Ha,ha,ha! The world’s biggest liar is afraid of the truth.
The sweet smell of Freedom, away from the decadent West.
Hopefully , by initiating these new laws, Russia’s rulers are pushing society toward what they have been fearing and trying to avoid for years: yet another wave of mass protests.
A vicious cycle that will no doubt bring more repression.
Russia just can’t get away from itself. It has always been an authoritarian country, incapable of democracy.
The Soviet regime introduced a totalitarian trait into its character and now we’re witnessing the highest level of its development so far.
I also recommend this article: https://bojanpepicblog.wordpress.com/2019/11/01/totalitarian-regimes-update-spy-students-in-china/
It’s a nice ilustration how totalitarian regimes are all alike, they are constantly modernizing and developing new high-tech means of surveillance, but they never abandon good old eavesdropping.
It is remarkable how many tools that were used to suppress in the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four are now part of the everyday surveillance regime .
War Is Peace, Freedom Is Slavery, Ignorance Is Strength.
On the other hand, there’s an information overload (Huxley’s prediction) as perhaps even more effective instrument of totalitarian regimes.
So it’s not a lack of information, it’s too much (irrelevant) information that we are bombarded with every day, which results in our complete incapability to distinguish between truth and lie.
