Adam Curtis, BBC, December 31, 2014: On The "Contradictory Vaudeville" Of Post-Modern Politics - "What this film is going to suggest is that that defeatist response has become a central part of a new system of political control. And to understand how this is happening, you have to look to Russia, to a man called Vladislav Surkov, who is a hero of our time. Surkov is one of President Putin's advisers, and has helped him maintain his power for 15 years, but he has done it in a very new way."

“Technopoly is a state of culture. It is also a state of mind. It consists in the deification of technology, which means that the culture seeks its authorization in technology, finds its satisfactions in technology, and takes its orders from technology.” ― Neil Postman, Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, 1992

“And though Russia does officially have a free market, with mega-corporations floating their record-breaking IPOs on the global stock exchanges, most of the owners are friends of the President. Or else they are oligarchs who officially pledge that everything that belongs to them is also the President’s when he needs it: “All that I have belongs to the state,” says Oleg Deripaska, one of the country’s richest men. This isn’t a country in transition but some sort of postmodern dictatorship that uses the language and institutions of democratic capitalism for authoritarian ends.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, year 2014

Vlad Surkov simulacra defeats NATO

Every day since March 2013 deployment of the 5,000 simulacra patterns by Russia against the World Wide Web, NATO can only LOL and LOL at every move Russia and USA makes in self-destruction of the Earth.

It's compulsive. People are entirely unable to resist LOL at Donald Trump. He is the most powerful human to ever walk the Earth, able to command people at any moment to flock to media systems and LOL away. NATO never stood a chance, since March 2013, the samizdat is irresistible to any audience via any venue, live or recorded, the compulsive behavior works every time and grows in popularity with no bound
