse of political spectrum that exists to the left of the capitalist imperialist Democratic Party. They want you to think that is as far left as it gets.

Democrats refer to themselves as "the left" for the same reason. Both mainstream factions work to shrink the Overton window into a tug-o-war between Republican capitalist imperialists and Democrat capitalist imperialists. Between two opposing factions of neoliberal neocons.

The problem with the belief that we must start new social media companies because the United States government keeps infiltrating the popular social media companies is that it does nothing to confront the huge problem that the United States government keeps infiltrating popular social media companies.

Until we turn and squarely address the problem that the worlds most powerful government keeps infiltrating the popular online platforms we use to communicate with each other in order to interfere in our communications, they are just going to keep doing it. Their actions need to be stopped.

Sure you can keep starting new social media companies in response to this problem, but they will either remain small platforms without any meaningful influence or they will be overpowered by the United States government and made to facilitate United States information interests.

That is the real issue.

To accept that we can only have unrestricted political speech on small platforms is to accept that we can have free speech so long as no one hears us. That we can say whatever we want as long as we speak it into a hole in the ground.

Starting new platforms is not the solution to this problem. The solution to this problem is loud, forceful, aggressive opposition to the United States government interfering with the way people communicate with each other on the internet until they stop.

This is actually very possible to do, because the United States government needs to preserve its image as an upholder of liberal values.

If that image starts to deteriorate as public awareness grows that they are working to censor worldwide political speech, their behavior will need to change. So what we can do is work to grow public awareness and opposition to the United States governments increasingly intrusive operations in Silicon Valley.

That is a much better use of our energy than self-isolating our dissident speech in small online platforms that have no mainstream impact.

United States government agencies would love it if we would all self-quarantine ourselves in the obscure margins of the internet where we can not infect the mainstream herd with wrongthink. We would be doing their work for them. It is better to stay on the largest platforms and work to open some eyes.

"China is going to invade Taiwan!"

"What? How do you know?"

"Well we are pouring tons of weapons into Taiwan, and we know we would definitely invade if the Chinese were doing that in Cuba."

"Ahh. So you have got some solid intelligence then."

I am often accused of "praising" or "supporting" Russia or China, which is funny because I never actually do. People are just so accustomed to being told the United States and its allies are pure good and its enemies are pure evil that anything outside this looks wildly imbalanced to them.

It is possible to saturate a civilization so thoroughly with propaganda that the entirely normal baseline act of focusing ones criticisms on the worlds most powerful and destructive power center looks freakish and suspicious in contrast to what you are accustomed to consuming.

In reality, criticizing the United States-centralized empire with appropriate and proportional forcefulness and focus looks like treasonous support for enemy nations for the same reason sunlight would seem shocking and abrasive to someone who has lived their whole life in a cave.

We do not live in a free society, we live in a highly controlled society where we are psychologically manipulated into mental homogeneity in service of the powerful. Criticizing foreign countries for not having freedom like ours helps make our own society even more tightly controlled.

We are told we are freer than other countries so that we will not see how unfree we are. You can not look down your nose at countries like China or North Korea and still clearly see how controlled and homogenized your own country is. You can not celebrate your freedom while still lucidly understanding your oppression.

The illusion of freedom is precisely where the reality of our imprisonment hides. We have been conditioned to mistake being able to choose between two fake political factions for political freedom. To mistake being able to regurgitate what we have been propagandized into saying for free speech.

People say "I am free because where I live I can say, do and experience anything I want!" But that is not true; you can not.

You can only say, do and experience what you have been conditioned to want to say, do and experience by the mass-scale psychological manipulation you have been marinating in since birth. You can do what you want, but they control what it is that you want.

There is no better illustration of how unfree we are than the way westerners all think the same thoughts about how unfree people are in countries the western empire just so happens to disapprove of.

We bleat in unison, "I am so glad I do not live in a tyrannical homogenized country like China where people are not free to be individuals."

We will not be free until our minds are free.

Until all of us (not just the lucky few who happen to stumble outside the narrative matrix) are able to shape their own perspectives based on truth rather than on what benefits the powerful. Until we are able to become true individuals.
