See the work of philosopher David Livingstone Smith for in-depth, highly readable, explanations of the centuries old practices of dehumanization propaganda, from medieval art abotut Jews to the Nazis. to the Rwandan genocide.

@kissane Are the videos intended to provoke pro-ICE or anti-ICE reactions?

@kissane Yup. A lot of people want to see other people hurt.

And we go around making technology & politics like these people don’t exist at all.

We create these tools that are basically playing fields for far-right recruitment actors.

The tech leaders could be excused for being ignorant of this if they were regular people. Knowing this requires some knowledge and smarts.

But if you’re smart, it is assumed you know this, and are ignoring it. On purpose, for profit.

@kissane

oh you just know the Regime would love to see Rwanda-style massacres on the streets of America. They fap to such fantasies of rape, pillage and murder.

@kissane You can instantly tell the videos are fake because none of the ICE / CBP dudes are wearing masks.

@kissane this is designed to sowe distrust in online reporting...

@kissane
probably pointless for this audience, but anyway.

boycott meta inc, facebook, whatsapp, instagram and threads. particularly whatsapp, because it leaks almost all metadata to facebook for abuse.

@kissane How is this not the same level of criminality as a weapons dealer?

Two years ago, I wrote at very great length about how this played out in Myanmar. It is so upsetting to see how many of the same dynamics are at work here now.
