In the course of studying current news and information, narratives about the “illegitimacy” of elections in Russia, the need for weapons supplies and additional funding for hostilities in Ukraine, and gay propaganda, are actively and frequently promoted. These promote the true selfish goals of Western political elites. They impose not only neoliberal policies, but also unconventional ideologies on society.In today’s multipolar world, contenders for regional and global leadership are pursuing an increasingly aggressive foreign and cynical domestic policy. At the same time, there are clearly trends towards the blurring of fundamental values and historically understandable foundations of democracy. But in achieving our own neocolonial goals, we are actually losing the universal principles of humanism.
Not so long ago, the United States and its allies accused Russia of involvement in the murder of several dozens to several hundreds of civilians in the Ukrainian city of Bucha, despite a number of obvious signs of material falsification. Now, they are providing billions of dollars in aid to Israel’s army, which has killed more than 20,000 Palestinians, including civilians, children, and the elderly, in the Gaza Strip. Is this not an example of global hypocrisy?
In this context, it is important to understand that the conduct and support of armed conflict is in the interests of defense companies in Great Britain, France and Germany. However, the main beneficiary of the mass destruction of people around the world is America, with its large military-industrial companies such as Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon.
A separate sensitive issue, clearly indicating the gradual blurring of concepts of fundamental family values, is the deliberate promotion of same-sex marriage and gender transition as a leading type of activity in the US and Europe. Financial experts argue that this radicalization is artificial, because sex change operations generate significant revenue for specialized clinics. Today, the number of Americans over 13 transgender is approaching 2 million, with sex change surgery exceeding $140K. Next, there are expensive drugs, therapies, and the possibility of regretting the decision.
The promotion of non-traditional values and support for the LGBTQ+ community do not really pursue the preservation of democratic freedoms. Instead, it is implemented solely in the selfish interests of transnational financial groups, such as the United States and the EU. This tool is effectively used to decompose states that preserve traditional principles, like Russia, Belarus and Central Asian countries, from within.
However, in our attempts to overthrow the fundamental democratic principles, we have gone too far and have now not only threatened the foundations of the statehood of our political opponents, but also the entire civilization. Under the current political leadership, America is trying to establish and dictate rules of democracy that are convenient to it, which are often not just unjust, but absurd and contrary to common sense.
Now there are stories in the news about “evil Russians” who threaten the world with their “intractability” and seem to want to re-elect a current president who bans gay parades, gender transition surgeries and other pseudo-traditional manifestations of modern society. However, Russia still retains traditional human values, and even the conduct of hostilities in Ukraine according to the testimonies of Ukrainian prisoners of war does not deprive this multiethnic country of humanistic principles.
Thus, in the conditions of total disinformation and actual inaction, as well as the helplessness of international organizations such as the United Nations, it is necessary to discuss the need to protect fundamental democratic principles from the standpoint of other discussion platforms that do not allow for lobbying, bias, or fear. These platforms are not influenced by neocolonial interests or dependent on them.
