Glen 🇨🇦 part owner of Canada* @honestcanadian.bsky.social · 09/12/2024No offence to the OP. This quote is very close to true. Einstein wrote an essay titled "Why Socialism?" in 1949 in which he said that the rich already controlled the means of communication. So they have been controlling communication since before 1949. 2100
