Fact-checkers are the 'useful idiots' of Technocrats; often low-pay, entry-level jobs filled by inexperienced partisans who know little to nothing about the topics they fact-check. Yet, these become the undisputed 'experts' who can dictate the narrative that you must believe - lest you be also fact-checked and cancelled for not marching in compliance.
I have said that Technocracy's coup d'état started in 2020 with the COVID pandemic and that there would be other "shoes" to drop in the near future: War in Ukraine fits the criteria because a new energy order is emerging, as well as a digital security state. Increased cyber attacks will generate calls for a universal identity to gain access to the Internet and basic necessities such as food, transportation, etc.
Propaganda does not spontaneously generate itself; rather, it is specifically created to deceive the hearers into a belief or action that they would not otherwise entertain. Technocrats weaponize data they collect from society and use it selectively to cause people groups to change direction, adopt new behaviors, think differently, etc. This is information warfare.
