Everybody read Victor Klemperer again
'framing' isn't enough to explain what is happening in mass media; the cost of ceding a vocabulary to anti-democratic forces is far higher than is commonly reckoned

putin’s notion that we are a great powerful civilization but also we are constantly helplessly victimized by the west -- it’s the same combination of entitlement plus victimhood that you find in the US far-right. No wonder they like him

as a bosnian, i cannot accept this depoliticization of the mass murder that was directed against us. to brazenly claim that the violence has "no political or religious motivation" is beneath common sense. it harms any understanding of what happened in sarajevo and bosnia
