I can’t discuss Russia / Kremlin / Putin meme warfare on Social Media since year 2013
They (anonymous Lemmy users who won’t give real names) won’t ever discuss this article and the implications of what it means that 5,000 anti-reality meme patterns were put on Reddit and Twitter and social media comment sections:

Часть вторая.
В чем заключалась наша идея с Дональдом Трампом? За четыре года и два дня… необходимо было пробраться ко всем в мозг и захватить все возможные средства массового восприятия действительности. Обеспечить победу Дональда на выборах президента США. После чего создать политический союз между Соединенными Штатами, Францией, Россией (и ещё рядом других государств) и установить новый мировой порядок.
Четыре года и два дня - это с одной стороны очень большой срок, а с другой очень маленький. Наша идея была безумна, но реализуема. Для того, чтобы в этом во всем разобраться для начала нужно было “оцифровать” все возможные виды современного человека. Дональд решил пригласить для этой задачи - специальный научный отдел “Кембриджского университета”.
Британские учёные из Cambridge Analytica предложили сделать из 5 тысяч существующих человеческих психотипов - “идеальный образ” возможного сторонника Трампа. Затем… положить этот образ обратно на всё психотипы и таким образом подобрать универсальный ключик к любому и каждому.
Разработка в итоге обошлась Дональду Фредовичу в 5 миллионов долларов. Но! Он получил в свои руки - секретное супер-оружие. Кто занимался таргетированной рекламой… поймёт, что это значит. Помните, сколько всего денег потратили фонды Клинтон и “их сторонники” на кампанию по всему миру? В 5 раз больше, чем Трамп.

Do You Speak Fox?
How Donald Trump’s favorite news source became a language
By Megan Garber
September 16, 2020
All happy families are alike; some unhappy families are unhappy because of Fox News. You might have come across the articles (“I Lost My Dad to Fox News” / “Lost Someone to Fox News?” / “‘Fox News Brain’: Meet the Families Torn Apart by Toxic Cable News”), or the Reddit threads, or the support groups on Facebook, as people have sought ways to mourn loved ones who are still alive. The discussions consider a loss that Americans don’t have good language for, in part because the loss itself is a matter of language: They describe what it’s like to find yourself suddenly unable to speak with people you’ve known your whole life. They acknowledge how easily a national crisis can become a personal one. At this point, some Americans speak English; others speak Fox.

In a secret recording from January 2018 Alexander Nix, the now former chief executive of CA, in reference to making false allegations against political opponents, said:
“These are things that, I mean, it sounds a dreadful thing to say, but these are things that don’t necessarily need to be true, as long as they’re believed.” – Alexander Nix
There are similar comments from managing director Mark Turnbull, who was also secretly recorded speaking to potential clients, this time in November 2017. Turnbull said something that is, after closer examination, a fundamental truth of how we now do politics. He openly admitted that the company is in the business of preying on people’s fears:
“The two fundamental human drivers, when it comes to taking information on board effectively, are hopes and fears. And many of those are unspoken and even unconscious. You didn’t know that was a fear until you saw something that just evoked that reaction from you. And our job is to drop the bucket further down the well than anybody else, to understand what are those really deep-seated underlying fears and concerns. There is no good fighting an election campaign on the facts because, actually, it’s all about emotion. It’s all about emotion.” – Mark Turnbull
“The two fundamental human drivers, when it comes to taking information on board effectively, are hopes and fears.” – Mark Turnbull

Lecture I.1.5 - The Vitality of Myth
1974
So we have the civilizations growing out of mythologies, and these are mythologies that convince the people within them that they are finding their fulfillment within the world in which they are dwelling.
Now something happened to our world a little while ago. Let’s think what the old Medieval myth was, which really was the life of the Medieval civilization so that people between the year 1150 and 1250 built most of the great cathedrals in Europe. They put everything they had into that absurd task.
Mythology asks for absurd tasks—think of the Egyptian pyramids. I mean the economic interpretation of history just doesn’t confront the pyramids. [laughter] And that was the beginning. In fact, the economic concern is ego concern with survival and all that, which is the non-mythological concern, and it has never built a civilization—it has never built a cathedral.
What builds the civilization and the cathedral is a mad aspiration of some kind. And as long as that lasts, people are pulling together. And if you don’t have an aspiration, then the only other thing that will pull people together so they will do something is fear. Either aspiration or fear, and then people will work together. But let them not be scared, and not have something crazy pushing them, then just their thinking of survival, security and you know what else.
The myth of the Middle Ages was of Man’s Fall, of all being born in Original Sin as a consequence. When they die they will go to hell unless they are saved. They are saved by the Savior Jesus who was crucified, and founded the Church, and through the Sacraments of the church, salvation is achieved.
This supported an enormous institution: the Church, and the whole civilization of the Middle Ages was based on this. And when that belief disintegrated, the culture disintegrated; it has disintegrated now.
We are in what is called a wasteland. T.S. Eliott put his finger on it, back there in 1922, I think it was. What is a wasteland? It is a wasteland of people living without aspiration, going through the routine of their lives, doing things they are told to do because they don’t have the courage to do something they want to do, which would be a little bit insane.
We are in a realm that I would describe as a terminal moraine of myths. There are no end of destroyed mythologies around us.
