Today Mark Taliano posted this. I concur without reservation and invite those with a different view to argue it in the comments section or, by arrangement, in a guest post.
What am I thinking?
What am I thinking. I am going to talk about the stupidity of Western masses for a moment. It gives me no pleasure.
The West and its allies just installed an internationally proscribed terrorist organization to replace the elected government of a UN member state. But according to Western idiots Assad is the bad guy. 1
The West has supported and does support nazism and genocidal ethnic nationalism to depose the elected President of Ukraine, to genocide ethnic Russians in east Ukraine, to try to impose NATO membership despite warnings, to defy all peace efforts, to invade Russia, and to provoke interminable warfare with constant flows of weaponry etc. 2 But according to Western idiots Putin is the bad guy.
Then there’s Gaza. Western-supported Zionists have been committing GENOCIDE there for over a year. It is a continuation of apartheid and settler colonialism all supported in full by the West. But according to Western idiots Palestinians, men, women and children trapped and being mass-murdered, are the bad guys. 3
We live in dark times of mass idiocy, mass criminality, mass evil.
The idiocy is all fabricated by Western agencies but there is no valid excuse for on-going ignorance and evil.

Western education, TV and newspapers have given the masses a false view of the world for decades or longer. Most people in North America and Europe – and in my little south-eastern corner of the ‘western’ world, Australia – broadly believe what they are told by mass media, even if they doubt some of the detail. They are convinced that the Chinese people are living under Xi Jinping’s jackboot, that Putin is an evil warmonger, that the USA is imperfect but better than the rest. Many of them still believe, even, that Israel is rightly defending itself against sub-human terrorist Palestinians. They accept as unfortunate mistakes the West’s political and humanitarian disasters in Vietnam, Iraq, Libya and so many more countries that became unfortunate recipients of our freedom and democracy medicine. Stupid, perhaps, but, more important, grotesquely misled by powerful factions who benefit from wars and chaos. And, just as important, powerless to change anything in a system where all the aces – propaganda, law, technology, and military muscle – are with the establishment.
I agree.
