When you look at the tactics and rhetoric used by globalist liberals in countries across the world, you realize how unoriginal it all is.

It's always the same. But there is a reason for that.

1) The simplicity of the messages (fascist! dictator! corrupt!) allows for repetition.
Because the messages are simple, even the dumbest people can repeat them with ease. That's why you'll see purportedly smart people using the same messaging: their target is the mob who will take the message and run with it.
They label personae non gratae (i.e. people who don't agree with their worldview) and call them these names instead of engaging in any substantive dialogue or debate because their interest is power, not truth.

The psychology here is pernicious...
By labeling someone a fascist, dictator, corrupt, or a supporter of these things you created out of thin air, engaging in debate with these people is itself an act of complicity and thus cannot be done.

2) The repetition of these attacks also creates familiarity...
When a message is widespread, it becomes familiar. We're programmed to like what's familiar so we're more likely to adopt the familiar (and easy) message instead of the one(s) that would require us to take the more difficult path of thinking critically...
3) The familiarity and spread then creates broad solidarity, even beyond otherwise separate societies.

This amplifies the appearance of support - and actual support - in a social media world where public sentiment is measured by social media activity...
So, it allows an activist in Armenia to feel solidarity with an activist in Belarus who feels solidarity with an activist in Russia.

And to participate by liking, sharing, and commenting.

They're all fighting against fascism, dictatorship, and corruption, after all, right?
It works like a charm.

If you look at the tactics and rhetoric of countries across the world where "democracy" arrived, the people bringing it were always fighting against corruption by dictators supported by fascists...
And what's more, even though these guys pretend like they're diehard democrats, are they really when they all come to power (or try) through mass protest that always represent only a fraction of the populace and through what they call peaceful means like...
...blocking roads and other infrastructure that others use to get to work so they can feed their families?

In fact, they're using force but the force is diffused through the people they've gathered in the public square and the ones they operate online. But it is still force.
How do you make sure you're not a tool in this game?

Well, just ask yourself: when you comment on the political issues of a country, whether yours or another, do you actually know the things you're saying to be true? ...
Or are you just repeating something that someone else said, whether a TV pundit, a PhD, or your dad?

It's often the latter and we don't know it for the reasons I stated above. ...
This is how we get protests and revolutions and people supporting ideas and people otherwise repugnant to their own worldviews, beliefs, and values.

Think critically. It makes for a harder life, but also one that is more meaningful.
