Copyright as a Weapon: Strikes, Claims, and Cultural Control

We live in a time where silence doesn’t fall by accident — it’s engineered. The voices that once stirred, questioned, and disrupted are now managed by algorithms and hidden behind claims of “fairness” or “safety.” What looks like protection is often just control in disguise, and the weight of it falls not on corporations but on individuals who dare to speak, create, or critique.

Gatekeepers of Time: Beyond the Uniform Story

The story they give us is neat, clean, uniform — but reality is nothing of the sort. Nature bends, history breaks, memory distorts, and yet the official chronologies march on as if untouched by chaos. What we inherit is a curated illusion, a scaffolding of narratives that conceal more than they reveal. And the deeper we look, the more obvious it becomes that the “truth” on offer is not truth at all, but a managed performance.

I Was There

History is written not just by those in power but by those who dare to observe, question, and document events as they unfold. Writers, like Orwell, act as both record keepers and truth tellers — capturing moments that might otherwise be lost to manipulation and distortion. But what happens when the truth itself becomes a battleground? In an era where deception is refined into an art form, the role of the writer has never been more crucial.

Soft Totalitarianism and the Perception Trap

The world we live in is shaped more by perception than reality, often curated by those in power to serve their interests. Whether through education, media, or entertainment, narratives are crafted to influence public opinion, stifle dissent, and justify authoritarian policies. One of the most persistent myths – overpopulation – has been weaponized to create fear, justify restrictions, and manipulate human behavior.

Revolutions: Freedom of Speech

It’s August 2024. This is a watershed moment in Canadian history, and for Western nations in general. For example, consider Bill C-63. It is introduced, in part, under the guise of an amorphous, ambiguous concept such as “online harm,” but, in practice, it will result in increased censorship, social unrest, and further instills and legitimizes communist sociopolitics in the future. When a law is intentionally left unclear, ill-defined, and open to interpretation based on the politics of those involved, it’s a dangerous, slippery slope that will put the “Digital Safety Office,” their enforcers in the police services, and the unwitting judiciary in hot water.

A society will eventually destabilize and collapse as a result of this overly simplistic and yet predictable agenda in which anyone can be fined, arrested, tried, or imprisoned for simply speaking up and sharing their opinion, whether online or not. Heaven forbid you ever criticize or insult our era’s foolish, narcissistic, corrupt, captured, and cowardly politicians.
