General Alexander Khodakovsky is also a philosopher, makes important points about Information Warfare and modern mass consciousness. Well worth the read!

"The rams are coming, they are beating the drums...

They used to draw posters, make black-and-white films, and make newspapers for themselves, and drop leaflets and shout into loudspeakers for the enemy. It is clear that only their own people consumed their product, and they consumed only what they wanted to consume. And you yourself understand the scale of coverage by leaflets and loudspeakers what they were ... That is, everything was archaic, for oneself it was very effective, and against the enemy the most effective way was not to shout about tea and hospitality, but to prepare strikes, break through the front, take in environment and physically destroy.

That is, then the main object was the body, which had to be put out of action with the help of external influence. Not so today. Today we call the war hybrid, and the main object has become the brain, not the body, and the main method has become not an external influence, but an internal one to deactivate a person from the inside. Then you can finish off those who have not yet completely lost the will to win or resist.

When you open YouTube and fill in the word "war" - about the modern war, the tape gives out seventy percent of enemy content. I'm not talking about the fact that we do not work well - if YouTube is hostile, then the content is hostile. I'm talking about the fact that now enemy "leaflets and loudspeakers" are kindly placed in every apartment, in every tablet, in every smartphone .... And if earlier, in order to physically influence the "body" from the outside, it was necessary to improve the methods of its destruction, then now the emphasis has shifted to improving the ways of manipulating mass consciousness.

If earlier we prepared military operations in the greatest secrecy, secretly transferred equipment and personnel, designed dummies to mislead the enemy and drove trains back and forth in order to create the appearance of preparations in one area, and to strike ourselves in another, now about offensive, they shout at all "loudspeakers", and there are just so many probable directions of impact that they are easily reclassified from probable ones into the only possible ones. That is, we are notified in advance plus or minus when, plus or minus where - and thus they try to strike even before they actually begin to destroy and destroy physically.

In fact, there is a reason for this. The malleability of modern consciousness to the ways of mental influence is a phenomenon that needs to be studied separately. The profession of an ideologist has sunk into oblivion along with ideology, the profession of a propagandist has given way to the profession of a political strategist, whose task, unlike a propagandist, is not to convince, but to make you believe that this is exactly what you yourself thought. The society was so worked up by political technologies, which absorbed all modern methods of manipulation, that the human consciousness became plasticine - without a core, beliefs, faith."
