DISINFO: Western attempts to destroy values, the family and the state are destined to fail

SUMMARY

The West's attempts to destroy basic values, such as the family and the state, threaten its existence on the one hand, and are destined to fail on the other.

RESPONSE

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative aimed at portraying the West and Western values as pernicious, immoral, degenerate and a threat to traditional values. The narrative about “threatened values”, one of the most common pro-Kremlin narratives, suggests that those who are committed to traditional values are now threatened by those who oppose them and instead seek to establish a morally bankrupt dystopia.

These narratives aim at portraying the West as depraved and endangering societies by imposing the same beliefs on other countries. It undermines progressive Western attitudes about a variety of normative issues, including the rights of women, ethnic and religious minorities, and LGBTQ groups, among others.

Read similar cases claiming that Western societies are decadent, worship money and are devoted to the obsessive search for pleasure, that the West seeks to degrade and discredit traditional values, the Vatican lobbies for sodomy, that Belgium is to prosecute the promotion of traditional family values, Europe legalises and declares paedophilia as a norm, Germany and the EU want to legalise paedophilia, or Incest is being legalised in Europe, and The West is lobbying for perversion.
