The control of far too many of the levers of power and influence in our society rest on ensuring a majority of the population is unbelievably stupid. I think its what I hate most about the current fascist formula in use. It feels like peoples' ability to survive on their own has been stolen from them.
There's a famous rusky propagandist that wrote a well known book some decades ago. Can't remember his name (there are too many) or the book (think it was late cold war era), but it sounds like you're citing from it directly. One can often understand how full of shit people are when another paraphrases nationalistic talking points so closely.
Edit: It was Alexander Dugin; The Foundations of Geopolitics. Also a Putin mentor and policyman.
I get more of an impression that people in general do not understand what they believe. There's a lot of that in the post information era we live; its also an easy excuse to look down my nose at people of course lol.
From their post history they appear to be a straight up pro rusky propogandist. So I'd be thinkin less controversial opinion, more paid astroturfing, probably.
It already looks like this fascist administration is gearing up for action in that regard. With the sanctions reducing their income from oil exports, this is all meant to exacerbate the suffering and hardship.
