Propaganda, Media, Their Role in Shaping the Perception of Freedom, Creating False Freedom

messages.sharePost :

In this scientific article, the fundamental problematic question is raised: Is the freedom promoted by the materialistic, capitalist liberal system, based on individualism, profit-making, and unlimited consumption, true freedom or illusory freedom? Is there a more just alternative model?

Based on this question, the concept of the illusory and deceptive freedom, advocated and promoted by savage capitalist materialist liberalism, was defined. This freedom is based on the principles of individualism, self-love, as well as the desire for material possession and unlimited consumption. Furthermore, the tools of media control, artificial intelligence, and technological dominance, predominantly held and controlled by the United States, were described. Through these tools, the U.S. promotes and imposes its model, sometimes through enticement and at other times through intimidation.

Subsequently, the concept of true freedom was defined, one that is founded on a balance between the material and the spiritual, and grounded in ethical and human values. This model is endorsed by the Abrahamic religions, particularly Islam, where the guiding principle for all individual or collective conduct is the boundaries set by Allah, Almighty.
