It is so disgusting to see how many people have been recruited as #Russian #propaganda voices. They comment and post stuff which can look legit, even though it is simply #disinformation that had been gently and well prepared.
#European s! Be prepared for this wave of disinformation. #Russia is trying its best to destabilise our #EI and our countries. Awful.
Remember to stay on the side of truth.
This invisible, intertwining structure of groupings and associations is the mechanism by which democracy has organized its group mind and simplified its mass thinking. To deplore the existence of such a mechanism is to ask for a society such as never was and never will be. To admit that it exists, but expect that it shall not be used, is unreasonable. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
Chris Hedges: Trump’s War on Education
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/03/14/chris-hedges-trumps-war-on-education/
The U.S. president’s cuts to education under the guise of fighting anti-Semitism are an effort to enforce totalitarianism in the minds of future generations. Questions are not to be asked, myths are to be enforced. By Chris Hedges ScheerPost The…

In theory, every citizen makes up his mind on public questions and matters of private conduct. In practice, if all men had to study for themselves the abstruse economic, political, and ethical data involved in every question, they would find it impossible to come to a conclusion without anything. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
For the sake of simplicity and practicality, that party machines should narrow down the field of choice to two candidates, or at most three or four. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
It wasn’t just terror: The #Nazis won the cultural battle in a year

For the National Socialists, everything was political. All forms of culture — from theater and cinema to painting and literature — were turned into instruments of #propaganda and antisemitism
As civilization has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and developed by which opinion may be regimented. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
I've noticed an alarming amount of #CCP #propaganda on social media, even the fediverse. So, just as a #PSA - #China is a hypercapitalist, #fascist #dystopia that is toxic and failing in every conceivable way. Check out China Fact Chasers, Laowhy86, and Serpentza on #youtube for #uncensored information about China
As is tradition, Ristić attacks those exposing #kremlin #propaganda. He co-signed a petition against #Serbian journalist/activist Dinko Gruhonjić, labeling him both “racist” and “#neofascist.”

In today’s #VatnikSoup, I’ll introduce a #serbian academic, Ratko #Ristić. He’s best known for engaging in pro-#Kremlin, #ultranationalist politics and #propaganda while undermining business ties between Serbia and the #EU.

We are governed, our minds molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
KIs plappern #Putin- #Propaganda nach.
#ChatGPT und andere #KI -Bots fallen auf Putins-Propaganda herein und verbreiten diese weiter. Grund dafür ist eine groß angelegte Manipulation durch ein russisches Propagandanetzwerk.
"Während die #Tagesschau israel. Gewalt also einbettet – & damit auch legitimiert –, wird palästin. Gewalt durchgehend entkontextualisiert & emotionalisiert. [...] Ob »Tagesschau«-Redakteure nun wirklich aufgrund interner Anweisungen oder anderer Gründe diese Formulierungen wählen, lässt sich nicht belegen. Sicher ist: Ein akkurates Bild vom seit 1,5 Jahren andauernden Krieg im Nahen Osten vermitteln sie so nicht." #Propaganda
In 2014, Russian media was awash with videos about Crimeans ”wanting to join Russia”
In 2025, US president referring to videos in right-wing media claiming Greenland ”wants to join USA”
Everything old is new again

There is no indication of Ukrainian troops being encircled in Kursk.
Let alone thousands.
Hundreds were taken prisoner during Ukraine’s retreat from there, but the president’s statement is bullshit.
Amazing synchronisation with Russian propaganda from kamrat Krasnov again.

By 1928, the word's troubling connotations had not faded: on the contrary. Throughout the decade there had been a gradual, disorienting revelation of just how systematically, and how ingeniously, the Allied governments had fooled the peoples of two great democracies, Great Britain and, in particular, the USA. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
@ProPublica The phrase “workforce management actions” is a truthful as Putin's phrase "special military operation" for full scale war against Ukraine. #postruth #propaganda
Timothy Snyder: "Antisemitism" and #Antisemitism: The abuse of the word and the spread of the phenomenon
"Fascism places emotion over reason. Words are to become just tools to achieve the vision of the Leader. In our post-truth world, this takes the very special form of the inversion of meaning: fascists call other people 'fascists' and antisemites call other people 'antisemites.' …"
