Why not just post ref to Adam Curtis; he's the reason why folks in Britain and US have any awareness of the term hypernormalisation.

A term, btw, that's conspicuously missing from Russia Today's lexicon, because RT's bent is to propagandize U.S. Magat Republicans and Tories— The things you'll never learn on RT are anything about life and politics in Russia; it's perfectly western facing Kremlin claptrap.

Re Adam Curtis': see his other vids, especially Bitter Lake, All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace, and Can't Get You Out of My Head!
