Blocking...Censorship...Freedoms...

If it's not the state banning sites it's the FBI/CIA employee algorithmic control of Facebook/Twitter...if it's not either of these its the monetising controls inherent in capitalist advertising used as leverage.

Clausowtz said on the Fog of war: "War is the realm of uncertainty; three quarters of the factors on which action in war is based are wrapped in a fog of greater or lesser uncertainty"

-They understand if we don't know whats really going on then the actions they want to take can all be painted in a positive light...so they create for us that "fog of uncertainty" so we cannot dispute their assertions because they have removed from the public any access to any alternative factual input.

All this censorship and obfuscation is of course also a tacit admission that we: their own populations, are as much the "enemy" as Russia.

I thought that Southfront's reportage on the Syrian war was exemplary but the Ukrainian civil war coverage has been all but unwatchable. Masturbatory music added to videos of aeroplanes firing missiles or tanks destroying Ukronazis isn't for me, even with the sound off. It has felt like lowest common denominator stuff.

-It always had a bit of that "tabloid-you-tube" tendency...I switched off early in the war.
