Propaganda does not work because there is a shortage of information, but because people do not know what source is true. A professional fraudster is often able to arouse confidence.
For many years I have been watching the Russian media form a cloud of anti -Norivee views. Suppose local media appears to be honest news that there are problems with butter in Norway. However, these problems do not occur in a situation of complete poverty, local supermarkets do not resemble a desert at all. On the contrary, there are so many products that half do not have time to eat! However, a Russian, confident that Norway is a couple of houses on an ice floe, multiplies his delusions by Russian reality. What, indeed, should there be a state of the country, even if such nonsense as butter, no?! In the Russian outback there is, but they have no in Norway!
There is an honest news that the minister attended primary school and participated in a sexual education lesson to prevent violence against children. The Russian portal, supposedly specializing in Russian-Norwegian friendship, immediately writes that Norwegian kids will "teach incest." The remaining articles on the site are neutral, "for the background".
A video interview with the odious Irina Bergset, the coordinator of the Russian Mother Movement, under the name "How Norway lives", collects prizes of audience sympathy. Reiting Russian -speaking compatriots, of course, are the machinations of enemies: the Russian wants to believe in the future invasion of pedophiles on Scandinavia, as well as that there are no toilets in Norwegian houses.
In a tiny town in Southern Norway, seasonal flood often occurs. Local television channels can show the plot with the mistress who wanders waist -deep in the water, demonstrating which corner of the yard flooded more. A flood or herring can wash off a house standing in an extremely strange place - in a cliff or so cooler that it is not clear how the structure was generally held by the previous hundred years. These same personnel, but already on the Russian television channel, will indicate that Norway will inevitably wash into the ocean. The Russian reads one -day news "South Norway suffered from flooding" and projects information to the whole south of Russia, multiplies for several months, supplements with Russian lack of rights and hopelessness. The picture is really joyless.
Outgoing Brayvik hit the Russian land and miraculously turns into an exponent of the General Information idea. Paradoxically, the Breivik argument is important both for opponents of Russian nationalism and for its supporters. Opponents say: “Look how this Norway lives, continuous neo -Nazis!”, Supporters say: “Norway considers migrants a problem, equal to the north!” These speculations are especially ridiculous now, when, during the largest humanitarian disaster, tens of thousands of Norwegians offer their homes to place refugees from the countries of the Middle and Middle East, when shares in collecting clothing and money go continuously, when the Norwegians go out into the streets with demands for their government to provide more assistance to the unfortunate.
Taxes, which are high in Norway only for the rich, are presented as something incredible. No, here they do not take away all the bloody money from people here. Not only does tax revenues are transparent, controlled by society and significantly affect the improvement of the social sphere, charity in Norway - the general rule. The rich sacrifice their conditions for public needs, invest capital in the development of the country.
A professor of physics gives five million kroons to tourist signs in the mountains. Pensioners at their own expense install benches for vacationers in parks. A millionaire helps to build a city botanical garden. Examples, of course, are countless. The society is arranged reasonably, most of the Norwegians have a high standard of living and can participate in such civic activity.
But how is the information about the tax of 35-65% of the grandmother from Kostroma perceived? Of course, she expects this tax based on her usual 4,000 rubles per month. Indeed, it’s hard not to be horrified! But low -income families in Norway receive social benefits. There are no bribes, education in schools and universities for Norwegian children is free, treatment of children is also free.
Antije-propaganda is done, for example, so. The journalist of Channel One Anton Chechulinsky watches my film, shot on the Bergen Pride, uses those frames on which children can be seen, and, combining with another stolen on the Internet or distortedly translated by their own material, creates an eight -minute report on the fall of the Scandinavian customs. The Russian believes the first channel, believes that children's gay parades are held in Norway. The fact that children always participate in any human rights actions in Norway and have a high level of civil consciousness from an early age, Russians are unknown. Gay-grade is primarily a human rights action.
The lack of personal experience on the issue is, in fact, the reinforced concrete argument for silence on the topicThe Orthodox figure, xenophobe and the faithful reader of my blog Bergen hare Lyudmila Ryabichenko creates mosaic texts and radio broadcasts on the topic "Bergen - the city of sodomia and incest", playing the difference in the cultural and religious traditions of peoples. With the help of propaganda spells, Norway turns into a third-rate trash somewhere on an ice floe. Russia - in comparison with my new homeland - in the tales of propaganda looks like a paradise and a moral stronghold.
Of course, Russian sites also publish refutations, but this happens much later. Refutations are either not replicated by support sites, or they are written in the way that yes, we lied to lie, but there is still no smoke without fire.
The Russians did not notify the end of the Cold War, and they - under the leadership of the Russian Foreign Ministry - continue to conduct an invisible fight with unknown enemies, inventing the reasons for which it is possible to postpone their own real problems. It is more convenient to distribute anti -Western views that the listener, most likely, will never go to the dangerous country of H. Norway, in principle, few people in Russia can afford. The lack of personal experience on the issue is, in fact, the reinforced concrete argument for silence on the topic.
If a neighbor-Norwegia is not available to Russians, then what can we say about the United States! Disputes about the United States are now leading people who have never been to the ocean, have no idea that the USA is very large, that laws and the situation are different there from state to state. The same applies to the Arab countries, India, China, Australia, Africa countries ...
The Ministry of Truth is formed by a general defective idea of the foreign world, and this is enough for Vasya from Nizhny Tagil (from where all rivers flow and where they freeze) or from Moscow (in which the bears walk along the streets), he prudently did not seek to travel. This does not prevent him from discussing the universal financial crisis, the inevitability of the third world, the policy of the White House.
The Ministry of Truth maintains chronic readiness for war. There is a good book , The History of Discompleted in the USSR , which tells how the spots of fresh prominent blood appeared on Moscow conscience. This blood does not dry out, it moisturizes the unsteady foundation of the Moscow government. Modern propagandists have already protected the peoples of the Caucasus, now they are in the process of protecting Ukraine and are responsible for millions of Syrian refugees. The legion of embassy compatriots, still sitting in all countries of the world under the posters "talker - find for a spy!" Or the hovering Orthodox craftsmen, lives a dedicated sausage life in the rear of the enemy, distributes St. George ribbons, works for future wars.
I would very much like, talking to me, Russian -speaking acquaintances to stop demonstrating their knowledge of the country using the keywords "Breivik", "Incest" and "Taxes", so that people with psi heads disappear from Russian mental cards.
To the question "who to believe" there is no simple answer. Not everyone can go and see the world. But everyone can read the international press and speak with real people in other countries through Facebook-even using online translators.
To draw your own conclusions, as at all times, you must have a very, very many independent sources of information. But it is also important to be an independent source of information - not to lie, not to transmit lies. If you want to repeat something heard from another person, think about whether it is possible to check this information. Do you have the opportunity to check what I wrote now?
A critical attitude to information is a universal tablet from infection with propaganda.
