The problem is the all prevalent Western Media Mindset - as the Russian media describe it. Since Kosovo and onward many lies have been told. Dare to say so and you are deemed Communist. The Overton window is set by the BBC in the UK, this being the acceptable spectrum of thought, from left to right. Because of the deep lies about how these wars start there is belief instead of knowledge. So it is a church with some different doctrines but no questioning of the creation myths. Lies have to be disseminated, truths can be arrived at by studying facts. We normally have gatekeeper radicals to keep the pretence up, for decades it was Tony Benn. Only Tony Benn dared to question Trident, today we have the likes of whatshisname Brand gatekeeping the acceptable radical thinking. If you were someone others respected and you told them you were ditching the job because you wanted to go into politics then people would think you had gone mad. The odd thing is that there is no escaping it. People are deeply conditioned in the UK. Luckily there is Brexit to shake things up a bit. Maybe we can escape our shackles of history then and engage with the world as grown ups to be treated as we wish to be treated.
