Under the Biden Regime, opinions and factual information that contradicted Democrat ideology were regarded as “misinformation.” To learn where this concept is heading, look to once great Britain, which leads the way to progressive authoritarianism.

Via GB News:

Anti-transgender views have been labelled “misinformation” in a Government-commissioned report.

The 136-page document, produced by academics for the Office for Science, outlines how ministers can use psychology to fight so-called “false” narratives.

You think men can’t menstruate out their behinds? Wrong. The UK government would likely regard that view as a false narrative.

Another false narrative is claiming there is anything wrong with men pretending to be women so they can punch out real women in the boxing ring:

Among the examples is coverage of Olympic boxer Imane Khelif, with claims about the athlete’s biological sex listed as potential “racist or Islamophobic misinformation.”

Clearly no society can tolerate racist or Islamophobic misinformation.

Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 World Boxing Championships by the International Boxing Association (IBA) for allegedly failing gender eligibility tests.

The IBA must be indulging in false narratives.

The report advocates for “prebunking” as a primary defence against misleading claims taking root in society.

Central to this approach is “psychological inoculation,” which involves exposing people to weakened versions of false claims to build “resistance” against future “manipulation”.

Soon we cross from propaganda to Stasi-style surveillance:

Academics behind the report also urge ministers to establish a massive database of “false narratives”, updated every month, so so-called misinformation can be tracked as it spreads across Britain.

This database will come in useful when propaganda tactics like prebunking fail to achieve attitudinal conformity, and force of law is inevitably applied to snuff out misinformation.
