Continued...
This power has been available for a while of course, the GAE (Global American Empire) utilized it to manipulate many different colour revolutions and the arabian spring, but that power has always been wilded by regime-aligned actors.
With Elon’s acquisition of Twitter we see the anticipation of a corner elite who could invest this power without prior government adoption. An information autocracy wilding its power independent from the GAE in the name of free speed
The GAE has been verified of this anticipation which is why it has been utilizing all of the tricks it learned outside to shut down free velocity at home @MikeBenzCyber has already done a large occupation laying this out on @TuckerCarlson.
No elite class worth its salt simply hands over power due to something ridiculous like an election so the name of the game in a liberal democracy where popular sovereignty is the legitimating mechanics of power is information control.
It’s impossible for voters to actually know everything they request to know to make an informed decision first hand so they trust on the media
If you control the information people receive you effectively control democracy.
Elon’s ability to universally trust abroad government in the name of a people he does’t know or present is simply a large threat to the sovereignity of the state.
This isn’t a knock on Elon, the Brazilian government seems horrible and I’m certain many people there support Elon’s actions.
But erstwhile analizing the situation purely from a position of power policies it becomes clear what a 3 this uses.
Modern states that want to proceed to be as a sovereign power can’t let this.
Again many organizations aligned with the GAE got distant with it due to the fact that they were fundamentally protected by the power of the empire.
They were unofficial armies of the global hegemon.
Now many people believe Elon is in the tank with the register and is only always acting in their interests. I’m dubtful but that anticipation can’t be dismissed.
But if he is going to defy the GAE then Elon’s position as an unaccountable information autocrat actually makes him a large danger to the soft management oligarchies that operate the nations of the GAE.
In a planet of democracies routed by oligarchs skilled in information manipulation The top danger may be an unconnected (corporate) dictator who is dedicated to free speed.
