Extremist Manipulation Channels Out


Listen Later

Entering personal space uninvited, reframing shared space, and mistakenly establishing rules for civilized interaction. Extremism is a group effect based on herd stimulation, fueled by old, unresolved issues, and formed by easy-to-manipulate people.

What makes people easy to manipulate?

For the past five years, media disinformation and aggressive campaigns have predominated online and on television and have spread. For those reading books, the phenomenon could have been anticipated starting with the publishing dynamics and preferences in the last decades. The switch to disinformation has facilitated extremist grooming and gathering. As a result, the shared information space, which most of us use for information, entertainment, or interaction, has been used by extremist groups as a channel for manipulation.

All group dynamics, even personal ones, are recorded online. Every advertising campaign is paid for. Every extremist protest platform is aware of the monster forming under its nose and charges its fees. An ordinary citizen cannot afford these fees. Therefore, the open shared space appears unopened and shared only by a large segment of the population, usually fascist, toward a small segment, through the cult of personality. This is another interesting media ingredient for ensuring mass manipulation.

But extremism manifests itself, as can be observed, in poor areas and in certain specific international hubs. The poor areas are easier to influence since there is a lack of access, insufficient or absent transportation, and a lack of job opportunities. In the rural areas, where is hard to get, a person in a suit, with a nice car, sharing pens, plastic accessories, and maybe some snacks while screaming a slogan and wearing a portrait is quite usual and this is how they find the voters, people who are already in a sort of vulnerable position, isolated.

Thus, extremism develops both based on long-standing beliefs about unmet basic needs and suffering and is driven by the international corporate hub. Extremism is a provoked effect of inequality, which manifests itself at the group level with considerable intensity and poses a danger of species extinction and human genocide. Those who use extremist impulses and group manipulation must be stopped.

Whether it manifests itself collectively or individually, extremism is a serious mental health problem with long-lasting, ripple-like social consequences that we should learn to avoid and definitively stop it, stop the extremist chain development, not just observe it and take notes for decades...

Wishing death to others or comparing oneself to another human being by considering oneself superior is unacceptable in our world. We have laws to address this and inclusive educative approaches to guarantee the right to equality.

Today, we can observe a fine line between development and self-destruction. Violations of the rights of others, perpetual injustice, and extremism will always lead to social rejection and expulsion.

There is an international core of atrocities, as war is fueled to create businesses. Perhaps we should stand together, affirm that the patterns of crime are not what we want, that the increase in child murder and abuse is unacceptable, and put an end to conflict and this abominable war!

Instead, we are encouraged to applaud the less-than-nothings who have had to pay serious money to establish themselves, and whose titles, and wealth are based on the domination of social space—in other words, on trading with the poor. What should be inclusion projects, products, and technologies based and made for human rights, are transformed into incredible profits. As a result, vulnerability increases, inequality breeds discontent, lack of work, and stability breeds vulnerability, and this is how conflicts are born and maintained.

There is no true monster, no alien unless you cover your hands in blood and become one.
