Part of it is to create and push a code of morality on your populace, then control the narrative so that way your side is always doing what’s morally good, and the enemy is doing whatever is morally bad. That’s why media control is so tight. Not just news, but every facet of entertainment reinforces our prescribed education of an artificial worldview. I could write a book on the anticommunist indoctrination put into children and family shows, and then those demographics start learning from one-sided history books, and then they’re exposed to biased news and propagandic documentaries. And that’s just the “neutral” liberal shit that’s considered progressive or inclusive, enlightened, pacifist, etc. When you get into the hardcore shit like conservative media, military propaganda video games, etc., it’s even more apparent.

I found the mask off racism with the Russia thing a shock, but I was expecting it with Palestine. I grew up with this shit during the Iraq War and War on Terror. I thought we’d learned, but the anti-China shit was obnoxious. Then with Russia. Then Iran. By the time it’s gotten back to Palestine, I’ve come to realize that it’s never about a specific group being targeted. It’s about ensuring a specific group stays dominant, and cutting any others who dare oppose them down. They all pretend to care about human rights until the oppressed fight back, then they only care about colonizers and tyrants.
