The Royal Family and the Poor -

And I have to just remind myself, thinking we're already beaten is how they win, and this show of power and influence is part of that. You know what else has happened in the last few years that they can't play to their advantage? Mass dissatisfaction with the mainstream social platforms spurring a proliferation of alternatives they can't control so easily. Grassroots information sharing and citizen journalism. We've been able to study how they've used the avenues of information, misinformation, and disinformation and drawn some lessons we can hopefully use to bring the truth to people and places that have been closed off from it.
