How rational are human beings & how susceptible are we to propaganda?
- In Georgia we know the overwhelming majority of the democratically elected government support the NGO transparency law (83 in favour vs 23 against).
- Yet, the media shows some pictures of protests and we are ready to redefine democracy as the rule of a loud Western-backed minority to support intimidations, sanctions and a coup.
- The Georgian government expresses concerns about US efforts to topple the government to use their country as a second front against Russia.
- Yet, the political-media elites sell it as a choice between "democracy" and a "Russian law", and we believe we are on the virtuous side in a struggle between good and evil.
- The same was done to Ukraine in 2014. Our governments and our "NGOs" backed an unconstitutional coup against a democratically elected government and the coup was only supported by a minority of Ukrainians.
- Yet, it was sold to us as "pro-Ukrainian" and a "democratic revolution" so we supported it without any critical debate.
- But we are told propaganda only happens in the countries we are taught to hate.
