There is a shift from left to right in the world, but that does not mean that freedom will increase.

It means that the masters of the world have realized that the speeches of the left no longer fool anyone and people are very close to revolt.

This turnaround is nothing more than a big smokescreen to make people content with reality and prevent social upheaval.

They don't care about you, but they need well-behaved slaves so be happy and pay your taxes on time.

The key to controlling what people think is controlling what they think about. The best control method is not to refute a claim but rather to get people to argue about a ridiculous false binary. Don’t make a person rethink their position; make them take it sideways a little at a time: not self-rule - Coservative or Labour; not armed citizens - gun control or school shootings; not sexual morality - abortion or pregnant 10-year-olds. People will say with a straight face that having one choice for a leader is tyranny, but having two choices is freedom.

By introducing a false binary, you can easily steer people to the next logical conclusion, like redirecting a river. You can’t make a river run uphill, but you can redirect it to irrigate your crops. For example: when a nation has one story, the citizens ask if it is true. When a nation has two stories, citizens ask which one is true. Isn’t that a neat magic trick?

Great to point this out that often there is a false idea of freedom. It should always be an objective for a free society to have nothing stoping a person or a union in forming new parties and ideas. And one needs a political system that can hold more then just two parties. Then if not the above is not really feasable.
