> good person That's the worst part - the 'good' and 'evil' in such situations are being religiously definded just like how 'the faithful' and 'heretics' were defined back in the earlier ages when religion dominated the society. Everyone is either 'with us' or 'against us', ie, a heretic. And being heretic is so easy - you just need to contradict whatever is the dominant thing at a given moment and you are outcast. Just like how it was in the earlier ages. Take the Stone case: 80% of the world opposes the American viewpoint on Russia and 'Putin', and 'the West' is isolated in this affair like how various Angloamerican outlets recently noted. https://www.politico.eu/article/west-more-united-also-isolated-war-ukraine-russia-nato/ https://www.politico.eu/article/west-more-united-also-isolat... I actually watched Stone's Putin interviews. What Russian leaders and Putin have communicated in those interviews were quite rational arguments, and actually, their statements about American imperialism, NATO etc are how precisely the rest of the world sees 'the West'. But, in an amazing case study for social sciences, the public in especially the Angloamerican West are !extremely! enthusiastic in whatever 'current thing' and whichever 'current enemy' that their establishment sells them. A gigantic gap in how this 'West' sees itself, what it believes what the rest of the world thinks, and what the rest of the world actually thinks. But then again, this is not so different from what was observed in the UK during the Brexit process...
