Your Dunning-Kruger graph may be a bit off on you website... its missing the initial step and phase of topic discovery and the rapid confidence build up phase and for very left side. Otherwise the site looks great.

infoincontext.bsky.social•85 days ago

@tomadamczyk.bsky.social Thank yo so much! Yes, my Dunning-Kruger effect depiction is indeed modified to illustrate the effects of propaganda in my books & for this video. When I was teaching that in the Navy, I found it made it easier for Sailors to get the concept quickly.

@democracydocket.com @marcelias.bsky.social I started a podcast not because I want to, but for folks with larger platforms to listen to it, because they have several blind spots they are missing.

@democracydocket.com @marcelias.bsky.social hence we need to control the narrative. And we can do so, but it is not a conversation that is open to the public yet. Why? because you don't play poker by showing your cards.

We need to leverage the left's platforms with a unified message, NOW...

infoincontext.bsky.social•85 days ago

@democracydocket.com @marcelias.bsky.social MAGA is going to suffer, yes, it sucks, self-inflicted wound... we are sinking in the same boat, so we have to leverage their ANGER! Before they hit more pain. And turn them against MAGA via their own betrayal.

Propaganda hijacks virtues and biases...

@democracydocket.com @marcelias.bsky.social and if you're serious about doing something, I am sending you proof that I've been speaking about this for months. Here is a list of articles I've written for years; you can see the tie stamps & the topics.

I've also written 2 books about this very topic and how to defeat authoritarian propaganda. They use a playbook that is well known abroad, but new to the USA.

Romania's top court annulled an ongoing presidential election after accusations of Russian meddling and ruled on Friday the entire process, which had been due to conclude this weekend, would have to be re-run.

By the midterms, many of the MAGA fellow travelers are going to be second-guessing their support for Trumpism. We need to be willing and able to welcome them to the opposition.

tomadamczyk.bsky.social•85 days ago

I don't know about that. The power of brainwashing during this election was on full display. The MAGA movement has already, on more than one occasion, said that Trump can't do any wrong. I still remember his comment about standing in Time Square, shooting someone, and they still vote him in.

anteayer.bsky.social•85 days ago

There's the MAGA movement, and then there's the fellow Travelers who voted for him but aren't really engaged. Once the shit starts hitting the fan and they realize they've been grifted, there might be a window of opportunity to bring them over to the resistance.

Take this as satire. There is a tactical lesson in Charlie Daniel's Uneasy Rider lyrics where the hippie gets the good ol boys to doubt green teeth. Infiltrate X with truth nugget "conspiracies" from project 2025, which they have not read, so they start to look suspicious of him as truth occurs.
