Ukraine-Russia War – Step Back From the Factory of Consent in Which the Propaganda Wants To Place You

It's time to take responsibility for your choices.

Even before the war between Ukraine and Russia started, a propaganda war had already started for several weeks. Beyond the conflict, you can even see that a propaganda war has been going on forever. But in the context of this conflict, it is something that had to appear more visibly to the general public.

If you take a step back as I try to do from time to time, you will see that we are being manipulated by the mainstream media or Big Tech constantly. You might think I'm being abusive by saying constantly, but unfortunately, that's the case.

To not fall victim to this propaganda, whether it comes from one side or the other, you should probably ask yourself how you can make yourself less receptive to these manipulations. Before you do that, I think you should first try to understand why the manipulators are doing this and what they are trying to get from us.

Whatever the situation, I urge you to always look at both sides of the narrative. You absolutely must look at both sides to better protect yourself from this propaganda. Because this propaganda comes from the East of course, but also the West.

And the media is constantly repeating the propaganda pushed by the powerful at the head of the current system. This propaganda aims to shape your opinion, and it ends up working on the vast majority of the general public. So it is extremely difficult to get out of this trap to build your own opinions.

So my advice is simple. Take a step back and look at the official propaganda coming from the different stakeholders. From the different elements of propaganda, you will have to make a fine analysis to remove the differences and see where the common parts can be found. In this way, you will arrive at the fundamentals and the original causes by dint of hard work.

You will be able to make the right assumptions about what creates certain situations. You will then be able to relate your assumptions to facts and data. By basing your opinions on facts and data, you have a much better chance of not having your opinions shaped by the mass media and Big Tech.

You will no longer be an echo chamber repeating what you are led to believe, but someone who stands out. You will no longer let your emotions guide you because, in reality, this is what the powerful people of the current system want. Whether they are from the East or the West, they are all looking for the same thing with their people.

These leaders want you to follow them, preferably blindly.

The more blindly you follow them in what they decide, the better it is for them. And many people fall into this trap by adopting a “Follow the leader” mentality. The reason why a majority of people prefer to blindly follow leaders rather than think for themselves? They don't want to take responsibility for their choices!

It is too much of a burden for some. However, it is a necessity to get out of the trap of the current system. In this system, you elect a leader who will then tell you how to live, protect you, and even think. This will take away the responsibility you don't want to take, but it won't solve your problems.

To get their power, and then maintain it, these leaders will have to keep the masses scared all the time. And this is done through propaganda. That propaganda is a consent factory when you think about it. You can see that things are accelerating very quickly right now. We go from crisis to crisis. The moments of respite are getting shorter and shorter.

We were just coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic (and still we are not safe from new waves) when a new crisis falls on us: the war between Ukraine and Russia.

If you think about it, you could even compare these leaders of the world's great powers to gang leaders who wage their internal wars to maintain their power over their members, namely the people. These leaders oppose each other, create conflict, which increases fear. And this fear is very useful for the leaders because it is what keeps the people under constant pressure.

The more the people are afraid, the greater their consent to their leaders. This only reinforces the “Follow the leader” mentality.

The problem is that this mentality leads us to an abyss. Whether it is financial or nuclear war. The bad choices of the leaders we choose to blindly follow by refusing to take full responsibility for our decisions are leading us to this deplorable situation.

Final Thoughts

What I urge you to do is to remove yourself from this propaganda war by taking responsibility for your choices. This means taking a step back to be able to build your own opinions and see things for yourself. Try to get some perspective on events so that you are no longer a mere follower, but a real actor.

Once you have taken this decisive step, pass the message on to the people around you so that this factory of consent can no longer act negatively on our world.
