Now, as many have pointed out, the cathedral (biz + gov +media) doesn't like anything that it does not control. Of course, there's the digital brownshirts. The troons.
As for my take on the SHUT IT DOWN mode they're trying to pull, its true they're trying to silence dissent because they want to make it seem people are backing whatever plan the government has. Not unlike the USSR. (WEF anyone?) But the way I see it, its also to protect the people on top.
As the elites have a nasty penchant of getting into some Salo/120 days of Sodom type shit. And as nothing more is aggravating to them than someone laughing at their stupidity, its obvious they'll try to shoah this site. Pretty sure Klaus doesn't appreciate being known as "eat ze bugs" guy or how his photos of walking on a beach in white lingerie has surfaced. Soros being known as a shitty supervillain. Or Castreau.
Why do you think they threw everything they got to dismiss Pizzagate as another 'le alt right' conspiracy? Or how Epstein totally did kill himself? The bottom line is, the elites aren't fond of the idea of being relegated into the lolcow box just like Chris. Much like the nobles of old, they only wish of being worshipped and kow-towed to as Gods. The reality is though, they're lolcows. Their ideas are shitty and deserve to be laughed and ridiculed at for being out of their gourd.
But what makes them scarier than regular lolcows is the fact they have funds and people to make their dreams come true. Imagine if you will if Chris was born in one of these families. He'd definitely throw his money into making Sonichus real and Cwcville a reality. Latter is completely doable. There within lies the horror of the situation.
In a weird way, they fear the farms because it threatens how people view their legitimacy over the populace. (spoilers. its gone down the toilet already)
TL;DR: Elites hate getting laughed at. Its why they're putting their weight in trying to censor the internet.
