CONCLUSION:

WHAT WE ARE WITNESSING IS A TREND TOWARDS TOTALITARIANISM

The sentence quoted above as an example of the “Euromyths”, against which the EU fights to defend the democracy, is neither a myth or a disinformation, nor is it directly an anti-EU propaganda or a criticism of the EU as such.

However, some “Task Forces” are applied to fight against such “myths”. We have been told that such “myths” shall be monitored, collected and saved somewhere, that the persons, organizations or institutions which spread such “myths” shall be monitored, and that the sanctions may be imposed, while protecting the integrity of elections.

Something like a “modern Pavlik Morozov” has been promoted:

“The EU encourages NGOs and citizen-run organisations to be active and vigilant in identifying and exposing disinformation.”

Even if the present example “Germany 2050” will be removed and some other and better example will be presented, we still know now the thinking style of those people who are behind such a surveillance politics.

Actually, in the text it has been almost explicitly stated that the current political rulers of the EU are infallible, that the consequences of their policies are good and that, therefore, any criticism of these policies is a disinformation by implication — a thesis that is completely untenable:

“When citizens are aware about the positive impact of the EU’s policies and values on their everyday lives, they also become more resilient to the negative effects of disinformation.”

Note also that, above, a tacit assumption is included that the values of the administration are the right values — a messianic assumption leading to the moral and cultural hegemonism in the multinational and multicultural Europe.

In that way, a myth has been presented that a criticism of some particular policy of some particular politicians, together with some particular directives and resolutions and laws, is a “disinformation” and an “Euromyth” against which some “Task Forces” must fight.

It is a technique to covertly transform the basic principles of the Union, by making some particular policies non-criticizable.

And while we have been told that it is a fight against the disinformation, damageful to the democracy, it rather seems that what we are witnessing here is some Orwellian, anti-democratic and anti-liberal trend — a trend towards authoritarianism and totalitarianism.
