All governments need to control the “narrative” in order to control the information available to the people under their control.
You think within the parameters of what you know, obviously. Whoever controls the information available to you, in effect controls your thinking.
Those wielding power can only allow the illusion of free thought, self-determination, all the while controlling the information flow, and therefore what information is available to people for their though formation, and to influence their actions based upon same.
All governments, all seemingly different political parties have the same need, and resort to the same tactics. They need to control the people, and the most effective way to do this is through controlling the information flow to heavily influence the thinking of most everyone. Some are better at it than others, but they all do it.
The internet is the predominant information source for people in western cultures, and in an ever growing number of other cultures. Control of the information flow on the internet is critical to control of the various populations.
The surveillance/police state is the perceived necessary governmental form of the future, with a carefully maintained illusion of democracy etc by the constant control of information.
