One form of labeling, these days, is the young supposed activists and rebels who are in complete alignment with the people at the top of the world in power and status, Greta Tunberg is the prototype. An actual protestor would be outside with a cardboard sign, not speaking to assembled big wigs. She's a mouthpiece for the exact things the powerful want, and they all pretend she's a critic.
I think current US gov attempts at censorship are unprecedented, way beyond the CIA's 1960s-style deployment of the concept of "conspiracy theory." With the internet that so many pieces are available for putting together by anyone who has the curiosity and impulse to do so, and it's a lot easier to see which ideas are actually the most popular. In the 60s-90s, the pieces that were available to be found were often planted by operatives with the intention of making people who question look foolish and borderline deranged.
US lefties with power vastly overestimated the popularity of their ideas, believing in a split 50-50. Since 2016, it's been obvious to a wide swath of the public that the split is a lot closer to 90-10 against progressives, revolutionaries, alphabet social engineers. This is causing them to panic and make mistakes, like the short-lived mal-information bureau.
Thanks, your's too.

I know they're still at it, but at least, now, a lot more people are onto them. This gives me hope.
