John Pilger, the renowned Australia-born investigative journalist who was a trenchant critic of the West’s “imperialist” foreign policy, has died at age 84.
I know him best from this lecture.
Propaganda in liberal democracies like America and Britain is much more thorough than in dictatorships and totalitarian states. […] [T]he conformity of information and opinion is insidious. Its sameness implicit, ingrained, and even celebrated.
Aw, damn. Worst news of 2024 so far.
I would use his documentary The War on Democracy to convince people of US foreign policy not caring about democracy but actually being imperialist, capitalist dogshit while Chavez and Castro are radical chads.
RIP
