Hostage Societies: Propaganda and State Crimes
Lately, it feels like we’re all trapped in a system we didn’t choose. The more I think about it, the more I realize how societies are held hostage by the crimes of their own states. Propaganda isn’t just about misinformation; it’s about controlling how we see the world, about shaping our reality so that we don’t question the violence and injustice that happen in our name. It’s terrifying how easily this control is exerted, and how little resistance there is to it. We become complicit, not just through silence, but through the narratives we are fed. It’s like being in a psychological prison, where the walls are built from lies, half-truths, and distractions. And the worst part? Most of us don’t even realize we’re trapped.
