As the world endures another United States' war, Ray McGovern speaks to Schiller Institute Harley Schlanger on how the American government gains consent for its wars. The use of the concept of "others" is to make targeted people seem less than human. The video of their discussion is below with a link. The Special Military Operation in Ukraine is indeed a United States proxy war against Russia. It is supported by the confessions of Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande and Petro Poroshenko on the true intent of the Minsk Agreements. The concept of "other" is again used to gain the consent of the American people for another United States' imperialist war.
Ray McGovern details examples found in America's history where the concept of "others" has been used to establish hate towards a targeted group. The hate fosters a sense of superiority over the targeted group. The three; hate, sense of superiority and concept of "others" are used to establish an entitlement. Armed with a sense of entitlement, Americans consent to the government that represents them and its treatment of targeted people. Ray McGovern reveals how the concept of "others" is married to Americans' consent for their government's continuous wars.
