Welcome to GeoPolitiQ

A short introduction to my new substack

1. Why this, why now

We live in a strange world… at least here in the West, where mainstream media is completely politicized, where “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength” (cit. George Orwell, “1984”), where “democracy” is just a word and those in power are actually just representing the interest of very few people (hence we actually live in an oligarchy), where most “journalists” are the lapdogs of those who have power, instead of being the watchdogs of democracy. So, in a world of “darkness”, where it is difficult to disentangle propaganda from facts, I hope to bring some light and discern truth and reality from the lies we are fed on mainstream media.

2. Who am I?

I am not going to tell you who I am, but I can tell you for sure that I am not a geopolitical expert, but I have always had an interest in geopolitics since I was a student in school, trying to understand more about the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. I follow and subscribe to different substacks talking about geopolitics, which I invite and recommend you to follow and/or subscribe.

3. What to expect

I have a full-time job not related to (geo)politics, hence you will not see frequent and/or long articles. So, for the time being, I will not activate paid subscriptions.
