Reflections on war propaganda

I told myself that I wasn’t going to listen to these “think tanks” for a while. I guess I wasn’t ready, as the following angered me. This is just normal thinking inside “The Blob,” though.

Demonizing the enemy, demonization of the enemy or dehumanization of the enemy is a propaganda technique which promotes an idea about the enemy being a threatening, evil aggressor with only destructive objectives.

Observation/Rant: The Blob

I was listening to Daniel Davis and Ben Hodges, last night. There’s a point where Hodges calls Russians, “animals.” Davis doesn’t even pushback! It’s happened before, when Davis was on a radio show and the host used an ethnic slur when referring to Chinese people. I commented on that one, about the host being racist, as no one else had. This time I didn’t, as others were calling him out on it. That and I really wanted to cuss because it was Hodges. I hate biting my tongue, sometimes, because people like Hodges deserve my wrath!

It shows that despite some people not being fooled by “Russiagate,” they’re still fooled by “Chinagate.” Another thing that it shows is how the foreign policy establishment (AKA The Blob) thinks, including Davis (don’t forget that he’s with Defense Priorities). It all stinks of racism to me!

The racist “Asiatic horde” trope

I still haven’t forgotten the articles like this one during Russiagate (the one that I linked to is by a Ukrainian-born Italian). I had a subscription to either the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal and cancelled it after Alexander of The Duran mentioned a similar article.

The 1932 Bonus Army

How did the army troops feel about doing this? One claimed, “We hate this more than they do, but they brought it on themselves.”
