Establishment media is making the case for mandatory service, quietly cultivating public consent for a more heavily-armed society

This 'manufactured consent' is a very widespread propaganda buzzword, and from the way it is mostly used there are strong doubts that many people have read the book where it comes from. But Herman and Chomsky's book "Manufacturing consent" is heavily used in Chinese propaganda circles, there is even a Chinese translation as you may know (while other Western books are censored in China. Why?)

This is pure propaganda that leads any discussion always to some sort of 'class struggle.' It's always a fight. It's all about us and them. If you don't share the opinion, you are the enemy. In this setting, no other solution is possible. Period.
