Vlad, this is, for me, your most important video to date. It doesn’t just explain the problem of post-truth politics. It also offers the hope of working for a post-post-truth society.

The Soviet Union had 2 newspapers: 'Truth' and 'News' The news had no truth and the truth no news.

By the gods, this needs to be translated to Slovak and broadcast 24/7.

As one who lives in russia and been raised in Soviet Union, I confirm it’s 100% true picture of how it operates. ‘Western’ or democratic countries just can not understand their vulnerability to such kind of propaganda, as they had a tradition of free speech and respect of the alternative opinion. It’s all fine in the context of discussions when both parties are really trying to get somewhere, to find some optimal solution to the existing problem. And it is completely fails when one party’s goal is to destroy you and break your will and ability to understand and act

Extremely insightful. Thank you from Germany!

This is probably the deepest, most thorough analysis of Russian propaganda. As a Pole, I need no further convincing as to how insidious their propaganda is, but more people should be aware.

Writing these down because they're so important! 14:03 We renew our democracies by 1. Reforming electoral systems 2. Reforming political parties 3. Bringing politics closer to citizens and their communities 4. Tackling inequality 5. Putting solidarity and the public good, and not identity politics, at the center of our social justice agenda 6. Taking action on the crisis of civility and atomization that social media causes

“Trust that you win by thinking freely and being truthful, more than you win by winning.”

This video should be shown in every single classroom worldwide. 👏

An absolute gem, like always! With so much stupidity and ignorant hubris that passes for expert commentary these days, your voice is one of a few that can be consistently relied upon to better make sense of the world.

I used to know a number of people who worked at RT-America (a few I'd consider actual friends), and watching them slide into pushing a belief in a post-truth world, both on and off camera, was truly chilling. What's more, I really don't think anybody at RT-America actively changed their public opinions for money--it was truly organic.

This is your best work so far. Well done

I love Vlad Vexler. No one has taught me more about this damn war than him. Thank you, sir, for illuminating the darkness.

Thanks, Vlad for your insights into this war. You are an essential contributor to the dialog.

From a translation of Thucydides' The Peloponnesian War: "The search for truth strains the patience of most people".

I will be watching this one five more times at least. Thanks for so much.

You know what, Vlad. You really *should* do that 4-hour video. It would be quicker than writing a book and we ll desperately, desperately need a thorough set of suggestions of how to alleviate this mess.

One of your best man… I hope this gets wider sharing and viewership…

One of the single best educational RU-vidrs there is. Fills my day with joy, when a new video is out!

Brilliant! Every minute of work you have put into this will have an effect. You might be preaching to the choir to a large extent, but this choir is growing and strengthening from such precise insight. Thank you!

Please somehow make this required viewing all over the world.

It's as if some people watch a Batman movie and think that the villains are the heroes.

Way to go, Vlad👍 as in my opinion, not many a persons are privileged to know this. Good work❤. Glory to Ukraine.

On behalf of humanity, we thank you Vlad, for the very important work you perform. You gives us knowledge of the consequences of our choices, and the collective responsibility that determines the outcome of the choices we make, which ultimately influences all of humanities' future.

Solidarity instead of identity politics, that was a weird little gem. Never thought of it that way but it makes total sense.

Wow, you blew my mind! I feel like just finished a civics master class in preserving democracy. I will play this video again. Thank you for what you do. ❤🙏

A good friend of mine always used to joke, in a putting-on-airs ironic way, say, "What is truth?" I didn't realize how powerful idea that was!

Absolutely brilliant. It's brilliant in its message and accessibility. Thank you! I've shared it everywhere I can think to share it.

One of your best ever Vlad, and that's saying something. This should be taught in high school, preferably junior high.

Thank you, Vlad, for keeping us sane in these times. Russian propaganda has taken deep roots in my home country of Slovakia and your content helped me to understand it as well as not to fall in despair. God bless you :)

“We didn’t do it…The planet Saturn did it…. The planet Saturn didn’t do it, but its rings did” 😂

I always knew those Rings were trouble. Look at'em... Just floating there, thinking they're better than everyone...

We need to get this message out there.

This is your most dense and boiled down explanation of the happenings.

It is so ridiculously stupid you start to see lies everywhere, it blends fiction and reality to the point where you are unable to believe anything that is said. Or the opposite, start to believe any word you hear without proof

At the 7 min mark my brain could not keep up with amount of knowledge bombs that I had to restart twice. I seriously have to double check and triple check how I get my news now. 😲

Vlad, no one could have clarified the Russian propaganda so well than you, such as the harmful effects and how to outsmart it. Thanks for your excellent episode. Cheers.

You, sir, are a tremendous asset to the cause of freedom and democracy. I'll share your video with all of my friends. Thank you.

Thank you for the video, Vlad

I am stunned by this brilliant summary. I will be watching it several times to be sure I have all the points straight in my head. Thank you, Vlad.

These tactics are pure evil,destroying not only the social but also the human core needs!

Владе, дякую за Вашу працю. Ті "ліки", що ви пропонуєте, максимально важливі для оздоровлення публічного сприйняття інформації, про політику, про війну. Що допомагає і українцям, хоча це не є ціллю центральною, Ваші слова є частиною процессу спасіння наших життів. Але й в загальнолюдському, така просвітницька робота є промінцем світла, котрий проривається через темряву все більш хмурого сьогодення.

There’s a lot that pops up on RU-vid, from commentators on the war (that they laughably cal a special military operation) to RU-vid shorts of Putin looking like a boss or looking like a really kind man.

This is superb Vlad. So important. The post-truth narratives are confusing indeed, dangerous and evil. Thanks for this superb post. 👌

I'm glad you're with us.

Greetings Vlad. I must say that the algorithm really didn't want me to see this, but I found it anyway. Love ya!

Thank you Vlad. It was well worth waiting for.

This is really good video, please don't stop

WOW man, thats totally crazy 16 minutes! We should show your video to everybody and discuss your message with everybody. Thats so on point why there is struggle in the democracies currently..... If you want to beat the enemies of democracy, don't talk about them or demonize them... just make good politics. It would be so incredibly easy.....

How did you manage to make this only 15 minutes long and pack so much into it!? I tend to take one or two points from most vids and add them to my repertoire of talking points when discussion this war and current geo politics but I have watched this video twice now and just realised that I am going to have to come back later and write down everything line by line. This is by far the most succinct video you have made and in my opinion your best video yet. Thank-you for making it, my hat is off to you.

I have to admit I don't understand most of it. I'll just go with "If the Kremlin is putting out a statement, it is lying." Has made things easy for me so far.

Vlad, you are doing such an incredible work. You get straight to the point and in such an understandable way! Thank you for not only making us aware how Putin´s propaganda works, but luckily also the hope and encouragement you are giving us to stand up and "fight" for our values and democracy! Your channel deserves far MORE viewers and your lessons should be lectured in schools, at universities, being broadcasted in mass media, ... . Thank you once more and take care; we need you!

This is one of the best, if not the best, videos I've seen on the subject. Congratulations!

Congratulations, well done 🥂

Another fantastic video Vlad! Thank you so much for helping the world demystify what Russia has been doing to us.

From all my heart: Thank you Vlad.

Dziękujemy.

I like this last strategy of defence, starting at 13:54, most. Strengthen ourselfs and Putin won't have a chance. A long way to go, yet every achievement pays out twice.

This is the best examination of what I've been struggling with for two years. This is gold. Watching again.

It's crazy that Americans are skeptical of this. Like, why would Russia not make memes? They would be stupid not to. It would be negligence.

What a refined and consolidated articulation. This Video is next level Vlad. Also, I watched this with my girlfriend and she was touched to see someone who has not given up on politics and who deals with the world of politics while being beyond cynicism.

The conservatives in the UK, became internally divided by brexit. Did Russia come in to support post truth politics where lies anout the cost of the eu and the ignoring of the costs of brexit. Trade with the eu is more difficult and yet as the biggest trading block that the UK had, is moving on without feeling the loss. Now accountability is coming

Thankyou Vlad, wishing you good health from Australia 🇦🇺🙏👏

"Frankly I've had a gutsful of the planet Saturn and it's rings and it's high time somebody did something about it!"

Thanks!

Thank you, Vlad! This is really a very insightful video. Greetings from a devoted viewer from Vienna!

This is the absolute best description of how this very elusive and difficult to understand stuff works. Thank you so much for this much needed clarification. Everything you said needs to be shouted to the moon and translated into every language.

important video

Vlad you are on fire! I had to watch it a few times to soak in everything you say. Thank you so much my lovely.

This is perhaps your most important work so far. In my adopted country, Austria, there's a great deal of support for Putin, not only from the far right, but also from some of the "woke" left. I wish this could be shown in schools here. I hope you're doing well. Keep up the good work. Lunch is on me if you're ever in town. All the best from warm Vienna, Scott

This was probably the best and most coherent video I've seen from you.

On Number 3 ,there's a good many of fellow US citizens that remember the Trump quote after Xi Zinping announcing himself of being president for life "Maybe the United States should try something like that." on camera. Also calling Kim Jong Un "little rocket man" and weeks later meeting him to soon afterwards, begin a series of correspondence that resembles a romance more than anything diplomatic. It was all for show and it wasn't lost on most of us that witnessed it. Social and mainstream media definitely have made people believe as much, but no. Empty vessels make the most noise. Both the far right and the far left depend on it. Democracy will win.

I really appreciate that I always come away from watching these videos feeling more informed, less anxious, and hopeful that things can be better.

Brilliant video Vlad, thank you. Greetings to you from Ireland.

Vlad, I think this is a very important and eye opening video. I watch your chat channel from time to time, it's a good thinking exercise, but this clear, to the point explanation is beyond valuable!

IMO (and I watch you regularly) this was your best one, yet. Thank you, Vlad, and best wishes from “Eastern Europe”.

Exceptional. This needs to be taught at all levels of education across the globe

Holy shit, this video hits hard!

This is really important, and more people need to see this video

Amazing video, Vlad! As always ❤

❤❤❤ That's an extremely insightful, comprehensive, yet accessible description. Thank you very much! ❤❤❤

Its election season in the UK and you hear a lot of the 4 feelings of distrust you mention in interviews with the general public - especially supporters of the right-populist Reform party. Once you start looking for these feelings they are everywhere around you.

This is instructive and motivational both at the same time. I salute your clarity of concepts, ideas and eloquence for this message.

Love your reference to John Cleese's thanks to Saturn and its rings in his BAFTA acceptance speech here..

Not to say your other videos are not great, but I think this is your best one yet, Vlad. Everything crucial for saving ourselves is here. Amazing job.

Your best video yet Vlad. More of this format please!!!!

Thanks so much for creating and sharing this informative video. Great job. Keep it up. Slava Ukraini

You’ve made so many insightful and concise videos but this one is outstanding. Bravo!!!

Riktigt bra kurs. Lyssna och se!

1:45 - “Who knows what if anything is true?” A fascinating example of a statement that proves itself false 🙀

As always thank you for the video. I need to re-watch it and take some notes. You hit a lot of points I want to know more about. Much ❤️ for Brissie.

Vlad, what a wonderful analysis! P.S. Could you do a room tour, please? Your bookcase seems to be marvelous

Brillant video, Vlad, thank you very much! 🌻

Big thanks big V!

Thank you, Vlad. A clear and useful way to put contemporary challenges and issues into perspective so that we can handle them rationally.

Sounds like the Steve Bannon playbook…’flood the zone’…etc.

Well done Vlad. Thank you. Its so hard to make sense of the world these days. Your help is vital .

Thank you so much for your unwavering devotion to help us and others. You were a extraordinary help to me this past years in part due to recognizing myself in you. (I was also born in USSR but later, so I was younger when we left. I was raised thus more in West Europe were I still live like you. I even have similar love for philosophy, music, politics etc.) You helpt me mentally deal with that heritage and especially the nightmare since 2022. How you deal with your condition inspire me immensly in dealing with my mental conditions. So I hope you understand the additional gravitas when I say thanks from the bottom of my heart, much love and best whishes to you. ❤

Let's see if we can improve YT recommendations for this video 0,001%. More people need to watch it and have it seep into their subconscious.
