From late-night host cancellations to removing LGBTQ+ history from government sites, politicians in both parties are contributing to the overwriting of the internet — a place where lots of queer and trans people first find community.

It won’t be nice to hear, but here goes… Because the ‘woke’ movement pushed by the Dems, were really just a psyop - propaganda - to create hatred against orthodox Russia/Putin. Remember pussy-riot, the Gay Putin memes etc ? They were all US supported/instigated narratives pushed in Nato + especially Ukraine for many years. Now that the campaign didn’t amount to the expected result, the US plutocracy/MIC don’t need/want it anymore, and not all Dems were onboard with the ‘hippie’ psyop that went against their core morale. They are likely pushing back now.

Obama/Biden and other top Dems knew all along that it were just a campaign to pump up hate in a move against their perceived enemies, and don’t care shit about ordinary people and their sexuality - or life really. I mean, when did US top politicians suddenly grow a desire to defend the little guy ? I’ve never heard of such a thing.

Re. social media/censorship. US spends a ton of resources grooming social media platforms for ‘proper’ western/liberal content/values, and the TikTok issue - among many - are an attempt to control information on that platform also. Specially young people have via uncontrolled media, seen what happens in israel/gaza, Ukraine/Russia, and even seen how China is really like, and even become friends with them. The young people on uncontrolled media (non US sphere of interest) are - according to the US leadership - getting behind the ‘wrong’ party in masses. That made the US Plutocracy flip out and make all kinds of problems for the Chinese company (hundreds of fake rumors, tariffs/pressure, and now money to buy it. The whole shebang were rolled out for ‘National Security’, which oc is just the security of the Plutocracy - not the people…

I think the ‘normal’ prosecuting morale is coming back - unfortunately. …and fascism - that were already here before Drump - will become much worse as the US plutocratic regime decline into recession/crash. Be careful over there !
