- W2505756333 abstract "The much anticipated peace dividends with the end of the cold war evaporated as the twenty-first century was ushered with unimaginable human sufferings that ranged from crimes against humanity to preemptive wars under the guise of the spread of democracy. The United States, as the sole super power, and with much complicity of Western allies, has given the Orwellian view of the world a new meaning where the “unreason of reason” has been naturalized into common sense—a common sense that rationalizes the killings of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians as the necessary price to export and impose democracy while torture and the violation of Geneva conventions are legitimized by the dominant ideological propaganda machine that has largely reduced the citizenry to the role of mere spectators in the theater of democracy. The ideological propaganda apparatus has so anesthetized the citizenry to the point that a very large segment of the population is unable to differentiate myth from reality. This inability pushes us, more and more, to a perpetual flirtation with historical hypocrisy—a process that also enables us to falsely reconcile the enormous contradictions inherent in most contemporary democracies. In other words, while the “bewildered herd” is subject to ideological mechanisms that undermine independent thought, a prerequisite for the Orwellian “manufacture of consent,” policy-makers and the educated class unabashedly labor to undermine democracy so as to guarantee the maintenance of the Western cultural hegemony." @default.
