The creepy weirdos have identified the zero-day flaw of #institutions: they are not designed to change quickly. This is the anti-pattern.

@ZLabe but of course. How else can you further #ClimateDenial if you don't start ripping down the #scientific #institutions to solidify such denial?
Next up, make some fake private foundation, call it "Foundation for Climate Truths", and then have it funded by the petrol lobby.
Then, and this is keen: you crash the economy, vilify immigration, so that when #ClimateRefugees come a'knocking, you've already cultivated the #xenophobia necessary to distract people.
Check mate, #liberals 
A people that have lost faith in all the #institutions.

« C'est dans la conscience individuelle que la société joue son destin. Les institutions les plus admirables ne sont que des vestiges si les personnes censées les préserver n'en respectent pas l'esprit et sont incapables de les adapter aux circonstances . »

His bias is Cold War education of Soviet #institutions.
He’s not wrong.
The #American ethos is to #BeUngovernable.
The #Russian ethos is if the Golden Horde and Eastern Orthodox Catholics had a child out of wed-lock.
We are not the same.

Check out the newly published conference report “The Empire and I: Individuals in Empires and Postimperial Spaces”! The conference was organised by @GRK2571 at @unifreiburg (28–30 Nov 2024).
Written by Lara Forster & Kaja Plate, it explores personal perspectives on imperial frameworks.

H-Soz-Kult. Kommunikation und Fachinformation für die Geschichtswissenschaften"The Empire and I"As renewed imperial ambitions endanger our modern democratic systems, imperial research takes stronger interest in individuals and their actions inside imperial structures. While history has traditionally focused on the actions of “Great Men”, imperial studies now also focus on the entirety of imperial agents and subjects.
The #HybridWarfare strategy was put in place with Columbine.
9/11 was a failed test of #institutions knowledge-sharing, or lack thereof.
#SandyHook tested the response of the #BodyPolitic.

Infosec ExchangeThe Nexus of Privacy (@thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange)[Effective moderation of social media to curb genocidal content](https://www.dair-institute.org/tigray-genocide/)
"The 2020-2022 Tigray war is reported to be the deadliest armed conflict of the 21𝑠𝑡 century, with an estimated 600 to 800,000 documented deaths and more than 100 thousand victims of rape as a weapon of war. Social media platforms were instrumental in spreading genocidal content during the conflict, and failure to effectively moderate hateful content resulted in the murder of civilians. This work investigates the expertise and processes required to effectively moderate such genocidal content, and compares these findings to the expertise and processes prioritized by social media platforms."
@DAIR@dair-community.social's page has a 10-minute video and a link to the CHI paper, and a statement - which I'll include excerpts from in a reply.

Is #CollegeFootball a microcosm of extractive colonial authoritarian mindsets set to music, accompanied by intermittent violence, with lingering brain trauma?
Talk amongst yourselves!
“Coach tactics of intimidation, coercion, and bullying in college sports are vast, and, we argue, core to the institution’s #culture of control and discipline over exploited players.”

Where @ethanz tells us about the cultural power of #DontLookUp:
"But there’s something Don’t Look Up gets right. Many of our #institutions are failing us. The experts don’t know what to do. The feelings of terror and helplessness lead people to behave strangely and unpredictably. McKay doesn’t offer us a solution to an ongoing #apocalypse, but this #film, at its best, offers us a moment of #empathy. Look past the machinations of the politicians and the media stars, and look towards the people in the background trying to make sense of a reality that no longer makes sense, disrupted by #COVID or #climatechange or by a slide into #authoritarianism. If there’s a solution to this polycrisis, this interconnected mess of apocalyptic threats, it’s in the #groups working to live through this scary moment, not through the politicians or celebrities who’ll get to escape to their bunkers or spaceships."

In #America everyone speaks of the cost of the 'grocery' and the #Tariff ...
But nobody seems to take the MAIN problem into consideration
All
... truly all
#TRUMP actions
have been aimed at weakening and damaging #America
first trump attacked the #Institutions and the #Governament
dismantel it
then trump damaged the #Army eliminating capable officers
Then attacked the #Allies
now tanking the US #Economy
No Trump action has been in 'favor' of the #USA
...
Nobody asks questions ?
From @drjaredwesley.substack.com "Some #Conservative leaders in the West are refusing to do the hard work of building bridges across provinces. Instead, they are undermining national #institutions, elevating regional #grievances, and offering what we might call #performative #disengagement. The tactic may win headlines and satisfy the base, but it weakens the broader Conservative project at a critical moment in our country’s history."

The lifecycle of Rome was: Republic, Empire, then a millennia of Theocratic State, before capitalist #institutions tolerated #governance, economic #innovation, and #culture exchange by the #subaltern #counterpublic in their midst.
If that pattern of #history is applied to the #American Republic, the Creepy Weirdos intend to speed-run…all of it.

Veterans understand the concept "sacrifice," and the nature of the service results in military #humor: "the stories, the pranks, and the #laughter that made it bearable”, a way to promote #criticalthinking in a hierarchy and #institutions which both value and need people to question the #purpose of what they are doing every day that orders are given and meant to be followed.
“Of all of the #American legal #institutions now facing sustained attack, none would seem better positioned to push back against Mr. Trump’s strongman tactics than this class of wealthy and politically connected firms, known collectively as Big Law.”
