Caitlin Johnstone 2 Aug 22, If someone criticizing the most dangerous agendas of the most powerful and destructive government on earth looks like "Russian propaganda" or "Chinese propaganda" to you, it's because you yourself have been brainwashed by propaganda.
The western propaganda campaign against China is succeeding, even among many who consider themselves anti-war or critical of establishment power. Whatever sick future agendas they're manufacturing consent for, they'll be able to roll right on out. People's brains are turning to soup.

The best case scenario for Nancy Pelosi's Taiwan visit — the absolute best case — is that it ratchets up cold war tensions with China that threaten us all and benefit ordinary people in no way. The worst case scenario is as bad as anything you can possibly imagine.
So why are we being told that it's still happening? Well, as Antiwar's Dave DeCamp reminded us a few months ago, one major factor is that it facilitates US military expansionism geared toward encirclement strategies against China.
"The United States no longer sees Taiwan as a 'problem' in our relations with China, we see it as an opportunity to advance our shared vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific," Raymond Greene, the deputy director of the de facto US embassy in Taipei, said last year.
Imagine if the Democratic Party fought against Republicans as hard as they fight against world peace........
Taiwan is a US military asset, not a US ally. That's a very significant difference that everyone, especially the Taiwanese, would do well to keep in mind.........
It's a safe bet that a minority of Americans could find Taiwan on a map, and that of these the overwhelming majority believe it's just some island nation that China randomly decided it hates.......
There needs to be a major war every generation or two, otherwise peace becomes normalized and becomes the expectation. If you allow that to happen then war begins to stand out against expected norms like the freakish abomination that it is, and militarism looks insane.
They use propaganda to facilitate war, but they also use war to facilitate propaganda. Keeping the wars going helps the propaganda machine spin war as something normal and expected and to be continuously prepared for. It acts as an immunosuppressant against the public's natural, healthy rejection of war. The more normalized war becomes, the more suppressed our collective immune system's rejection of it becomes.
War is the absolute worst thing in the world. It's the most insane thing humans do. The most destructive. The least sustainable. The most conducive to human suffering. Only by very aggressive narrative management can the public be dissuaded from insisting on peace.......................
