#divideandrule — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #divideandrule, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Haven't listen to Surviving Society podcast for a while. So, now listening to a Aaron Winter reflecting on the arguments and themes in his and Aurelien Mondon's book, Reactionary Democracy: How racism and the populist far-right became mainstream.

    Very clarifying how racisms function in how a democracy moves from liberal to authoritarian or illiberal; how these two forms can exist together as we see now; how racism works to get people to vote against their own interests, and much more.

    Thanks for tooting the #divideAndRule element, it's something we've gone to some lengths to point out over the years.

    Talking about #colonialism, we must mention:

    1) The outlet #Counterpunch goes through #CloudFlare, a mega corporation being silently permitted to take over the internet under the pretext of protecting against bots (#DDOS).

    2) @haiku_shelf Please don't help #dogCoinPusher colonise an entire letter of the alphabet with their #rebrand of #twxtSite. 😉

    Well done!

    It looks like the #dotCons are going down the partisan path, with #DogCoinPusher doing the Fox side and BlueSky, the CNN side. Togather they'll continue the old #divideAndRule, bi-partisan model. Toxic. Time to move to federated.

    If interested, here's a fediverse icon (and repo) anyone may use (and/or mirror) on Codeberg :) Its more accurate to say Fediverse over Mastodon.

    Other names for "so-called left" include #identityLeft", which kicked in the distract from #Fakebook paying off #MurdochRags and #legacyMedia earlier in the years.

    That Facebook #bribery should have caused a #protest.

    #Corporations don't need to offer growth or a good #qualityOfLife if they can give people an enemy. Then people will work as slaves and work to death. The two enemies, #COVID19 and #China, or to use the #MikePompeo euphemism, #CPP, are a strong combo, the #identityLeft will dob in #badNeighbour for not wearing mask, the #right will dob in those who sympathise with Chinese.

    Together you have complete #divideAndRule.

    3/3

    - pit #neighbourAgainstNeighbour (increase #divideAndRule and #tribalism, see #maskDebate as one example),
    - increase #bureaucracy (some might call these #protections) in the #publicHealth,
    - reduce other protections (that get in the way of #corporations profits), while maintaining them for #islands/#sanctuaries
