Problem
Dictators historically use a regime of lies to keep their true believers unconscious and or deaf to conscience. Autocrats corrupt select citizens whose interests are the regime’s and vice versa. Against those who oppose the regime, dictators appear to align with anti-corruption laws by using them against political opponents.
Authoritarians use lies, half-truths, misdirections, and justifications shaped by regime loyal “news,” sources or as legal prosecutions presuming guilt.
Working Solutions
Here are four public and private leadership keys to neutralize autocratic regime lies, which efforts have fallen into disrepair:
1. Develop and sustain popular, infiltrative messages and questions detailing authoritarian regime hypocrisies;
2. Publicize western language media highlighting free nation governments’ support of citizen and immigrant freedoms while keeping the rule of reasoned law with wise discretion, absent Orwellian tactics distrusting of the people;
3. Disseminate artistic influence via streaming video, movies, spoken, written, and still art that imply the beauty, creativity, challenge, and benefit of life with broadly shared freedoms and rule of law with reasonable discretion;
4. Effect free nation executive actions that by their nature, results, and notoriety bolster the credibility and earned track record of the broadly held freedom-ethos of constitutional republican democracies in practice.
