“I hope that the discussion about good Russians and bad Russians will be completed with a short conclusion: a good Russian or just a Muscovite, (Moskal) is a dead Muscovite.” […] “But bad Russians are like that from birth, and you shouldn’t talk about them at all.” Interview with Ex-Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine (2016-2019), Volodymyr Omelyan on Ukrainian Lviv NTA TV channel earlier in 2022. There are so many instances of vile hatred at all levels, here are a couple others:

Government funded bodies saying Russians are impure half castes on Twitter;
Ukrainian ambassador to Germany praising #Azov and other neo-Nazis;
Social media is peppered with these kinds of statements, taken directly from Ukrainian media or social media channels. So, it isn’t Russian propaganda at all, although Western airheads try to convince the public otherwise.

Effectively the goalposts for being Ukrainian have shifted, “to get out” if you can’t accept the new ideologies and historical revisionism put into place after #Maidan. How well would this kind of thinking be accepted if it were applied to French speaking Canadians or French speaking people in Belgium? Or even Hungarian speakers in Slovakia?

In the video, passengers in one of the Odessa minibuses detain a woman who was filming military objects on her phone. As a result, her correspondence with the Russian curator was found in her phone.

This reminds me of Iran in the 80s. Catching those refusing to join the army. It was then I left.

Do not share this or else you will be called Putin supporter.

I was reading this article so I thought maybe they are wrong. Soldiers have always had skulls as symbols should this one be any different so I googled R3ICH

If you really care to look then you can see what I found

R3ICH here so to speak

Is it me or have I seen those symbols on some yellow and blue flag somewhere.

Scroll down and see the company that symbol keeps its not pretty.

No surprise the west is going mad cognitive dissonance starts to blow your mind.

This is happening in every western country. Why

Is a right wing extremist someone who sees the trashing of their culture or country for profit. Are they creating these bogeymen to further divide people.

From the doco can't get you out of my head Adam Curtis put forward the idea that the political class gave away power to the financial system so have little actual power themselves. Is this what is behind the demonisation of sections of the people.

The politicians have no power to change our fate but they can manipulate the people to give the impression they are in control. By creating an extreme group they can then go to war within each country to keep attention away from their failing vision. They will use this internal division to enrich themselves and their supporters.

I read an essay about the local and global. Local is democracy and global is economy or finance. They put forward the idea that you can have a thriving democracy but a lower level of economic output or you can have shiny consumption but at the cost of democracy.

To replace the lost democracy the power over the trivial is given to the people to keep the pretence of power. I think this is what is happening.

Power is held by capital and the continued extraction of wealth and increasing cost of fuel is decreasing the living standards of people. Migration is used to drive down wages and all these things are combining to create disenchanted blocks. The government's are creating the extreme right to drive a wedge between the people to prevent change and maintain compound accumulation of capital.

As the ability to extract wealth decreases the government's will become more desperate and their actions more extreme.

This might become another inquisition with the devil's being in power

This is interesting

I wonder how this will play out. There are several things going on here. One is the finger on the balance of scholarships for woman and the deliberate promotion of woman and the flipside of the ignoring of men. On top of this is the failure of education so only those children with educated parents get a good education.

Then there is the changing job market in that there are lots of jobs in new zealand right now that don't need a higher education.

What will be interesting is what the growing number of woman in tertiary education study? There are still very low numbers in engineering but high numbers in law and education.

Also traditionally University is where more liberal attitudes come to the fore. If less men go there are they less likely to take more liberal path and will their ideas become more conservative.

Our health minister can't say the word fat which is a problem in a country with about 30% of the population being obese.

He can't say the word crisis either or staff shortages or failing standards or backlogs or waiting lists.

In fact I wonder if he can say the word hospital, medicine or health.

He's ex union and was moderately useful in that role now he is just a useless dick who manages the privatisation of a public system for the benefit of those with money.

Inside the Iranian missile attack (2021) | Interviews with U.S. soldiers that survived the missile attack (retaliation for the assassination of Soleimani)

The amount of inaccuracy and #propaganda in this report is truly nauseating. #Iran does not have a long range missile able to carry 500kg of explosives.

The opening of it by the crying Army major is the worst North Korean style propaganda I have ever seen. The reporter's use of "duck and cover" and how badly the poor Johnson was feeling during these "horrible" attacks.

This is what preparation of war means in reality.

The refusal to see people and events as those in other countries see them is a media virus in the West, as debilitating as Covid. It is as if we see the world through a one-way mirror, in which ‘we’ are moral and benign and ‘they’ are not. It is a profoundly imperial view.

John Pilger: Silencing the Lambs. How Propaganda Works

And when will writers stand up, as they did against the rise of fascism in the 1930s? When will film-makers stand up, as they did against the Cold War in the 1940s? When will satirists stand up, as they did a generation ago?
Having soaked for 82 years in a deep bath of righteousness that is the official version of the last world war, isn’t it time those who are meant to keep the record straight declared their independence and decoded the propaganda? The urgency is greater than ever.

How to manipulate people.

We have been graciously given a day off to mourn our beloved Queen, may she rest in peace along with all the other royals, but the day given is our local area anniversary day so we need to decide if we move our other day.

It's only once and won't be an annual affair but to see this you have to read the article not just the headline. It was pointed out to me that most of the Facebook comments on this were by people who clearly didn't read the article. This was interesting because I had been looking at the feeds I get on my phone and the headlines on one of our news sites.

I have concluded that one, people don't read the articles only the headline and two, there is a deliberate policy to mix serious news with pointless trivia and near pornography. What they do is put what they want you to think in the headline and in the first few lines of the article just in case you do click on it. They will put any actual facts near the bottom where they are mostly unread.

They mix the trivia to keep you clicking so you will see something ike "Russia shells nuclear plant" and above and below will be some sport, fashion or music headline. So the person sees the "Russia shelled nuclear plant" but above and below will be some trash gossip. If you read the article the first few lines will repeat the headline but at the very bottom will be some statements saying that both sides are shelling and the information is supplied by the Ukrainian government and is unverified. But they never get near the bottom because Prince Harry got caught in bed with the nanny and that's far more interesting.

I'm using Ukraine because I complained to the news site and they changed the headline but this tactic is used on any item where they want to lead the public to their conclusion. You might say doh we know that! but it has become very clear after covid and now with Ukraine.
