This was a nice analysis and so is your post.

I see it akin to “group think.”

Today you have media conglomerates (the age of the small independent media is history).

These conglomerates are owned or beholden to the big oligarchs and corporations.

The politician is beholden to the same oligarchs and corporations as these pay for their expensive campaigns, lobbyists, donate to political parties...

Today big tech which controls some of the primary communication channels is in the same boat as the media conglomerates.

So what you really have is a small group of elites in the West, and if they are fairly unified on an issue, say Ukraine, you’ll get near zero dissent. You’ll only get one single message from every walk of life trying to convince you that what these few elites want is right for you.

Whatever it is, it’ll be the moral, ethical, scientific, majority, just, natural, safe, best and only way. You’ll get this solution rammed down your throat in every language, from every race, sex, sexual orientation, a priest, general, businessman, astronaut, actor, LGBTQIA activist and environmentalist. But it’s all the same message: https://youtu.be/ksb3KD6DfSI

Usually you have opposition to an issue somewhere. Usually not everyone is on board so the media, political and security apparatus, big tech will be split in their agenda some pro some con. But when you get a perfect storm where the economic interests all line up, it’s game over.

Ukraine is one such example. The EU wanted Ukraine in the EU and NATO, the US wanted the same. The political machine and media stood behind the economic interests. Only your oddball and what is labeled as conspiratorial outlying media might report something differen, say INFOWARS etc. There was zero dissent (at least in the beginning) regardless if in Europe or the US. Major and factual historical events or agreements were not even reported on. It was all one sided, biased and not even attempting to report from a neutral and unbiased perspective.
