Russia presents their official point-of-view on the Ukraine war. But does the viewpoint of Ukraine (their administration) also have an official point-of-view on the issues? Who view qualifies as 'disinformation'? Here is what is presented to the public:
The Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) (Ukrainian: Центр протидії дезінформації) is a working body of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine established in accordance with the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine dated March 11, 2021 "On the creation of the Center for Countering Disinformation",[1][2] enacted by Presidential Decree No. 106 of March 19, 2021.[3]
The Center ensures the implementation of measures to counteract current and projected threats to Ukraine's national security and national interests in the information sphere, ensuring Ukraine's information security, identifying and counteracting disinformation, effectively countering propaganda, destructive information influences and campaigns, and preventing attempts to manipulate public opinion.
The official government's point-of-view is labeled valid for everyone even as the official government point-of-view of an opponent is labeled INVALID. Amazing logic. The Biden government does similar to that of Ukraine's government. Zelenskyy wants his official point-of-view to be valid for all Ukrainians even as Putin and Biden want their point-of-view to be VALID for all Russians and Americans. NATO wants their viewpoint to be valid for all of NATO. If views DIFFER than this is called DISINFORMATION. Amazing logic!
The reality in our marketplace is that PEOPLE (all colors and creeds) hold DIFFERING points-of-view on many issues (I would suggest MOST issues). My viewpoint is based upon my evidence and understanding. I would wager that your viewpoint is based on your evidence and understanding. Do we DIFFER on many (most) complex issues? I would suggest, absolutely. We differ in our wisdom, understanding, logic, and moral values. My sisters do not agree with my view on Monotheism (the nature of God). Is this typical in your area of reality? I bet this is similar in our area also!
As human beings we NEED to accept differing points-of-view on issues of reality. Why? Is the Ukraine war an issue with only ONE valid point-of-view? I would suggest that our marketplace destroys this idea. Scott Ritter has his viewpoint on the validity of the Ukraine war. Biden has his viewpoint. Zelenskyy has his. Putin has his. I have mine. Each viewpoint will DIFFER on many issues. Is this reality as of 2023? I think so! The marketplace reveals that human beings have differing points-of-view!
Our world is made up on some 8 billion citizens (as of today). Every citizen has a point-of-view. Can any ONE citizen speak for the other 7.9999 billion? Can ONE citizen hold an OBJECTIVE point-of-view that is valid for everyone? My sense is that this is IMPOSSIBLE. Reality is subjective at the core and we each hold a viewpoint which is SUBJECTIVE (based on marketplace evidence). My view is subjective even as I attempt to present my view as valid for others. I can not DEMAND full agreement as your viewpoint would then be INVALID.
My sense is that we need to accept the idea that reality is RELATIVE (among citizens of this planet). God is not here to present the ONE objective point-of-view. This means that we humans (agents of God) must ACCEPT differences. Our CREATOR has made us different. Our logic on reality is discerned via our EXPERIENCES in the NOW. My experiences can never be YOUR experience. We are each UNIQUE and different at the CORE. Our POTTER has created us to be different. That is my logic on this issue!
Today, at the clubhouse, a friend presented his viewpoint as OBJECTIVE for everyone. I disagreed, this led to my friend EXITING the venue. Apparently, disagreement was not allowed (the issue was religion). Is it TIME to abandon this idea that their is ONE objective point-of-view on religion...on science...on politics...on reality? My sense is YES. I, personally, have abandoned the idea that anyone is capable of presenting ONE objective point-of-view. I accept you as DIFFERENT and entitled to YOUR unique point-of-view on any ISSUE or EVENT. Have a great day! Think for yourself on all these ideas!
