"Information manipulation"
"Domination of minds by negative emotions and addictions to social media"
"Being vulnerable to algorithms designed in the US and China"

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Because Trump has no mob ties to the Middle East. Read Catherine Belton Putin's people, and you will know why Trump doesn't move against his beloved Putin. The Russsian information nyx helped getting him elected. DT wants the same oligarchic system. Other reasons are historic ties and Real Politik

Just received two more emails this morning from the Russian trolls which more links to fake stories about Sandu and Kallas.
🧵 Kaja Kallas has become, indirectly, one of the targets of the Russian state disinfo machine.
As a part of 2-month campaign smearing Maia Sandu, Matryoshka bot network is today inciting a conflict between Sandu and Kallas.
Likely to put spokes in the wheel of the Moldova-EU summit.

Making people care that they are being lied to is also key.
It is easy to expose the lies of Trump and other populist politicians, but people want the lies. Even when those lies are against their material self-interest.
Like the X-Files motto, they want to believe.

People won’t trust courts or parties. They won’t believe evidence. They’ll be certain their side is right, no matter what reality says.
That’s not disagreement. That’s epistemic fracture. And once it sets in, it’s nearly impossible to reverse.

We built 20th-century democracies on the assumption that truth could be verified, public discourse could be deliberated, and those in power could be held accountable.
But the system those assumptions relied on, gatekeepers, shared facts, institutional trust, are in decline, and deservedly so.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

In these distressingly unpleasant political/ oligarchic times, I'm reminded that Plato suggested that the leaders of a republic should be the men and women who have the highest qualifications, and are the best trained — and would rather not have that position.

Pitch for a movie script: a US president searches for economic and political ways to ignite a national crisis in order to declare a national emergency and then restrict freedom of speech, habeas corpus, and rule by law, and cancel elections.
