As we say down south, a hit dog is gonna holler.

Polite but pointed questions are hostile only to the dishonest and deceitful.

We are like rats fighting in a sack. The trouble is the sack is provided by the system and we are fighting each other, not the system. That must suit them down to the ground.

We are not afraid to think and speak our minds so we must be contained. We need more people to stand up for what is right and obvious. They are going to have to be pretty desperate though as many are comfortable living in the industrial-technological system that is increasingly centralised.

Or there is going to have to be a trigger. A point where the powerful, rich people behind the scenes, go too far. But then they monitor what we do and say and think so they are building the system to adjust automatically to keep things in balance. That is what they will use AI for.

We don't need freedom of speech within the rules laid down by the system. We need real freedom. Freedom means being in control (either as an individual or as a member of a SMALL group) of life-and-death issues. Freedom means having power; not the power to control other people but the power to control the circumstances of one’s own life. Sorry all you who love their gadgets, freedom means getting rid of technology!
