Oh wow. So we're at this stage already.
One under-appreciated part of this article is the bit where China spending little on its military is proof that it's a tyrannical horror in need of regime change.
The article, written by a former British diplomat, is essentially one long argument that China is evil and needs regime change because it refuses to act civilized and let billionaires take over the country.
Psycho Bill agrees:

World's Most Tyrannical Regime Can't Stop Babbling About "Human Rights"

"Which is very silly, considering the fact that the US government is the single worst human rights abuser on planet Earth. And it's not even close."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/worlds-most-…
Like all US secretaries of state, Tony Blinken spends his time claiming that other nations abuse human rights, and that it is America's duty to defend those rights. Which is very silly, considering the fact that the US government is the single worst human rights abuser on earth. Image
There is no other government that is circling the planet with hundreds of military bases and working to destroy any nation which disobeys it via invasion, proxy wars, blockades, economic warfare, staged coups, and covert operations.

Hard to blame people for believing dumb conspiracy theories about the powerful, seeing how proven conspiracies by the powerful are far worse. The conspiracy of the US power alliance to slaughter children in Yemen (and lie about it) is far worse than the QAnon stuff, for example.
MSM propaganda is another example. Wealthy elites and government agencies are indeed conspiring to manipulate the thoughts of the entire population; this is a fact that has been studied and documented for decades. It happens in a mundane way, but it's a huge, creepy conspiracy.
I mean, just think about it: powerful elites are engaging in mass-scale mind control to justify murder and genocide around the world. This is a fact. The only reason it doesn't give people the thrill of 5G nanobot mind control conspiracies or whatever is because we're used to it.

Biden Lied About Yemen

"We are being lied to about yet another US war by yet another US president."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/biden-lied-a…
The Biden administration has finally admitted that the US is providing offensive material support to Saudi Arabia's genocidal assault on Yemen, directly contradicting Biden's February claim that it would no longer be providing offensive support in that war

It's not just mainstream politics and news media, it's the entirety of mainstream culture: all its movies, books, music, values systems, ideals. It's all inseparably intertwined with the sick status quo we now find ourselves in and the manufactured worldviews which consent to it.
Teenagers understand this better than adults. There's an intuitive rejection of mainstream culture; it feels weird and dissonant. Adults make fun of them for it; "Ooh, it's not alternative enough for you?", but that rejection is arising from a very healthy impulse.
Mainstream culture SHOULD be rejected, because it's what got us into this mess. It's sick. The instinct to reject it is as healthy as the immune system's instinct to attack a pathogen.

The Day The World Ended

"Then it happened. A nuclear weapon was deployed by one side, setting off a chain reaction that had been set in place ready to be triggered long ago, from which there was no coming back.
And the funny thing is, it was an accident."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/the-day-the-…
The day the world ended began like any other day. People woke up, had their coffee, checked their social media, kissed their loved ones, went to work.
Nobody knew it was coming. The news reporters and pundits hadn't been informing them that the US and its allies had been simultaneously ramping up aggressions against two nuclear-armed nations in a way that could easily lead to something going catastrophically wrong.

There's no point admonishing the mainstream press for the public's plummeting trust in it. It can't change. A thing that has only ever existed to administer propaganda can't suddenly become journalism, and humanity's relationship with narrative is going to continue to fall apart.
Don't tell the mainstream press to do their job. They ARE doing their job. They're doing it perfectly. It's just that their job isn't what you thought it was. Don't say "Do your job!" Say "It sucks that I used to think you tell us the truth about what's happening in our world."
The MSM are completely and utterly irredeemable, and always have been. It's a waste of energy to try and get plutocratic propaganda institutions to suddenly begin doing journalism; that's not what they're for. Instead, teach people to stop seeing them as journalistic outlets.
