FASCIST-O-METER: Classifier for Neo-fascist Discourse Online
Neo-fascism is a political and societal ideology that has been having remarkable growth in the last decade in the United States of America (USA), as well as in other Western societies. It poses a grave danger to democracy and the minorities it targets, and it requires active actions against it to avoid escalation. This work presents the first-of-its-kind neo-fascist coding scheme for digital discourse in the USA societal context, overseen by political science researchers. Our work bridges the g…

'the observation by Marc Dunkelman that digital technology has not obliterated our social connections but rather warped them. Americans today are in constant contact with the inner ring of family and the outer ring of "tribe"—that is, people we follow online, often because we share something in common, such as a sports allegiance or a political ideology. But the middle ring of community has atrophied. We know our online avatars better than we know our neighbors; we interact wit…

Towards Designing Social Interventions for Online Climate Change Denialism Discussions
As conspiracy theories gain traction, it has become crucial to research effective intervention strategies that can foster evidence and science-based discussions in conspiracy theory communities online. This study presents a novel framework using insider language to contest conspiracy theory ideology in climate change denialism on Reddit. Focusing on discussions in two Reddit communities, our research investigates reactions to pro-social and evidence-based intervention messages for two cohorts o…

From David Suzuki
It’s hard not to conclude that much of the world has been taken over by idiots. Sure, there have always been uninformed politicians & those who let their ideology stumble ahead of their wits. & some who seem more sociopathic than stupid, waging brutal wars & massacres with no regard for the lives, families and communities they destroy under whatever nationalistic banner they concoct to justify their actions.
Lately things seem extraordinarily stupid.…

See, this is another problem with the chatbot bullshit. Here, an OpenAI featured chatbot is pushing extreme surgeries to 'subhuman' men saying they won't be able to find chicks no matter how much confidence they fake.
Dudes, let me tell you, this is TOTAL bullshit. I mean, if I can find a wife, ANYONE can. 😂 The incel bullshit is so sad. It's all lies, they're believing all these lies.

The key is not allow boys to be raised by older boys, even ones who are legally adults. By the time they’re thinking about dating, they are likely to be ruined.
The problem is too much gendering in childhood. So many people are raised to think in binary gender terms compelled to conform to gender norms and believe in binary-gender ideology.
I will never run out of gratitude for being the only boy in my family for much of my childhood.

Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor argue that there’s no real MAGA vision at all.
Instead, they write, “the governing ideology of the far right in our age of escalating disasters has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism.”
This is an “end times fascism” that is taking advantage of social and environmental catastrophes
and “simultaneously provoking and planning for them.”

Fascism, the ideology we never wished existed, was made even worse by Hitler’s Nazism. If you support any of this hateful behavior, go fuck yourself.

The relationship between episcopal genealogy and ideology in the Roman Catholic Church
In this study we investigate how hierarchical structures within the Roman Catholic Church shape the ideological orientation of its leadership. The full episcopal genealogy dataset comprises over 35,000 bishops, each typically consecrated by one principal consecrator and two co-consecrators, forming a dense and historically continuous directed network of episcopal lineage. Within this broader structure, we focus on a dataset of 245 living cardinals to examine whether genealogical proximity corre…

Nazi slogans trigger scandal at German school
A report of an antisemitic incident in a high school coincided with the arrest of teenage rightwing extremists last week. This has triggered a debate over whether Germany's youth is embracing Nazi ideology.

Please don't call it "politicized science". What #RFKjr and his ilk are doing is not science. Science does not discard data that disagrees with the researchers desired outcomes.
They are purposefully ignoring and hiding any information that contradicts their beliefs. That is not science, that is censorship and lies in favor of an ideology.

Stephen Miller: 'the regime must use communist tactics — enforcing correct words and correct thinking and correct values — in order to fight, wait for it, “communist ideology.”'

Advice to the Players - Frank Bidart
There is something missing in our definition, vision, of a human being:
the need to make.
We are creatures who need to make.
Because existence is willy-nilly thrust into our hands, our fate is to
make something— if nothing else, the shape cut by the arc of our lives.
My parents saw corrosively the arc of their lives.
Making is the mirror in which we see ourselves...

Party Ideologies and Political Polarization-Driven Conflicts: A Study of the Global South
Post-World War II armed conflicts have often been viewed with higher scrutiny in order to avoid a full-scale global war. This scrutiny has led to the establishment of determinants of war such as poverty, inequalities, literacy, and many more. There is a gap that exists in probing countries in the Global South for political party fragmentation and examining ideology-driven polarization's effect on armed conflicts. This paper fills this gap by asking the question: How does political identity-indu…

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg‘s recent public support for Donald Trump did not come as a shock to those who know or have closely worked with him.
Dozens of people who have either worked with or known Zuckerberg told the Financial Times that the CEO’s more public shift toward Trump is just Zuckerberg displaying the more “authentic” version of himself to the world,
even though he was once known to support liberal ideology and voiced opposition to Trump’s policies during the first admini…
