Assange Exposes The Empire’s True Face: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
AUTHOR: CAITLIN JOHNSTONEThe #
Overton #
window has been shifted so far in support of #
NATO #
warmongering that this middle-ground position is now regarded as fringe extremism, so they just debate things like whether or not cluster bombs should be used to fight this #
war_ that is obviously 10000% Russia’s fault_. As is often the case this dynamic has already been well-described by the elderly scholar who we all love to share our #
opinions about:
“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum — even encourage the more critical and #
dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time
the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.”
~ Noam Chomsky
