The Deep State presently controls all msm and the internet. They thus control how the masses perceive reality itself. They can pinpoint who said what on the internet. They can, at a whim, cut you off from the internet or your bank account.
I believe this is how the antichrist -- earth's final dictator -- will operate his regime. While the deep state doesn't waste their time and resources on small fry, the antichrist's regime most certainly will. They will get into the "micro" aspect of things and will go after ANYONE who SAID anything against the antichrist.
The bible says that anyone who doesn't accept the mark of the beast, will not be able to buy or sell. In other words, you will starve to death. This proves that in the near future, banking will be hyper-centralised. You'll have ONE ID with which you can live out your daily life. If you don't have it, you're finished. His regime will be facilitated by TODAY'S hi-tech.
All who are opposed to the antichrist or his mark will be hated. Just like how today those who refuse masks and vaccines are hated, in the future those who refuse to follow the antichrist and take his mask will be hated. Everything that's happening today is a PREVIEW of life under the future antichrist.
Edit: let me add that the deep state is paving the way for the antichrist.
They don't know until they are sleeping among a pile of dead bodies and their own entrails, conscious and fully aware that they are heavily mutilated.
