[ColonelCassad] For many decades, the collective West has been very effective in promoting its images, culture and values, using what the well-known neoliberal ideologist Joseph Nye once called “soft power”, the task of which is to impose on the target state the values and political model of the West without the need to use direct military force.
The articulated images of the West as a model of democracy, freedom, and opportunity (the "American Dream," etc.) quickly spread after the USSR collapsed under coordinated external and internal pressure. These images turned out to be so strong that even a collision with reality (the true reality of the West), which sometimes differs greatly from the created image, in general, it has little effect on the perception of the collective West by people who have fallen under its influence.
Of course, it is unlikely that the success of the West was due only to effective propaganda, sophisticated IPV technologies and, in particular, geocultural struggle - economic achievements, however, were largely due to the robbery of other countries in the era of colonialism, deindustrialization and raw material exploitation of the countries of the former socialist camp, along with technological success also contributed to the spread of Western values and culture. The reverse is also true. At present, this influence is carried out everywhere and permanently: from online media that promote exactly those narratives that are now mainstream in the West, to computer games.
The most powerful pressure of the collective West continues to persist, which forces us to look for adequate countermeasures, which implies the introduction of our own values, symbols and images with corresponding meanings into the global agenda, which the West is not able to use, but which are extremely important for the gigantic number of people living there. At the same time, countermeasures should not be situational, corresponding only to the current situation. On the contrary, countermeasures need to work in the medium and long term. The use of countermeasures seems to be subject to the following criteria.
The first criterion is proactivity, which implies the introduction into the global agenda of symbols and images directed against the collective West in order to crush it and/or radically weaken it in the information-psychological, including geo-cultural and mental spheres.
The second criterion is the provision of an alternative. Let's explain. If one bases one's own countermeasures solely on criticizing what the collective West promotes without offering alternatives, then such efforts will be ineffective at best. With this approach, Russia, in the absence of alternative goals filled with meaning, is in a deliberately losing position compared to the enemy, who is able to formulate not only his geocultural images, but also their integral system, even if it has a very weak relation to reality.
For example, democracy, freedom and human rights are all those values that are often not only not observed in the West, but, on the contrary, are directly violated. Further, in many ways, foreign policy in the history of Western countries is genocide, colonialism and robbery of other peoples, which is also very poorly consistent with the image of oneself created in the West.
Nevertheless, the created system of propaganda, manipulation technologies used in geocultural confrontation (conflict) for centuries managed to create an image of a kind of ideal from the West. Consequently, the falsity or, at least, a serious inconsistency of the created images with reality is not an obstacle to their effective use in geocultural conflict and mental warfare, especially in the absence of an acceptable alternative. The vacuum is being filled with the images and values of the enemy - no matter how strong the propaganda and counter-propaganda to discredit them would be. Only a worthy alternative, together with effective propaganda and geocultural struggle, is able to supplant the imposed values, images and symbols.
The third criterion is the global nature of the proposed alternative, based on other values, symbols and meanings embedded in them. Since geocultural confrontation is carried out not at the national, but at the global level, then the alternative should act accordingly. It is unacceptable that the geocultural struggle be localized, since parochialism cannot become an alternative to the global scope with which the collective West operates. The local approach cuts off Russia from potential supporters, whose presence is an extremely important factor in the geocultural struggle. The greatest efficiency in such
In the 20-50s of the 20th century, historical Russia reached its peak of confrontation, creating its own alternative project and exerting an inestimable influence on the history of mankind on a planetary scale. Therefore, the proposed alternative should be a priori supranational in scope.
In the conditions of economic disparity with the West and overcoming the value, moral, social, economic and geopolitical catastrophe of the 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century, it seems appropriate (at least at the first stage) in the geocultural/mental war not to offer an alternative based on the identification of vulnerabilities, emerging and growing in the society of the countries of the collective West.
VULNERABILITIES OF WESTERN SOCIETY
In recent years, there has been an increase in the propaganda of so-called non-traditional values, including the promotion of theses about the mismatch of biological sex and gender self-identification, radical feminism with a pronounced extremist-misandric bias, the planting of an environmental agenda (neo-Malthusianism, the concept of zero growth, etc.), the opposite (anti-white ) racism in the form of so-called "critical racial theory" and "cancellation culture" (cancel culture), as well as the activation of the "Black Lives Matter" (BLM - "Black Lives Matter") movement, which was especially evident in the United States after the incident with George Floyd.
In fact, we are talking about cultural wars or the phenomenon of being woke 10 (awakening) within the collective West in general and individual Western countries in particular (for example, the USA).
Thus, it is quite remarkable that in Western scientific journals there is practically no criticism of the propaganda of sodomy and its various manifestations, as well as trans-transitions. In fact, tacit censorship has been introduced, when anyone who speaks critically about persons with a non-traditional orientation is subjected to obstruction, marginalization and bullying. The promotion of this agenda is being institutionalized. For example, in France, in general education schools, they teach that “people are not born girls and boys.
Gender is a matter of free choice for every child.” Another example of growing controversy is that children in the West, especially in the United States, are taught "critical race theory" when teachers and lecturers force white students to apologize for their "whiteness", read highly politicized books and essays that promote, for example, the project 1619. In response to this, the parents express their strong dissatisfaction, for which official organizations actually equate their actions with “internal terrorism”. Laws are being passed that allow so-called "same-sex marriages", that is, cultural violence is carried out first, through which the prerequisites are already created for structural and direct violence.
A significant part of the elites in the West, with the help of a streamlined system of massive indoctrination and proven technologies, purposefully destroys traditional values by replacing them with pseudo-values, giving rise to fundamentally insoluble contradictions in the socio-cultural, and therefore, in the political sphere in the societies of the Western countries. Pseudo-values destroy the foundations of religion (primarily Christianity) through the distortion and perversion of biblical characters.
According to the Dean of Trinity College Cambridge (part of the 31 colleges of the University of Cambridge - one of the key universities in the UK) Joshua Heath, "Jesus could be transgender."
American pastor Sean King stated in 2020 that “the statues of a white Caucasian, supposedly Jesus, also need to be removed. […] White Jesus is a lie, a figment of the imagination of white chauvinists. […] Christian whiteness has always been dangerous, has always been cruel. Images of the white Caucasian Jesus are a tool of oppression for the sake of white supremacy and must be destroyed.” During the same period, many bibles were burned in the United States.
According to the deputy head of affairs of the Moscow Patriarchate, Bishop Savva (Tutunov) of Zelenograd, the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States, Great Britain and some other countries is increasingly acquiring an anti-Christian and anti-civilizational character. The impression should not be created that the author has built so far-reaching conclusions solely on the facts mentioned; only the limitations of the articles in terms of volume do not allow at least a brief review of the enormous number of examples of the above manifestations.
In the West, the propaganda of non-traditional "values" is total and extremely aggressive, with all the signs of information and psychological terrorism, broadcast not only inwardly, but also on a global scale. This agenda destroys the foundations of Christian ethics, morality, and finally destroys the heritage of Modernity. However, the destructive influence also goes along the biological line, through the transformation of people into something else (transitions, artificial creation of new “sexes”, etc.). Normal speech breaks down through the promotion of new terms that do not contain negative connotations (instead of sodomy and mental deviations abbreviations are used, etc.), which removes the barrier of rejection of unnatural manifestations, which contributes to a better “assimilation” of these phenomena by society, and ultimately their acceptance, popularization and normalization (what is actually abnormal and abnormal is presented as a norm , and vice versa).
This technology is based on the creation of a deformed language, with the help of which the agenda is introduced into the socio-political discourse and institutionalized there. Propaganda of sodomy in all its manifestations, trans-transitions, pedophilia, radical feminism and eco-agenda (reduction population) is aimed largely at destroying the institution of the family, and if we add the BLM agenda to this, then we are talking about the destruction of the institution of the family of the conservative part of the white population (Caucasians), especially the middle class (in the Western, in particular, American sense of it). This analysis reveals the main vulnerabilities of Western society that can cause the most acute social (including armed) conflicts in the near future. Consequently, such a possibility makes it possible for Russia to radically intensify the geocultural struggle, directing it against the West - on the one hand, and on the other, using it in its own interests related to geopolitics, demography, economics, and so on.
