If you want to know who really has the power in this world just see how no one in public is allowed to speak on certain things, whether they are MPs in parliament, guests on TV, or otherwise. If I questioned Hamas "slaughtering 1400 Israeli civilians" in public or with coworkers, or worse yet, said you get what you deserve, I would 100% lose my job, and probably ruin my highly specialised career.
So presumably everyone else has to do a lot of sef-censorship as well?
It might happen someday, but it hasn't happened yet. I know a few people that the latter has happened to, and that are at risk of the former.
The FBI, DHS, and some local police departments have at various times showed up to my 9-5, but I don't think it had much to do with me.
