Same thing is happening to India before our eyes.
Thing is, the Western view that media is free inherently makes people more susceptible to propaganda. To be more precise, Western media has achieved a few things: (1) The illusion of media freedom makes people less likely to question the media they consume. (2) The profit-driven motive of media companies makes it more likely for facts to be “reinterpreted” to better fit the target reader’s worldview. (3) The extent that government agencies are involved in media has been completely hidden from the public.
I mean, it’s not like Chinese people are stupid. We know what’s wrong with society in mainland China, but we also see all the benefits that it’s brought. The fact that it isn’t talked about doesn’t mean that everyone’s bought into government propaganda, it just means that people are on average happy enough to not bother with it.
Flipping the firewall is easy. Going to Taiwan or Hong Kong is easy. Emigrating is easy.
Just because someone isn’t white doesn’t mean that they’re stupid ffs
They can’t, but it looks good without Britain having to toss more money at the dumpster fire.
Hundreds, thousands, millions. It’s all the same because people died and the people that died weren’t white.
This is indeed me
Caps on Russian oil price, restoration of original Ukraine borders, prosecution of Russian “war criminals”
It’s what you’d expect from a country that’s completely winning the war and not stuck in a stalemate while losing support
Well, yeah. Obviously not wanted anymore, since they got him lol.
What if the state itself doesn’t follow those laws?
What evidence do you want to see about a state-sponsored assassination? It’s happened twice now and you think it’s an accident?

Just yesterday.
The laws of Western states that the West only selectively follows? Gee…
I’m happy to move over from programming.dev to lemmy.ml
Sweet of you to think that
Thanks for your contribution!
Ah yes, because everything you do is to meet societal needs and not to make more money for the 1%. That’s why 34% of wealth in Canada goes to the top 1%.
The US has shown that they’re willing to weaponize their position in the West to block development of technology by key rivals like Russia, China, and India. The dependence that these powers had on Western technology is a key motivator against war… But today? If the US can unilaterally restrict access anyway, what’s the motivation?
The globalization of the economy has been the single greatest contributor to world peace since the second world war.
Sanctions haven’t worked before, why would it work now?
America’s willingness to toss sanctions around willy-nilly is single-handedly destroying globalism and creating a multipolar world.
I mean, that’s the entire point, right? Media doesn’t exist to show the truth, it exists to manufacture consent for some policy direction. If media was supposed to be factual, it wouldn’t be funded by biased actors and it wouldn’t have an incentive structure that rewards profits more than factual reporting.
