Jonas Schaible | The mirror
We are in a new era of propaganda – Tough political debate (last accessed on 18.23.2024, 23.28 p.m.)
“It sounds like Weimar and the Cold War, like times long gone - but propaganda is back. This is changing politics and our society. It's high time to admit that nothing is as it once was. …
Fortunately, there is a very simple way to decide, in many cases, with little effort and with a high degree of accuracy, who is likely to be serious about advocating for free speech and who is not.
Anyone who is serious will of course sometimes say: It is important that other opinions have their say - for example this one with which I do not agree.
Anyone who doesn't mean it seriously, who makes propaganda, always says: It's important that other opinions have their say - mine."
A very readable essay by Jonas Schaible, which makes me think back to the good old days with the mirror in my hands.
I was not yet familiar with the term “authoritarian international”. I think he hits the spot.
