No, they are not morons. This is a very calculated move. There is a full-court press for power going on right now, and the main ring in this circus is information. By limiting information flow, those in charge are capable of influencing "the crowd" with nobody to challenge them. The only way to see behind the curtain is to leave the crowd, as you are now doing, by finding other venues. But they are counting on the fact that because they have first-developed status on their platforms, they will hold enough of the crowd to be able to change the power structure to one they control without any areas of dissent remaining. Then they can use that power to "clean up" (i.e. start actual physical removal of) the last pockets of dissent, because their propaganda will keep the crowd confused as to what is really happening. This is an ancient playbook, only accelerated by technology. It's very scary to watch it happening in real time, however. If the censors are not successfully opposed in the next 12 months, I see a lot of death and destruction coming.
