Context #PowerControlBarbaryCaptivityNarratives "The fact that until the end of the 1620s more Britons lived in North Africa than North America is largely overlooked, and historians have concentrated instead on the looming prizes of the New World rather than the allure and danger of the Barbary states. North African privateers--largely driven by western maritime technology and renegade captives from Europe--regularly captured English and colonial sailing vessels, and the captives were frequently exchanged for much needed hard currency. The slave traffic, of course, ran in both directions as British and Maltese corsairs captured 'Barbary Pirates,' and the exchange of captives became regularized and an important aspect of the Mediterranean economy. Matar theorizes that the North African conflict received little attention by contemporary writers simply because Europeans were often overpowered at sea and, as he has shown in his earlier work, Christians regularly converted to Islam.

Context #AdvocacyUKInstituteForStrategicDialogueISD "Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, jurisdictions and tech platforms around the world have taken steps to prevent or limit the spread of Russian propaganda internationally. There is, however, an additional constraint hampering the efforts of Russia and its supporters in spreading disinformation: language. This Dispatch investigates a coordinated network of volunteers working to translate existing Russian-language propaganda and disinformation about the war in Ukraine into over a dozen languages. This includes content from pro-Kremlin influencers, particularly the controversial Ukrainian blogger Yuri Podolyaka, as well as Russian state media sources. The volunteers, who have branded themselves 'Info Defense', operate Telegram channels for each of the target languages. They also administer specifically-branded Info Defense accounts on YouTube, and disseminate their content across the major international social media networks through a multitude of smaller accounts. The significance of this network is at the base level in which it functions : a grassroots, relatively decentralised and cost-free network for the translation and distribution of propaganda. This model may appeal to both state- and non-state actors seeking to promote narratives and content to international audiences, and is likely to pose a challenge for platform content moderation efforts.... In a video message promoting the newly formed translation network, Podolyaka elaborated on the role which he saw himself and his supporters playing in support of Russia's war in Ukraine. He spoke at length about the way in which media coverage and information about the war in Vietnam helped to deplete domestic support for the war in the US, ultimately leading to the US's defeat and retreat from Vietnam. According to Podolyaka, if the public in Western countries only knew that Russia was really fighting against evil Nazis in Ukraine, they would force their governments to abandon the fight, as they did in Vietnam. 'This is the truth that they want to hide from their societies, and our task is to bring this truth to them,' he said." https://www.isdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/the-info-defense-network-crowdsourcing-soldiers-for-the-information-war/ #IRLYouTuberYuriPodolyaka #2022_InvasionOfUkraine #PhenomnPropagandaDisinformation #ToponymEuropeUkraineDonbasDonetskPeoplesRepublicDPR #ToponymEuropeUkraineDonbasLuhanskPeoplesRepublicLPR #HandleTelegramTheEyeOfTheStormTEOS #HandleTelegramTheNodeOfTime #VlogCommonsence7885 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Wjx44gRwQ #NarrativeWarAmericaVietnam #NarrativeDenazification #MetaphorDeceitLugenpresseMainstreamMediaMSM #NMRURussiaTodayRTMargaritaSimonyan #PhenomnTalkingPointsRussian #OrgSyndicateAccordNetworkDecentralised #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson

The network's successes are still sporadic - a few tweets have reached viral influencers, and a few dozen videos on YouTube channels have garnered significant followings - but, for the first time, its content has had measurable reach. Moreover, the audiences it has reached are widespread and include influencers in Latin America, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. Combined with the sheer scale of the network, and the fact that it has reconstituted itself after repeated takedowns, these features mark Spamouflage as a persistent and increasingly assertive online presence with a limited but growing ability to engage real users." https://graphika.com/reports/spamouflage-breakout #PhenomnSpamouflageDragon Elise Thomas, Albert Zhang and Jake Wallis (2020).

Emancipation brought with it fears that these men would exact sexual revenge against white men through their daughters, as depicted in the film 'Birth of a Nation' (1915). The reinforcement of the stereotype of the Mandingo as animalistic and brutish, gave legal authority to white mobs and militias who tortured and killed black men for the safety of the public." https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/popular-and-pervasive-stereotypes-african-americans #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryMandingo #1915_BirthOfANation

In two recent YouGov polls, we asked respondents to guess the percentage (ranging from 0% to 100%) of American adults who are members of 43 different groups, including racial and religious groups, as well as other less frequently studied groups, such as pet owners and those who are left-handed. When people's average perceptions of group sizes are compared to actual population estimates, an intriguing pattern emerges: Americans tend to vastly overestimate the size of minority groups. This holds for sexual minorities, including the proportion of gays and lesbians (estimate: 30%, true: 3%), bisexuals (estimate: 29%, true: 4%), and people who are transgender (estimate: 21%, true: 0.6%).

Viewed in this way, whataboutism is an effective strategy. It works on the principle that offence is the best form of defence.

The statement's logic betrays a particular preponderance with skin colour where the mere act of switching from black to white is used to diminish the significance of the atrocity - following a logic along the lines of: "because there were white slaves before black slaves then it is no longer worth considering the plight (and therefore consequence for the ancestors of) black slaves" - in short, the history and historical consequences of slavery aren't worth consideration...

Ottoman capital of Istanbul imported as many as 2.5 million slaves from Christian Europe and parts of the Muslim and Christian Caucasus between 1450 and 1700 Muslim slave traders trafficked 17 MILLION slaves along the Middle East, Indian Ocean and North Africa. Compare that to the FIFTEEN MILLION slaves who arrived in the Americas Some 5000 Ethiopian slaves passed through just ONE port (daily) on their way to Arabia. In India millions of slaves were taken after many wars and enslaved The first legal slave owner in American history was a black tobacco farmer name Anthony Johnson. North Carolina's largest slave holder in 1860 was a black plantation owner named William Ellison. American Indians owned thousands of black slaves. In 1830 there were 3,775 free black people who owned 12,740 black slaves. Many black slaves were allowed to hold jobs, own businesses, and own real estate. Brutal black-on-black slavery was common in Africa for thousands of years. Most slaves brought to America from Africa were purchased from black slave owners.

From the 1960s-90s Johnson was predominantly known among academics who studied slavery, but interest in his (misrepresented) life has recently gained traction with the advent of digital sharing, discussion sites, and public forums. For instance, as of July 12, 2019 Johnson's Wikipedia page claims he was a 'colonist' sold by 'Arab slave traders,' though there is no citation for the latter claim, nor is it supported by historians. It was likely added by a user who hoped to redirect blame from the Atlantic Slave Trade toward the 'Arab Slave Trade,' a popular talking point among right-wing commentators. In his podcast disputing reparations for slavery, conservative pundit Michael Knowles reiterated this myth about Johnson without reviewing the available literature.

And then, it attempts to justify the bullying by using #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTradition (as if the process of repeating a slur transforms it into critique). It then uses a #ReasoningFallacyWhataboutism to justify #OtheringHateIslamophobiaAntiMuslim through conflating it with #OtheringHateAntisemitism (as if the forms of discrimination are somehow opposed to each other - rather than simply being two different forms - and so, are able to cancel each other out). It then attempts to pass off a generalised attack on various issues, which have received significant profile contemporarily i.e. #_CondemnationGender followed up with a plug for some dated #LiteralClassicBritishTV (whose humour is the product of the time when they were produced).
