Guerrillas, the paranoid Zero Trust is your life and freedom. In your (our) circumstances, this is more important than brushing your teeth and crossing the street at a green light. Remember and repeat like “our father” or “this is my rifle”:
Any interlocutor can be hacked, unintentionally leak information, or turn out to be a set-up.
Anything you report can be used against you.
“You give us a share, we give you money” – a set-up or irresponsibility.
“Do this, there, then, here are the materials / instructions”
– 100% FSB setup, an ambush awaits you at the site of the action or a cache with materials.
“An application form for joining the Armed Forces of Ukraine” is such an article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, if you store the file with the application form on your personal device or send it to someone unknown.
“Make a photo-video report” is the production of evidence for oneself.
“I am from the SBU, GUR, Mossad, Black Bridge, Lord God personally, I am writing to you in the Telegram chat, believe me” – how do you get into such a cringe in general?
Don’t trust anyone, not even yourself. Paranoia? Maybe.
Will it help you stay free?
Definitely.
What can make an ardent supporter of the so-called “special operation” change his position and become, perhaps not an active, but at least a passive opponent of the war? How do we work with the majority so that they begin to change their minds and join the ranks of opponents of the war and the Putin regime? Do you have your recipe?
There is a method that definitely works – turning off propaganda.
The passive majority and most of the “active supporters” of the war speak in clichés from “TV” for a reason. They do not have their own thoughts on the topic, their own reflection, and conclusions. They repeat what they hear and see every day on all broadcast channels. It’s not just that since 2005 and now, propaganda every day tells horror stories about the Maidan, Ukronazis, crucified boys, and other delusional fictions. Without constant repetition, in a couple of weeks, the layman will begin to forget what was discussed, and in six months, he will not even remember that there was a war. The “information” of the layman is not directly concern, it is not applicable in life in any way, he cannot check it and believes it only because “everyone thinks so”. And these “all” watch the same TV.
Propaganda, the monopoly on mass information, is one of the pillars of Putin’s fascism. It’s not just the media. The so-called journalists and “pro-government military correspondents”, popular artists, social activists, bloggers, and “system politicians” who support the war are the “radio of a thousand hills” . These are combatants directly involved in the war and guilty of genocide, war criminals, no matter how they portray innocent civilians. The propaganda system and its participants are a legitimate military target for both the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the partisans.
To increase the number of opponents of the war, you need to exterminate z-propaganda. It’s such a recipe.
