deradicalization does not work at scale. not if the goal is explicitly to deradicalize.
but people do like to back winners and feel like momentum is behind whatever they're doing. build a movement that can reach and inspire the young men who don't suck and some one ones who do will derad themselves

NYSEG constantly sending me emails telling me how committed they are to reliable service during the winter gives the same feeling as having a partner who tells you they're never going to cheat on you out of nowhere, and with discomforting frequency.

Ever think about how most all the big political actors and dictators of the 20th century personally experienced the horrors of war and bloodshed?
Meanwhile, we’re watching a U.S. coup carried out by men who have lived lives softer than that of your average inbred French Bulldog in a sweater.

This is what happens when you get people implementing an authoritarian coup who have also never read a history book about how to do an authoritarian coup

So it turns out that compared to centralized distribution of digital information on the web, printed material in libraries provided a kind of distributed defense against the casual whims of an authoritarian government aiming to rewrite history.

Here’s my prediction: Trump is gonna back off on a lot of this pretty quickly and ppl will be so thankful that their particular cause is funded again, they will ignore the real targets that will continue to be defunded. Trump/Rs will frame Dems and MSM as scare mongering afterwards

there is nothing that makes me stop listening to someone faster than using snarky nicknames when referring to dangerous oligarchs. you're not funny or smart for calling him "elongated muskrat". please stop.
I can’t do the nicknames. It’s so cringey. I don’t know how people can convince themselves that the richest most powerful people in the world would be hurt in the slightest by being called Elmo or Drumpf. They’re people who can literally murder countries.

important description of "audience gathering" in disinfo- a tactic threat actors use early in the disinfo process. we used to call the use of hashtags for this ops "follow trains" on the other app 👇
Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/

Harassment, racism, and engagement farming are not “a difference of opinion.”
Had a chance to talk about BlueSky on Pablo’s pod—and why the echo chamber argument mischaracterizes what’s actually going on.
