But here you go: https://unherd.com/2022/03/how-western-elites-exploit-ukraine/ "But wedded to a disturbing, yet ascendant, neo-McCarthyism, the homogenisation of the Western media environment could ultimately prove more ominous than simple government censorship à la North Korea or Iran. At its core, the phenomenon aims to condition public opinion into “correct” acceptable speech patterns in the service of the “noble lie” — using the good heart of most ordinary citizens and their repulsion at human suffering as bait. This noxious development, unless fully defanged and neutralised, could yet tear the very fabric of Western society, unleashing the dystopia of internalised totalitarianism, wherein the public-private boundaries disappear and citizens — even informed ones — can hardly distinguish between planted or socially-reinforced information and their own views. In such a world, the only choice is to virtue signal and self-censor. Gone unchecked, it could amount to mass indoctrination around key national security questions and spell the end of democracy — in spirit if not procedurally. This is the ultimate fog of war.: We have a homogeneous media environment? I'd have to say no. We have all sorts of media.

Coffeesforclosers Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 We're suffering from a massive case of the boy who cried wolf. Ever since the forever wars started, we've been fed a line about the next Hitler, mushroom clouds, wmds and whatever. Now when there's an actual maniac who wants to reconquer a dead empire, everyone on all sides of the political spectrum is fed up. It's ***** sad that we've come to this. because everyone is torn between standing up to Tsar Vladimir the Insane and starting ANOTHER war that goes on and on and on and on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, Russian incompetence and Ukranian mud might take care of Putin's regime without US or NATO intervention. Should Putin not retain power through this fiasco, we just need to hope that whoever/whatever fills the power void is a better option. Recent history has often made us miss the dictator we knew after we were made familiar with the new chaos. One thing is certain, its going to be interesting!
