Good evening,
2 days ago, while I was taking a look at the news, I noticed another crazy one from this still crazy world.
After months (years) of fighting to keep our right (and responsibility) to think differently concerning many things as during the covid 1984 crisis, my attention was caught by an "interesting" article : an announcement from the French GVT concerning the conspiracy theorists.
Sonia Backes, the state secretary in charge of the citizenship for the Minister of home security and overseas territories (yeah, another useless department....) made a speech about the danger of conspiracists and that we needed to make it easier for people to report the ones they think they can be a danger for themselves or others according to what they think... What a good plan, isn't it ? Honestly, I thought it was something fake or exaggerated, so I dig a bit and I found that it was true, a new splendid idea!
So, they will make a special council whose members will gather (for example each year in January) to decide where they should put their attention, what subjects should focus their thoughts and what should they do about it... Moreover, they will ask/make easier for people to report others (family, colleagues, friends, etc.) and you know what, considering what has happened during lockdown, I have no doubts that some will be more than happy to report those crazy guys thinking by themselves.
Here is her statement in French, followed by a translation :
Of course, they say that they would never avoid people to think or believe in what they want, … except (yeah, you knew there would be an exception lol) if it means harm to themselves or others... Can you feel the perfume of this BS that softly hugs you before hitting you with a knife in your back ?
No need to be a genius to recognize the pattern to this well known scheme "it's for your good" (by the way, when politics do something saying that it's for your good, just run !).
In fact, it's easy to see that it will be very hard to draw a line between what is your simple belief/thought and what they consider dangerous for yourself and others. For god's sake, it's like people never learn, and it's almost funny considering what we just lived the past few months with the whole covid situation.
Remember the funny stickers like "what is the difference between a conspiracy and the truth ? 6 months. " (in fact, it can be far less ^^').
In conclusion, Part 1 : truth was forbidden in mass media and social networks (still the case) and now Part 2, they go further with special council and your environment. Let's see how they will manage to build this new project/weapon against free will.
