Yuri Bezmenov, Soviet defector and KGB operative described the purpose of demoralization:
"A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures; even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him [a] concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he [receives] a kick in his fan-bottom. When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that. That's the [tragedy] of the situation of demoralization."
Don't engage the trolls.
It’s not ‘fan-bottom’ it’s ‘fat bottom’. That was one of the most frightening moments of Bezmenov’s testimony.
