RE: https://techhub.social/@shantini/115957020152303871
Being a marketer shaped my progressive politics more than I expected precisely because of this.
Once you see how much effort is being spent on marketing certain worldviews to you and how much of that can be studied, analyzed, and replicated - you can’t unsee it.
And you see the power that’s available for all of us to tap into to push back. The same kinds of marketing and communication tactics used against us can be used to amplify science, art, pro-social values, and progressive policy.
The right has been waging a coordinated campaign of swaying public opinion since at least the birth of the Federalist Society and backlash to Roe.
Their legal influence required creating an information and media apparatus that influenced first elite professional networks, then the public at large.
(For a recent example, just look at how much LLMS and AI have been relying on constant marketing and media attention for anyone to believe that these tools are “inevitable” or even “useful”. Their marketing and PR departments work very hard and are very well funded. For a reason.)

Gerade gelesen: Jeder 5. Jugendliche in Deutschland plant auszuwandern.
Da kann ich nur sagen: Reisende soll man nicht aufhalten.
Sie müssen erst einmal ein Land finden, das über "Einwanderer" glücklich ist und wo sie ähnliche Freiheiten und Grundversorgungen haben können.
Die haben wohl keine Vorstellung davon, was es heißt, auszuwandern.

"Ich muss Menschen töten, mit denen ich kein Problem habe, außer dass sie unter einer anderen Staatsherrschaft leben, die andere politische Ziele verfolgt als die meinige. Das ist der Grund, warum ich im Krieg auf diese Menschen schießen müsste. Und dazu bin ich - wenn es denn eine Sache des Wollens wäre - nicht bereit."
Das fasst es stichhaltig zusammen.
Aus diesem Interview:
@inthehands@hachyderm.io2026-01-20 18:05:59
What @… says is what a lot of us have been lamenting since the ICE invasion started. Shouldn’t local police protect citizens from ICE?? Why this hasn’t happened is a really good question. Factors to consider:
- “Obstructing a federal agent” is illegal, and local police / politicians feel constrained by that (even if the agents themselves don’t seem constrained by the actual law at all, only by what they think they can get away with)
- Police can in theory cite federal agents for e.g. traffic violations or illegal plate swapping after the fact, as long as they’re not “obstructing” the agents — but how do you cite a masked person with fake plates who refuses to give ID?
- Some police are visibly supportive of ICE, chumming it up with them and giving literal fist bumps; a nontrivial subset are outright closet Nazis. A lot of people don’t really see any need to go past “ACAB” as a full explanation for all of this — and certainly The ACAB Hypothesis is…um, not really being proved false right now in Minneapolis.
- I think some police quietly resent ICE for stepping on their turf, but that does not seem to have boiled up into actual confrontation in MSP. One police leader here painted it in early Dec as “some people want to instigate a confrontation between Minneapolis Police, and that’s not going to happen.” Police culture says that police should be a neutral party in a dispute between ICE and residents, and actually protecting residents would be taking sides. (Duh, yes, taking sides that way is your literal job, you dumbasses…but I digress.)
- Some police (especially leadership) really want to get on the community’s good side after the murder of George Floyd, and see this as an opportunity, but unfortunately this has materialized entirely as non-interventionist support: “We responded to a 911 call and help a distressed resident after her husband was abducted!” “We transported children left parentless on the streets by ICE safely back to their home!” “Our officers volunteered at the food shelf!” OK, nice, good for you buddy.
So yeah, I’m wondering this too, and am bitter about it. https://tilde.zone/@n1xnx/115928447564126393
