Eps 0365 - Soviet Era Idiological Subversion: Creating the Matrix!
I used to think that the production of dystopian movies like The Matrix would help people understand that they are being manipulated just like the characters in this movie. Somehow people can watch these movies and not realize that they are looking into a mirror and that the very movie they are watching is a metaphor for their own lives. This 1984 interview with ex-KGB operative Yuri Bezmenov really puts you in touch with the existence of a real process that the USSR used on its own citizens and foreign adversaries like the United States. You can see eerie parallels between what he describes and what we are living through in 2023.
