Excerpts from chrisinsilico mea culpa, Mindfuck. He was in the room when MAGA and all this nonsense began. What Unites Ruscism, Axis of Misogyny, Paleo-Conservative & Anti-Woke campaigns?

They want to destroy the post-World War II legal order.

The consensus that aspiration towards equality of opportunity for everyone is the ONLY legitimate goal for democratic societies.

Anti-Equality rhetoric's Other categories of humans: Women, Trans, Remainers, Immigrants, Ukrainians.

Then they use this Othering to win power to roll-back the legal order instituted after WWII.

These instruments are a total package. Any rhetoric proposing to unpick parts of this complex indicates ignorance or strategic goal of reversing the post-WWII legal order.

Genocide Convention.

Refugee Convention.

Laws of War.

Equality Conventions (ICCPR & ICESCR).

Human Rights laws.

Anti-Discrimination laws.

Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to B messages, to achieve maximum engagement. Now CA had users who (1) self- identified as part of an extreme group, (2) were a captive audience, and (3) could be manipulated with data. Lots of reporting on Cam- bridge Analytica gave the impres- sion that everyone was targeted. In fact, not that many people were tar- geted at all. CA didn’t need to create a big target universe, because most elections are zero-sum games: If you get one more vote than the other guy or girl, you win the elec- tion. Cambridge Analytica needed to infect only a narrow sliver of the population, and then it could watch the narrative spread. Once a group reached a certain number of members, CA would set up a physical event. CA teams would choose small venues—a cof- fee shop or bar—to make the crowd
feel larger. Let’s say you have a thousand people in a group, which is modest in Facebook terms. Even if only a small fraction shows up, that’s still a few dozen people. A group of forty makes for a huge crowd in the local coffee shop. Peo- ple would show up and find a fel- lowship of anger and paranoia. This naturally led them to feel like they were part of a giant movement, and it allowed them to further feed off one another’s paranoia and fears of conspiracy. Sometimes a Cam- bridge Analytica staffer would act as a “confederate”—a tactic com- monly used by militaries to stir up anxieties in target groups. But most of the time, these situations unfolded organically. The invitees were selected because of their traits, so Cambridge Analytica knew generally how they would react to one another. The meetings took place in counties all across the
Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to B United States, starting with the early Republican primary states, and people would get more and more fired up at what they saw as “us vs. them.” What began as their digital fantasy, sitting alone in their bedrooms late at night clicking on links, was becoming their new reali- ty. The narrative was right in front of them, talking to them, live in the flesh. Whether or not it was real no longer mattered; that it felt real was enough. Cambridge Analytica ultimately became a digitized, scaled, and automated version of a tactic the
