Toner: in order not to fall under the influence of state propaganda, Russians need to "develop critical thinking"

State Department spokesman Mark Toner, in his Twitter account, explained to users of the Russian segment of the social network how to “not give in to state propaganda,” reports RIA News.

Answering a question from one of the Russian users (at least the question was asked in Russian), “what needs to be done in order not to succumb to state propaganda (TV, etc.)”, Toner wrote:

"Develop critical thinking and independent media."

The agency recalls that on Wednesday, Victoria Nuland complained about the lack of money allocated by Washington to "fight against Russian propaganda."

Such an insignificant amount ($ 100 million) directed to this "holy" cause, according to her, goes to "trainings for journalists and support of Russian-speaking news organizations in the Baltics, Ukraine and other countries neighboring Russia. "

Earlier, Congressman Adam Kittsinger made a proposal to "create a new federal agency to combat propaganda issued by Russia and China."

He stated that “The creation of an appropriate agency will give the United States a unique opportunity to send a powerful stream of truth, ensuring world stability and preventing conflicts.”

And what is the truth that once sounded from the mouth of the State Department to Russia, I think they should have corrected their thinking.

Who, but in Russia, "critical thinking .." was very developed, especially in the 90s .. How we criticized ourselves and not just by language, but by actions, destroying everything and everyone ..

By the way, we have independent media. On television, the channel RedLine-Krasnaya Line and the Liberal Democratic Party. I got a kick out of looking at them. There, a young economist and presenter Vladislav Zhukovsky in the evening of smart people gathers "Kremlin towers" to criticize.

Keyword - CONSTANT criticism of power. Our liberals are engaged in this, even if for this they have to constantly contradict themselves.

Keyword - PERMANENT criticism of power

Keyword - unconstructive criticism of power! You criticize - offer best option, argue that it is the best - and voila:
The LDPR is the opposition, but how many bills they have proposed have passed? ICHS, Zhirinovsky Putin has already given 3 orders - for his contribution to lawmaking!

[yuri p]

since when the LDPR is independent, the EDR litter, and their head simply speaks oppositional thoughts to the microphone, but in reality it follows the path of its conductor edr and gazprom, which is equivalent to edr-gazprom, gazprom-edr, it’s like a party and Komsomol united.

Everything is clear, the next psacking macking demagogy faxing. We have developed critical thinking and we do not succumb to State Department propaganda. And the State Department itself needs to develop critical thinking and stop interfering in the affairs of other countries, arranging coups and wars, political killings.

The fact is that the invitees say on such programs, and not what the presenter says.

If those invited from the "other side" speak sanely and do not repeat themselves (like Vadim Karasev) - this is one thing, and if they, like parrots, repeat the same thing (like Koftun or Zlobin or Bom) and cannot answer the questions asked, it means not everything is fine behind them.


Critical thinking is to analyze events, from simple to complex.

There are events and the reaction of the parties to them is quite clear, there is information obtained from unofficial sources, based on these facts, you can evaluate other events and facts.

It is imperative to develop critical thinking. First of all, to see from what edge the propaganda of the State Department creeps towards you.

In order not to fall under the influence of state propaganda, (any) person should lie in the grave.

And the State Department official, in my opinion, says the case! Citizens of the Russian Federation simply need critical thinking as air, unless of course they want to live with dignity.
In our country, a situation has developed where most of the country's wealth is concentrated in the hands of a very narrow handful of people. And the media is expensive. So it turns out that all the media are in the hands of a small handful of rich people.
The rich are closely related to power. Otherwise, they would quickly be dispossessed. A sort of union of dough and Parker (in the sense of signing decrees).
Expect from such media - the truth is not necessary. those. they sometimes write the truth about their opponents, but they never write the truth to themselves.
Therefore, the advice of the State Department is quite normal. (State Deputies also sometimes tell the truth about their opponents and never speak about themselves )
Who wants to develop their critical thinking - read, recommend

Mr. Tolmach, I don’t think that you have revealed to someone something new about the media, about the rich, you should always have your own opinion, Toner’s words are not only premium to Russian readers, they are premium to the whole world’s audience. From here the conclusion is that you should not allow yourself to litter your brains and use one or two sources.

And what, I totally agree with him, in order not to fall under the influence of the State Department propaganda, it is necessary to develop critical thinking and really develop independent media independent from the Western prostitutes.

[Undermined ustoev]

Answering a question from one of the Russian users (at least the question was asked in Russian), “what needs to be done in order not to succumb to state propaganda (TV, etc.)”, Toner wrote:
“Develop critical thinking and independent media”

How is “critical thinking” related to “independent” Toner media? Are these media independent of what, or from whom? Maybe independent of social being, or of the total dominance of the ideas of the ruling class, i.e. capitalist ideas aimed at promoting freedom of acquisition, personal enrichment, private ownership of the means of production, etc ...? No, actually. Well, since, dear comrades who sell their labor, what bourgeois tune is more pleasant for you to listen to form “critical thinking”, domestic, or imported, overseas? I don’t have any. This does not affect my well-being.

[1536]

This is, of course, true about "critical thinking". But the words of the American are perceived as a mockery when we see what the media in America and the EU countries have become today. How the German media profess fascism and revanchism, how journalists become drug addicts, lose their human face, just to fill their pockets with green bills. It's time for the State Department to change the toner cartridge, Psaki was better.

State Department critical thinking is how? Do not believe the statements? So I don’t believe it yet ... Here the states say that they brought peace and democracy to Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, but I don’t believe it ... And there’s another oddity - GDP said sanctions worsened the situation in the economy, me too do not believe? Or do you need to believe selectively? The same GDP says that we can withstand - do not believe here? NATO exercises near the borders of the Russian Federation are for my benefit and are not directed against Russia - should this be believed without discussion? But the GDP and Shoigu are worried - are they sick all over the head and should I reassure them?

There is also a problem with critical thinking in the USA: all critically thinking people in the USA are generally against the US foreign policy and at the same time do not trust the government, therefore the level of propaganda there is no less than in Russia, somehow people need to be driven into the herd. In general, not everything is good in our country, of course, but it would be better if he was silent

Russians need to “develop critical thinking”

thanks uncle, we have already developed it, and therefore Western propaganda does not work for almost 90% of Russian citizens.

[Sergey333]

First, develop your critical thinking, and then advise others.

[then]

Critical thinking involves comparing the facts cited as evidence of a particular point of view. If there are no such facts, this is religion. For a believer alone, evidence is not needed.

Let him offer "critical thinking" to his fellow citizens. For many of them, Turkey is a turkey for Christmas. They won't find Ukraine, Yugoslavia on the map ... Psaki, I wonder. was kidding. when she spoke. what will send their fleet to the shores of Belarus?

[Yuri Y.]

Yes, there is nothing to comment on here.

Toner: in order not to fall under the influence of state propaganda, Russians need to "develop critical thinking"

The key desire of the State Department. They can advise anything (of course, critical thinking is a necessity), but in their mouths this is the main thing (Russian state propaganda). Or listen to them (apparently without critical thinking). Although they will be satisfied with any mess in Russia.

“critical thinking..” Yes, you ....3.14...Well, why on 3.14...And then we pee pee all of you, why (we’ll leave you alone)))) That’s how it is in Russia, gentlemen! Crimea is OUR! And then there will be a showdown... and all 3.140000000000

[Yuri Y.]

I don’t feel “critical thinking.” Did you drink beer?

[koralvit]

What is independent media in Russia? These are media outlets that receive subsidies from the US State Department. So are they independent? If you look at it critically, according to Toner’s advice, they are dependent only on the US State Department and implement US policy. So, first of all, Toner himself, the mouthpiece of the State Department, must be critically approached, because he himself is engaged in promoting US political decisions. But Russia and the Russians have completely different interests and a different understanding of the truth. Russian people are being killed in Ukraine, the State Department also had a hand in this with cookies, and even imposed sanctions on Russia.

“In order not to fall under the influence of state propaganda (USA), Toner needs to “develop critical thinking.”
- In other words, “wouldn’t it be better, godfather, to turn on yourself?” - according to Ivan Andreich Krylov.

Toner: in order not to fall under the influence of state propaganda, Russians need to "develop critical thinking"
I wanted to write what this Toner and others like him need to develop, and then I realized that everyone here had already expressed who he is and where he should go and decided to just join all of the above, because censorship still won’t miss what I think about such arrogant "exceptional" people...

[pafegosoff]

Let him show by example. In class he will tell about the famine in the USA, about the executions of strikers along with women and children from machine guns, about their Gulag and concentration camps, about the internment of US citizens of Japanese descent. And then - He laughs and blows his nose into the stars and stripes. Or he will throw himself out of the window like Forestal, shouting: “The Russians are coming!”
