I think this is a bit of a misunderstanding, I don’t believe that there’s some centralized control or secret society going on, but the problem is the “invisible hand” operates to the benefit of those with power and wealth, and never against them.
It’s well known that the press has to keep special interest groups happy in return for access, for example, and that is one of the reasons that Israel is spared from critique in the mainstream press. It’s a far more complex system than just some shadowy group deciding what to cover, but rather a system of perverse incentives that all works to keep the powerful in power and to make the wealthy wealthier.
It doesn’t really matter why the media has/does push intergenerational warfare, ultimately - just that they do, and that benefits the ruling class to the detriment of working class solidarity.
Not sure who “you guys” is referring to, but I am absolutely against censorship and all kinds of authoritarianism and coercion.
