The US power alliance is rapidly escalating its aggressions against Russia and China. A massive peace movement is more necessary now than it has ever been, but it's not going to happen as long as westerners are propagandized into believing the US alliance is not the aggressor.
People aren't going to protest their government's actions if they believe their government is responding appropriately to unprovoked foreign hostilities. Right now the entire western media are devoted to forcefully promoting that narrative. Domestic propaganda prevents peace.
We're not going to get de-escalation, diplomacy and detente unless the people use the power of their numbers to demand those things, and the people are not going to use the power of their numbers to demand those things as long as they are successfully propagandized not to.
This means propaganda is the ultimate problem that needs to be addressed. Ordinary people can only address it by waking the public up to the fact that the political/media class are lying to them about what's happening with Russia and China, using whatever means we have access to.
So that's what we need to do. We need to fight the imperial disinformation campaign using information. Tell people the truth using every medium available to us to sow distrust in the imperial propaganda machine, because propaganda only works if you don't know it's happening.
Our rulers are always babbling about how they're fighting an "information war" against enemy nations, but in reality they're fighting an information war against normal westerners like us. So we must fight back. We need to cripple public trust in the propaganda machine and awaken.
