Perceptual Sovereignty, Propaganda, and Censorship
In recent years Americans have been increasingly discomfited by censorship, and we have discovered the US government, despite the direct prohibition of it in the Constitution, has been censoring the speech of Americans. That is actually treason, a capital crime punishable by death, yet it apparently was undertaken by USG employees with malice aforethought, and we have been provided proof of these crimes in copious quantities by the Elon in the files released by Twatter after he purchased it.
The politicization of the DOJ and it's subsidiary agency chartered to enforce federal laws, the FBI, were two of the means used to commit that treason, and are unsurprisingly reticent to prosecute the crimes it has itself been party to committing. The question has to be asked: can the US even prosecute treason anymore? Or has the criminal infiltration of American government been so complete that it has been wholly and irreversibly corrupted and become diametrically opposed to the purposes of Constitutional government it is funded to enable?
It is widely understood by many today that our public school education, one of the highest purposes of civil society, has become little more than ideological indoctrination, and our formerly vaunted 'free press', nothing more than lapdogs parroting the propaganda spooks have designed to mislead us. These evil people seek to prevent us from being competent to rule ourselves, as our forefathers fought and died to enable us to do, and the Constitution was written to ensure.
Do you have a right to the truth? Or can you lawfully be enslaved by fooling you so badly you will vote to subjugate yourself to your enemies?
According to the Constitution, we have a right to not be lied to by the US government, and to speak freely without being censored by the government. That is stated frequently to be necessary for the sovereign rights of Americans to be fulfilled, secured, and enabled so that they can justly rule themselves. Clearly if we are misled to what is actually ongoing we will not be competent to rule wisely, and if we are misled to misunderstand in order to cause us to misrule in specific ways that empower and profit our traitorous enemies domestic, that commit treason to do so, we have been enslaved just as much as if we had been forced into a cage at gunpoint.
We have been told that a free press and free speech is necessary to just rule, and I cannot disagree with the statements that assert that being well informed, rather than deceived and tricked, is fundamental to our right to rule, and ability to rule wisely.

@MakiaFreeman has published a brief <15 minute video that well expresses the idea that perceptual sovereignty, the right to know the truth, to perception of actual reality, is necessary in order for free people to rule that real world. That underlies our ability to rule ourselves, exactly as it does every other democratic republic. Without the right to learn the truth, the right to not be misled, indoctrinated and fooled with propaganda, we cannot actually exercise our sovereignty. We become enslaved by lies into captivity of misunderstanding, and might even act against our interests, should we have been tricked by traitors so that by lying to us they might as well be locking us in cages. The bars of cages and the bars of deception both equally deprive us of our freedom to rule justly.
Until just government purges from it's ranks the traitors, we ourselves have to secure our perceptual sovereignty as best we can. We can avoid listening to those we know have proved they are liars by lying to us. Once you know someone is willing to lie it is necessary to exclude what they have to say from your consideration. If you spend your time considering lies, you are being prevented from considering the truth, and truth is what you need to rule wisely. Don't pay liars any mind at all.
That's the first step in attaining perceptual freedom, and towards perceptual sovereignty. @MakiaFreeman very well expresses and discusses it. Please take the time to watch the video linked above.
I just read his post and followed his account on substack and here on hive even though they haven't posted in a good while here. I greatly impressed with it. He lays out some simple steps of questions one can take to leave the matrix in certain topics. Very important to not end up in echo chambers and keep one seeking the truth of things.
I'm glad my post was useful to you. Sometimes the best thing we can do is point to someone else.
Thanks!

i agree to what you write here. and as so often i enjoy taking the other perspective because it may lead somewhere:
a con always requires two parties, the conman and the victim. it is not on the conman to not be a conman, it is on the victim to not be a victim.
easier said than done. but you have somehow arrived, so have i and many others. so it wouldn't be fair to say it is impossible to wake up from the conman arrangement we were born into and raised around.
some are just ready and some are not. i really am not sure about causality any longer, but there is something to be said about the ever growing audaciousness of the conman (purposefully) waking up more and more people from their illusion. namely that anybody else can or ever should decide about our own life more than we ourselves.

That's the out of the box realizations we need to surmount our exigency.
Thanks!
i keep going back and forth between "they want to kill all human beings" to "they want to force our growing out of infancy". i really am no closer to deciding one way or another. but the latter does enable me to go on with a more capable and less hopeless attitude.
I am wrapping my head around both being true, and as many more schemes as there are overlords - who all seek to eventually betray their competition and become THE overlord. The problem I have with psychopaths is that they aren't competent to civil society, and see no reason that as the Space age progresses good company will become the most valuable possession that can exist. I am convinced that the best scenario possible will include a diaspora of humanity across space in the next century, and the farther we go to develop the illimitable resources, just laying there for free, into inconceivable wealth, the less available civil society will be. The democidal polycrisis will be the most lamented catastrophe our posterity will suffer, because the irreplacable wealth of human society will become ever more scarce the more wealthy and free - and spread out - humanity becomes.
The narcissistic madmen that have attained to Earthly wealth because they have been willing to commit worse atrocities than their competition to gain power aren't capable of sanity and healthy socialization. They cannot into civil society. That is why they're so bloodthirsty, because people are just things to them they can poke and prod to get what they want. That's not what we actually are, and despite their IQ, they are actually broken, incompetent to do what they're trying to do, which is reset society into something better than what it has been. They are the reason we make war and not love.
We can't leave these matters up to them, but must use our bonds of love and affection for one another to create more powerful and healthy civil society that outcompetes them, and defeats their Machiavellian evil plans to become even more wealthy and powerful at the expense of worse atrocities than have ever been inflicted, or suffered, in history. We are better than them, and we will succeed at every wonderful development we set out to achieve. It is my earnest hope and desire to minimize the death and suffering that will have to be surmounted in that process. I am absolutely sure that our posterity will lament their loneliness the incipient democide will leave them in, despite their material wealth.
