Thats Questionable 9

The basis of Sam Keen’s argument about -who the enemy is- seems to be based on what level of propaganda is put forth by one group about another group and hinges on the personal perception of the person interpreting the propaganda. Accepting this argument might mean that most people fit into a category of ‘unthinking masses’ who base their idea of who the enemy is on fear and media depictions of others. The point that I think is questionable, and I’m not totally sure if Keen asserts this or not, is that the evil-other only exists in our perceptions and is based solely on propaganda, fear, and hype. In my opinion, actions of people, certain leaders, groups and governments can be viewed as evil based on fact, not just propaganda and media hype.
