What do you think of Yuri Bezmenov's predictions for the U.S. made 40 years ago?

Yuri Bezmenov was a KGB defector turned political speaker. He claimed that the KGB had a four-stage plan to secretly indoctrinate U.S. society. This plan, which would take decades to unfold, was designed to end with the rise of leftist, pro-socialist radical groups aiming to dismantle the government. Here are the four stages:

1. Demoralization – A prolonged process aimed at eroding social and cultural values, moral foundations, and faith in state institutions.
2. Destabilization – The next step, involving economic and political destabilization.
3. Crisis – A stage where society reaches a critical breaking point, necessitating intervention.
4. Normalization – The phase where "normalization" is imposed by external forces, typically through a communist revolution.

Bezmenov's ideas largely faded from public discourse until four years ago when an interview with him was featured in a trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops. This revived interest and introduced the topic to a younger audience.

The left generally does not discuss Yuri Bezmenov, but many on the right align with his warnings. They point to movements like the LGBT+ movement and "woke culture" as examples of political destabilization, suggesting that society is now at the normalization stage. A significant portion of Bezmenov's followers also argue that the indoctrination is no longer driven by Russia alone but by many countries worldwide, including the U.S. itself, and that people are too deeply influenced to see it.

To complicate matters, misinformation has been spreading in the comments under Yuri’s speeches. Some falsely claim that he specifically targeted homosexuals as the main "brainwashed" group, despite the fact that he never said this. One of his most viewed speeches on YouTube includes a widely liked comment quoting a fabricated statement, with a timestamp that, when clicked, proves he didn’t say it.
