#NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesStevenLeeMyers, #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesKenBensinger and #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesJimRutenberg "In early 2022, a young couple from Canada, Lauren Chen and Liam Donovan, registered a new company in Tennessee that went on to create a social media outlet called Tenet Media. By November 2023, they had assembled a lineup of major conservative social media stars, including Benny Johnson, Tim Pool and Dave Rubin, to post original content on Tenet's platform. The site then began posting hundreds of videos -- trafficking in pointed political commentary as well as conspiracy theories about election fraud, Covid-19, immigrants and Russia's war with Ukraine -- that were then promoted across the spectrum of social media, from YouTube to TikTok, X, Facebook, Instagram and #BrandTechSocialMediaAltRumble . It was all, federal prosecutors now say, a covert Russian influence operation. On Wednesday, the Justice Department accused two Russians of helping orchestrate $10 million in payments to Tenet in a scheme to use those stars to spread Kremlin-friendly messages. The disclosures reflect the growing sophistication of the Kremlin's longstanding efforts to shape American public opinion and advance Russia's geopolitical goals, which include, according to American intelligence assessments, the election of former President Donald J. Trump in November." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/07/business/media/russia-tenet-media-tim-pool.html #BrandTenetMediaLiamDonovan ^[Wikipedia] #ToponymAmericaNorthUSTennessee #ConspiracyTheory_StolenElectionBigLie #ConditionVirusCOVID19Pandemic #PhenomnImmigration #2022_InvasionOfUkraine #BrandTechSocialMediaYouTube #BrandTechSocialMediaTikTok #BrandTechSocialMediaXFKATwitter #BrandTechMetaFacebook #BrandTechMetaInstagram #BrandTechSocialMediaAltRumble #ToponymRussiaKremlin

It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition. ... What happened? Of course, there were larger forces at work beyond the realignment of the South. They included the mobilization of social conservatives after the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, the anti-tax movement launched in 1978 by California's Proposition 13, the rise of conservative talk radio after a congressional pay raise in 1989, and the emergence of Fox News and right-wing blogs. But the real move to the bedrock right starts with two names: Newt Gingrich and Grover Norquist. From the day he entered Congress in 1979, Gingrich had a strategy to create a Republican majority in the House: convincing voters that the institution was so corrupt that anyone would be better than the incumbents, especially those in the Democratic majority. It took him 16 years, but by bringing ethics charges against Democratic leaders; provoking them into overreactions that enraged Republicans and united them to vote against Democratic initiatives; exploiting scandals to create even more public disgust with politicians; and then recruiting GOP candidates around the country to run against Washington, Democrats and Congress, Gingrich accomplished his goal. ... The GOP's evolution has become too much for some longtime Republicans. Former senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska called his party 'irresponsible' in an interview with the Financial Times in August, at the height of the debt-ceiling battle. 'I think the Republican Party is captive to political movements that are very ideological, that are very narrow,' he said. 'I've never seen so much intolerance as I see today in American politics.' And Mike Lofgren, a veteran Republican congressional staffer, wrote an anguished diatribe last year about why he was ending his career on the Hill after nearly three decades. 'The Republican Party is becoming less and less like a traditional political party in a representative democracy and becoming more like an apocalyptic cult, or one of the intensely ideological authoritarian parties of 20th century Europe,' he wrote on the Truthout Web site. Shortly before Rep. West went off the rails with his accusations of communism in the Democratic Party, political scientists Keith Poole and Howard Rosenthal, who have long tracked historical trends in political polarization, said their studies of congressional votes found that Republicans are now more conservative than they have been in more than a century. Their data show a dramatic uptick in polarization, mostly caused by the sharp rightward move of the GOP." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/lets-just-say-it-the-republicans-are-the-problem/2012/04/27/gIQAxCVUlT_story.html And ^{[digital archives]} And https://www.aei.org/articles/ive-witnessed-the-decline-of-the-republican-party/ #AdvocacyUSAmericansForTaxReformATRGroverNorquist #1973_RoeVersusWade

Addendum #WebsiteHuffPostLeeMoran "Longtime political scientist Norman Ornstein on Wednesday explained why he believes the 2024 election is likely to go down as 'the most significant and most destructive' in America's history. The United States has previously chosen 'bad' and 'incompetent' presidents, Ornstein acknowledged to Zeteo's Mehdi Hasan. But, reflecting on Donald Trump's victory, Ornstein pointed out that 'we have not elected a president who has made clear during the campaign that he will be a dictator on day one and will destroy or shred the Constitution to whatever degree he feels it is necessary.' 'Even worse,' continued the emeritus scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank, are Trump's 'enablers around him from the Supreme Court through the other institutions.' 'My fear is not just Donald Trump, it is that the guardrails we have built up over two and a half centuries are not going to hold,' he added. Later, Ornstein expressed his concerns that normal restraints on Trump just don't exist. 'Maybe the worst won't happen, but it's going to be damn close,' he warned." https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/norman-ornstein-2024-election-donald-trump-win_n_672c87e5e4b01cfbdad3d9b4 #VlogZeteoUnfilteredMehdiHasan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aWc43M6q8E&t=56s #IRLSecurityAdvisorOliviaTroye #PoliticsAuthoritarianismDictatorship #2024_USPresidentialElection #OrgUSFedAFMArmyMichaelFlynn #IRLPoliticalStrategistSteveBannon #BrandAmazonJeffBezos #BrandTechMetaMarkZuckerberg #BrandFDRLSTMediaTheFederalistSteveMiller #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #PowerControlRegulationDeportation #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyKamalaHarris #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated #AdvocacyUSChildrensHealthDefenseRobertFKennedyRFKJr #OrgUSFedCentersForDiseaseControlAndPreventionCDC #OrgUSFedFoodAndDrugAdministrationFDA #OrgUSNtlInstitutesOfHealthNIH #OrgUSFedNationalWeatherService #BehaviourSchadenfreude #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPLizCheney #ReasoningFallacyBiasPartisanship

Supplementary "Oikeiôsis, which can be translated as 'appropriation', is the idea that, in common with other animals, as we grow in awareness, we extend our concept of 'self' to include first our care-givers, and then other beings similar to us. We appropriate them into our sense of self and begin to have concern for them. The Stoics' ethical application of this insight is that we should increase the extent of our Oikeiôsis. The aim is to reduce, as far as is practicable, the gap between the concern that we show for 'self' and the concern that we show for the various categories of 'other'. Oikeiôsis was represented by Hierocles as a series of concentric circles, often now referred to as the Circles of Concern, with the Mind/Self at the centre, and the series of outer circles containing categories of people at increasing distance from the self. Hierocles' idea is that we should strive to draw each circle closer to the centre, treating members of a given circle like members of the immediate inward circle. For example, one should treat parents like one's own body, and treat uncles and aunts like parents, and so on. By drawing the circles towards the centre, we aim to increase the concern that we show for all of humankind. The idea is not, however, to treat everybody the same. People are still in the relative circles. This is a key distinction drawn by Hierocles. We should, though, treat the members of each circle better than would otherwise be the case. We ought to treat others as we would wish to be treated in their position, in accordance with the four Stoic virtues (Wisdom, Courage, Temperance, Justice). In this way, we can deal justly with anybody because he/she is in at least the outer circle, a member of the human race." https://modernstoicism.com/oikeiosis-reimagined-the-circle-of-compassion-by-ray-pilling/ #IRLPhilosopherHierocles #TheoryPhilosophyStoicismOikeiosisCirclesOfConcern #TheorySociologySocialRelationshipsGemeinschaft ? #BehaviourEmpathy

Addendum this appears to be an edited/repurposed version of #CaricaturistKevinCarden's 'Father reads to children while holding shield' illustration https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-reads-to-children-while-holding-shield/412695814 Metaphorically, Carden's original talks about the idea of fathers (parents) shielding (protecting) their children from harm. Significantly, the shield protects from a generalised/non-specific threat not the overt #OtheringHateHomophobia.ic re-inscription shown here. The theme of 'protection/liberation' is clearly something Carden finds interesting - as is evident in other examples of his work https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-holds-up-shield/253391891 and https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-protecting-his-child/278610451 and https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/mother-and-son-under-umbrella/490793637 His illustrations tend to offer up exaggerated scenarios rendered in a 'fantasy art' style, which seem to be influenced by traditions of Christian imagery/metaphorization. Perhaps, the combination of visual style, sentiment and ideology made the image more accessible/amenable to those who produced the reedited version - I'm thinking specifically of its somewhat #CharacterisationSentimentality? #PhenomnRoleFamilyFather

James Tolbert, president of the West Virginia Chapter of the NAACP in 2005, told the Post that Byrd overcame his past by slowly embracing more progressive social views and owning up to his mistakes. 'I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times...and I don't mind apologizing over and over again,' Byrd said in 2005.

Supplementary #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPostCraigTimberg "Today's digital soapboxes are little like the old-fashioned kind. Researchers have documented the power of automation technology to magnify some points of view while drowning out others. Much of that research has focused on 'bots,' accounts programmed to follow instructions, such as automatically replying to tweets from other accounts. But Sobieski exemplifies the growing popularity of a variation, called 'cyborgs,' that mix human creativity and initiative with a computer's relentless speed, allowing their views to gain audience while sidestepping the traditional gatekeepers of news and commentary. Sobieski's two accounts, for example, tweet more than 1,000 times a day using 'schedulers' that work through stacks of his own pre-written posts in repetitive loops. With retweets and other forms of sharing, these posts reach the feeds of millions of other accounts, including those of such conservative luminaries as Fox News's Sean Hannity, GOP strategist Karl Rove and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), according to researcher Jonathan Albright. 'It's like a giant megaphone,' said Albright, an assistant professor of media analytics at Elon University, in North Carolina, whose research singled out Sobieski's accounts as having unusual reach. When Albright studied the most prolific Twitter accounts during the final two weeks of the election, he found that all of the top 20 appeared to support the eventual winner, Donald Trump. Among accounts using major pro-Trump hashtags such as 'MAGA,' for 'Make America Great Again,' two of the top three belonged to Sobieski." https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/as-a-conservative-twitter-user-sleeps-his-account-is-hard-at-work/2017/02/05/18d5a532-df31-11e6-918c-99ede3c8cafa_story.html #BrandTechSocialMediaXFKATwitterBotClickFarm #BrandTechSocialMediaXFKATwitterCyborg #NMUSFOXFNCSeanHannity #IRLPoliticalStrategistKarlRove #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPTedCruz #EDUUSColumbiaUniversityJonathanAlbright https://towcenter.columbia.edu/content/jonathan-albright

Context #WebsiteSnopes "Attesting to the growing influence of the KKK in American politics at the time, a platform plank favored by Smith supporters that would have condemned the Klan by name went down to defeat after a raucous debate that degenerated into fisticuffs. On the 103rd ballot, the delegates finally nominated a dark-horse candidate named John W. Davis, who, in contrast to his GOP counterpart, Calvin Coolidge, would take a strong stand against the KKK during the presidential campaign. Coolidge won the election by a landslide. Despite the fact that the Klan had sunk its tendrils just as deeply into Republican Party politics (an anti-KKK platform plank similar to the one rejected by Democrats met the same fate at that year's Republican convention), the extent of the group's supposed control over the 1924 Democratic convention has come to be exaggerated to legendary proportions. That is in large part thanks to the efforts of social media propagandists bent on tarring Democrats in particular with the legacy of the Klan's religious bigotry, xenophobia, and racism." ^{[fact-checked]} #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyJohnWDavis #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSCalvinCoolidge #MetaphorDeceitFakeReality
