Great Thread on 5GW in Ukraine

[John Bailey]

I actually found the thread pretty interesting until it began to
display its underlying ideology.
I'd never heard of 5GW (fifth generation warfare) and I'm still not
sure if it's a concept that nations and spy agencies employ or if it's
something nerds on the internet came up with to project a world.
But the thread itself is fascinating from a meta-perspective. It
outlines the strongman tactics Trump and Putin have used to sow such
confusion that people lose all faith in traditional sources of
knowledge or truth (media, experts, universities, science etc) so that
their simple explanations for the world's ills begin to appear
attractive.
But the thread itself does the same thing. It is the thing it purports
to criticise. It's the thief self-employed to catch a thief.
