The West doesnt believe in evil anymore. They probably won't understand it again unless they experience it. Until then you're not going to be able to convince them russia is evil. You're working from entirely different perspectives. Different language and mindset.
I'm so tired of the Western media publishing an article after an article on the ongoing protests in Georgia where they basically just retell Russian propaganda.
Dear journalists here are some pointers:
- stop calling the despots in power "Georgian government". Their power is ILLEGITIMATE because they RIGGED the elections.
By calling them "Georgian government" you give them legitimacy and make it sound like people protesting in the streets are doing something antidemocratic when in reality people who stole our votes staying in power is what's antidemocratic.
- talking about how protesters are shooting fireworks at riot police without mentioning that this started because riot police is mercilessly beating people up, spraying them from water cannons with cold water mixed with pepper spray (this is forbidden btw) in the height of winter.
A 14 year old boy was stolen from protests last night and beaten up. A 22 year old man is still in coma following the beatings. Not including these points means you are implying that protesters are the violent side here when the very opposite is true.
- stop only covering the "Georgians are protesting because their "government" has put the EU negotiations on hold" angle. The main demand of protesters is that there should be new fair elections so the government will change democratically.
- stop singling out Putin like he's the only evil in Russia. The entirety of Russia is evil, imperialistic and bloodthirsty. Say that.
Honestly, I read articles by the economist, bbc and cnn and just get sadder and sadder because the way these articles are written makes me think that Russian propaganda has truly infiltrated everything and everyone.
#divide between eastern and western europe#east closer to the trauma of evil of soviet and inheritors#the west “won#the cold war#then everything became relative and they loat any values center#oh everything is chaotic and every culture is relative#its all the same!#democracy and dictatorship are all the same!#ppl with privilege see it like this.#forget easily#within a generation#or perhaps WWII is too far#the last time evil existed and was vanquished
