Gaming the Iran war and the Gaza Genocide Syndrome
Over the past 25 years, the U.S. has used “militainment,” the merging of media and war, to hide the realities of death and destruction. But the Gaza genocide has now made such propaganda impossible, which Trump and Hegseth are discovering with Iran.
It’s really interesting to see how media narratives can shape our understanding of complex conflicts like these. The way ‘militainment’ is described here makes a lot of sense.
