The only sources of information we currently see about protests happening across the US are by small broadcasters. There is plenty of news that is being systematically being suppressed by the top-down information chain because it is so effective in clamping down dissent.
IMO, free flowing information still remains the best safeguard against tyranny.
Doesn't this imply that what we're seeing today and calling tyranny is more free than what came before? (anyone can become an individual broadcaster)
Put another way - is this a case of the tyrannical calling the free tyrants? If Orwell or Huxley taught us anything it's that this how a state maintains its illusion/power - manipulating language and perception to make their control seem necessary/liberating.
That's because we're not seeing _actual_ tyranny. Maybe a would-be tyrant, tryannical tendencies or a slide toward tyranny, however you might want to phrase it, but it's not tyranny.
Individual broadcasters are also the largest detractors along with supporters.
This looks a lot like tyranny to me. Small scale and many may feel its justified but ICE appears to be acting repeatedly in defiance of lawful orders here.
When is it tyranny? When he send the military into 19 states under federal control? Or does it have to be when he’s actually ordering the killings of his opponents?
IMO, free flowing information still remains the best safeguard against tyranny.
