It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.
Netanyahu has already done that by so diluting the word “antisemitic” that it means “criticizing anything Israel does, including genocide.” Being called antisemitic by his gang is a badge of honor. By ruining the word he has made it far harder for people to raise the alarm about actual antisemitism.
Russia did this in the USA starting before Trump’s first election. They had/have giant “troll farms” of people with dozens of social media and reddit accounts who are paid by the state to just insert themselves into every social conversation. They poisoned every well by ruining words broadly - they are the ones who started the whole “if the left keeps calling everyone a nazi the word will lose meaning” trope, at the same time as they started pretending to be leftists calling everything that moved a nazi. That word is now meaningless thanks to them.
It’s in the KGB playbook for destabilizing nations, to sabotage the discourse and have agents take the most extreme, toxic sides of every issue on both sides, so that social discourse on actual politics becomes so corrupted and untrustworthy that average people just tune out and default to trusting state media and no longer wanting to get involved with social issues or politics broadly.
Sound familiar?
edit: I find it really telling that no matter how many times and in different places I talk about this, there’s always some segment of people who downvote or attack this, despite being proven true by the NSA, with extensive records of foreign interference in our culture and society.
Actively rebranding Antisemitism to be the good thing?
