Who controls the society?
The answer to that thing is simple. The person who has been introduced as the leader of society is the leader because people believe that thing. This means that the leader of the society is the person, who is controlling the information. When we are thinking about the freedom of speech and other kinds of things, we are seeing one of the biggest paradoxes in history. The same media that is rising the democratic leaders to the power rises also dictators to power.
But the same thing what create also destroy. The case of Belarus protests the key element is that without media Lukashenko could attack the protesters and force them out from streets. But the question is, what the members of those troops will tell at home? And the media is the thing, what rises the uncomfortable things in front of the people. The thing is without the media the police force could claim that protesters were only "a couple of childish people" who have removed because the law says that thing was right.
The thing in psychological operations the people of opposition can make blogs in the name of the reporters, who are supporting the president and that thing can cause arresting by OMON. That kind of thing might make the canyon between reporters and the president.
Press and media were tools, that brought faults in the society in the common knowledge, but that thing was the tool, that brought the power in the hands of the most brutal dictators in history. Social media is the thing, that brought many things in common knowledge, but that tool is also a very good place for cheating people, and that thing makes it different than we have to get used ever before.
The problem with social media is that we are accepting in our social circle only people who are similar to us. That thing causes that our opinions of the world are turning to polarized, which means that we ever hear things, what do not please us. So there is more information than ever before, but we must find the information ourselves. And who would like to read things, what is not pleasing us? When we are returning to the beginning of this text, there is a rising one very big question.
How many presidents have been elected by the media? That means the press just told people that somebody won the elections, even nobody has ever given the vote for that candidate? And here we are facing the power of media. The thing that media is a powerful weapon has faced even the most absolute leaders in the world. What if Lukashenko will order tanks to smash the protesters? What that thing will look like on TV? What those tank men will tell at home about that thing?
