Ibn Maghreb on Nostr: With the clear emergence of a mature censorship industrial complex that is ...

With the clear emergence of a mature censorship industrial complex that is spearheaded by not just the core actors of the Five Eyes but also the belligerent Israeli intelligence community, Muslims are now finding themselves in the same position of fragility and vulnerability as post 9/11. Whereas during the War On Terror there was a systematic propaganda campaign against Muslims using the total weight of legacy media and the astroturfed NGO-complex, the aims of our enemies is to wind down the decentralising effect of social media platforms in an effort to control not just narratives but diffuse digital Muslim asabiyya, breaking it down from within by putting up barriers across the net.

Digital sovereignty including over data, social media platforms and publishing is now the target of American Empire wishing to try and put the genie back in the bottle in regards to social media. There will be labels such as "misinformation", "hate speech" and the time and tested hammer of "antisemitism" used to justify all manner of draconian encroachment of the Deep Administrative State of American Empire into all facets of "the Discourse".

"The Discourse" was never the imagined utopia of "Popper's Open Society" - it was instead a mirage, a simulacra of "deliberative reason" in the "public sphere" - euphemisms of artificial edifices that were often the construct of ex-military and ex-intelligence agents wishing to simulate the "art of the conversation" and "public reason". These euphemisms fronted by Cold War liberals were merely aesthetic concepts to sanitise the very real and gross encroachment of the State into every facet of our lives in an effort to displace the gaze of God Himself - claiming Sovereignty over our very cognitive faculties. Popperian "open society" aesthetics provided the rhetoric for various intelligence agencies of American Empire to participate covertly in the supposed civic life of liberal democracies.

Sovereignty is key - and it is really the only priority for the Muslim political engagement. Expect over the next 12-18 months a series of ludricous bills and acts passing through parliaments all over the Anglosphere wishing to "protect" people from "misinformation" in an almighty effort to re-establish State dominance over thought and speech.

Scratch beneath the surface of liberalism, look beyond the philosophical assumptions of the canon of Mill, Kant and Rawls and you a find a deeply malignant, transnational, military-technocratic surveillance apparatus that works without any accountability, scrutiny with endless funding - liberalism is the precursor ideology for the Cybernetic State - which is the hyperdigital transformation of the Deep Administrative State established during the latter years and aftermath of WWII by American Democrats and progressives who are the most resourceful and successful servants of the Empire.
