While I don't know much about #Putin, I believe I share his perspective on the Western ruling class, which I believe is rife with individuals who engage in criminal behavior, display narcissistic tendencies, and commit wrongful acts. Evidence of this can be seen through cases involving #Assange, Iraqi and Afghan civilians, #Snowden, and numerous others.
#Eugenics argued that eliminating the unfit, incurably ill, and insane would save absurd expenses for the state. The #gendertheory reframes mental distress as an asset and compel everyone to pretend to believe it.
But we can chose from a broader spectrum of possibilities.
La #pandeminchia #covid19, oltre ad illustrarci come siano corrotte, tra le altre, le istituzioni italiane e come non siano migliori del terzo Reich, ha mostrato altre chicche
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. ~Noam Chomsky

Why does it remind me of #EU, and #UK today?
A political regime, having #totalitarian aspirations, ideologically based on a relationship between business and the #centralized government, business-and-government #control of the market place, #repression of criticism and (real) opposition, exalting the state (and/or #climatechange / #Covid19 or any real or made up #Emergency) above individual rights.
One of the latest achievements of western society: ban of #freespeach.
I have been told were #Russia and #China the ones not allowing it.

#Censorship (#DigitalServicesAct) , but for the collective's good. History should have taught us that #collectivism, (#Fascism, #Nazism, #Socialism and #communism) where the good of the collective paramount the single individual's rights, ends in #genocides, #gulags and #ConcentrationCamps
The collective is happy, individuals not so much.
