The scum pushing chat control are in no way "populists." No actual people want it!
That's how Demagogy works🙃
Populism is when unpopular and serving only the elite? Nah, I'm pretty sure you've got that exactly backwards.
Demagogy arises from you giving your power for others to orchestrate. Whether by majority or minority, the longer you admit their power, the longer they will encroach on your rights.
Tis why elitism exists, because the majority have decided to grant the minority rule over the majority.
It's time to take your power back.
