Today on reddit I posted 3 comments on a post on the front page. They were deleted by mods, and to verify my account, I have to send them a picture of my forearm showing my skin color. If my skin is not dark enough, I don't get approved.

This is what manufactured consent looks like. When your idea is so shit literally 96% of people are against it and you are so shameless in your censoring that you leave literally less than two dozen comments out of 500.

You can force your will like a spoiled petulant child for a while. But only for a while.

Is this true? I fear it may not be. That the powers that be will eventually have full control over the populace.

At the moment we are programmed by telescreens in our pocket beaming propaganda at us, but still our everyday experiences and our brains' natural pattern recognition abilities help to ground us in reality. What happens when they start putting electrodes in our brain? Neuralink is a project by Elon Musk that seeks to do just that. They could adjust our perception in real-time to fit their manufactured narrative.

Pretty big reach. Until then, there will come a time when people are sick of it. Come that point, who knows what other things will happen.
