Comparison of propaganda (ideology) and religion. They have a lot in common. The ideology of alternative media From the point of view of shamanism, ideology and religion are almost the same. They have a lot in common. Both are egregors. Currently, the strongest ideology is the ideology of alternative media. Only a spiritually and spiritually backward person needs to believe in ideology or religion – these artificial brakes that bind a person and make them unfree. Now we will specifically list the common features of the ideology of alternative media and religion (Christianity).
Artificial division of people: religion and ideology adhere to the motto: "whoever does not share our opinion is our enemy". Alternative media and their followers fight very radically, provocatively and hatefully against opinion opponents – against people from mainstream media. There are also death threats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSzk2F31144 Anyone who has a different opinion than pro-Russian, who dares to criticize Russian policy even a little, is labeled with the hateful label "Soros agent". Only spiritually backward people do not realize that a person who has a different opinion than me does not have to be my enemy. And how religions divide and create hostilities is well known to us: the war between Catholics and Protestants, the religious wars of Islam. It is also well known that conservative Christians consider people with esoteric beliefs to be occultists, people who cooperate with the devil and have great hatred against these people. If someone in a Christian family converts to esotericism or atheism, suddenly enormous conflicts and divisions arise in the family.
I fight for the truth!!!: The more fanatically a person is passionate about any ideology or religion, the more they are a victim of ideology or religion, the more that person thinks they know the truth. The reality, however, is that the more a person is passionate about the alleged "truth", the more they have black-and-white, monochromatic thinking, the more they see people with different opinions and different beliefs as enemies, the more hatred there is in this person. Eventually, we come to realize that fighting for the alleged "truth" will only turn into primitive hatred. A victim of ideology and religion strongly believes that they know the truth. Wielding the word "truth" is very common in alternative media and in religion.
The principle of Satan and the devil: no religion can function well if we do not create an enemy – Satan. And people who have a different opinion than us are labeled as heretics, sorcerers, then we accuse them of cooperating with Satan and then we burn them at the stake. In alternative media, Satan is called by a slightly different name: George Soros. According to alternative media, George Soros is responsible for all the evil in the world. And everyone who has a different opinion than us is labeled as cooperating with Satan George Soros, with his NGOs.
And I'll give you another very good and juicy example of what the alleged Satan = George Soros is responsible for. Someone on YouTube published a series dubbed into Russian about sexuality in ancient times. It was also about sexuality in ancient Greece, where, of course, they did not avoid the topic of homosexuality, which played a significant role in this society. And when I looked at the comments under the video, from Russians whose brains had been washed by local propaganda, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This serious factual film was labeled by the discussants as homosexual propaganda by George Soros.
Idealizing the alleged principle of good: A person drawn into an ideology or religion is very unfree. When a person sees a lot of evil and suffering in society and politics, they logically seek good, they seek some principle that will give them hope for a better future. Unfortunately, an energetically polluted person seeks this noble principle of good very badly and mistakenly. An energetically polluted person (and there are more such people) cannot think in a healthy way. This alleged principle of good, in the environment of alternative media, is Putin, Kotleba, and Russia. A person drawn into the ideology of alternative media is so unfree that Kotleba and Putin are completely perfect, and under no circumstances are they able to see a fault in them, and for their infallibility, the person would even be willing to lay down their life. Such a person can no longer be interested in the truth – the truth does not interest them – they are interested in the ideology they are fighting for. Any criticism of Russia (even truthful) is perceived as the work of George Soros. In a religious environment, it is again the principle of "good" that is religion itself. With any criticism of religion, the victim of religious indoctrination is very irritated. A religious person is not interested in the truth; they will label any critic of religion as a servant of Satan.
