There's a great article up by @cwarzel in The Atlantic about The Gleeful Cruelty of the White House X Account. It's a scary but thoughtful analysis of a grim societal trend, focusing specifically on how intensification is implemented via the ex-bird site, lately a cesspool of distilled toxicity from which many still regularly feed.

ESPECIALLY the part in Warzel's article about ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) made me shudder. The article is worth reading for that part alone.

(His post at BlueSky, which I've linked below, has what I think may be a gift link.)

Bluesky Social · Charlie Warzel (@cwarzel.bsky.social)I wrote about the White House X account — which is steeped in the sociopathic posting style of far-right extremists — and seems to get more sinister and cruel with its posts each week of the administration. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/03/gleeful-cruelty-white-house-x-account/682234/?gift=bQgJMMVzeo8RHHcE1_KM0fEulOousRZ7mgN3LeyPGbg&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

#israel #palestine #lebanon #syria : #war / #militaryattacks / #escalation

»In parallel with the resumption of operations in the Gaza Strip, which shattered the fragile truce signed with Hamas on January 19, Israel is pursuing a war of attrition on its northern borders against Hezbollah, an ally in Lebanon of the Palestinian Islamist movement, as well as against the new Syrian government, which it has described as a "threat to the State of Israel."«

Allport’s Theory of Escalation

Gordon Allport was a US psychologist who brought to us a theory of escalation, in 1954. This is a framework that explains how prejudice and discrimination can grow and intensify over time. It shows how small acts of bias can snowball into serious harmful acts if not addressed. We see it every day for all under represented groups, including women 3plusinternational.com/2025/01 #escalation

#australia #israel #palestine : #antisemitism / #islamophobia / #violence / #escalation

„A rash of antisemitic attacks in recent weeks has rattled the Jewish community in Australia, home to the largest proportion of Holocaust survivors outside Israel. There have been no reports of major casualties but the violence represents a dramatic escalation of tensions reverberating from the war in the Middle East, which has also spurred Islamophobic episodes in Australia.“

Allport's theory shows how small acts of bias can snowball into serious harmful acts if not addressed.

It has 5 Phases:
-  Anti locution  - casual negative talk, jokes, stereotypes, derogatory comments  
-  Avoidance  -  excluding people
-  Discrimination  - prejudice turns to action   
-  Physical attack  - hostility escalates to violence
- Extermination   - history has a habit of repeating itself

„Multiple projectiles launched from Yemen struck near Tel Aviv on Saturday, injuring 14 and marking a rare instance of Israeli defense systems failing to intercept. Houthi rebels claimed responsibility, linking the attack to the ongoing Gaza blockade and vowing further action. This follows previous Houthi attacks and retaliatory Israeli strikes, escalating tensions in the region.“

„Yemen’s Houthi rebels carried out missile attacks on Israel’s Tel Aviv. Media reports claimed that sirens blared across the central Israel as well as port city of Eilat. Meanwhile, over a million people rushed to shelter homes as missiles approached Tel Aviv. IDF, which acknowledged Houthi strike, retaliated with multiple aerial strikes in Sanaa and Hudaydah.“
