DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The West is morally corrupted

SUMMARY

Non-traditional values have evolved from hobbies and pathologies to mainstream in "developed countries". This can be explained by moral degradation or the widespread dumbing down of Western society. However, given the investments made in this process, it is more likely a combination of marketing, the institutionalisation of a system to manage the masses, control over people's minds and birth rates, and the legalization of paedophilia.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative aimed at depicting liberalism and Western values as destroying traditional social and spiritual values, as well as national, cultural and gender identities. According to this narrative, liberalism is responsible for cultural and moral decay, the breakdown of the family and community, as well as widespread deviance and perversion.

"Threatened values" is one of the most common narratives used by pro-Kremlin outlets. The narrative is adapted to a wide range of topics and is typically used to discredit liberal Western attitudes regarding the rights of women, ethnic and religious minorities and LGBTIQ groups among others.

Pro-Kremlin outlets often spread a narrative about the deliberate destruction by the West of values such as the traditional family, religion, spirituality and classical culture, eliminating all forms of collective identity. Russia uses this narrative to proclaim itself the defender of traditional social and spiritual values all over the world.

Read similar cases claiming that The West tries to impose its alien LGBT values on Kazakhstan; that Kazakhstan could become a refuge for those who reject Western values; that EU Resolution on Central Asia: critical materials for LGBT agendathe replacement of traditional values with LGBT values aim to destroy the institution of family, that global capitalism destroys religion, tradition, the family and spirituality, that unlike Russia the West degrades traditional values and endangers societies, that contemporary liberalism is now striving to cancel Western culture and The UN and Klaus Schwab are using LGBT rights against Russia.
