#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.

  5. @Mer__edith I think that one would prepare such legislation if one thinks that civil discourse will become illegal under coming legislation and there are no measures at the moment to censor accordingly. There seems to be a shift towards state power over people, towards taking control over communication. This meddles with and breaks the basic interpersonal fabric of our relationships being personal. As such it drives division between the people. #divideandrule is not in serving the people.

  6. @JohnLoader6 @IndyRichard @steviesyerda @bbcnews it would probably make for a more healthy country if we were all able to access each other’s news services. The current policy of ghettoisation does not add transparency and understanding. #DivideAndRule

  7. @Codeberg @hexaheximal
    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.

  9. @CyclingJourno @Sc0tty Let's be clear - the Tories like to blame someone else as a way of distracting the public from the dynamics of capitalist inequality and extractivism. 1970s/80s - blame the Unions and flog off pulbic assets, 2010s blame Gordon Brown and impose austerity, 2015 blame Europe, 2021 blame the pandemic, 2022 blame Truss, 2023 - blame the public sector unions & migrants. #DivideAndRule

  10. GOVERNMENT

    > Approves large scale removal of large #trees.

    > Blames people's pets (mostly #cats, but also #dogs re lizard populations) for the loss of local #wildlife in the area, while downplaying #habitatLoss via human expansion and #overdevelopment.

    #hypocrisy #pets #divideAndRule #auspol #australia

  11. @ijatz_La_Hojita
    Yes. More #divideAndRule. They condition the population to react to this sort of banal #identityPolitics so we don't focus on the important stuff — them and their abuses of power.

  12. CW: Transphobia, racism

    One thing that has cropped up is that people are claiming that the safety interests of black people and #Queer and #trans people are not aligned.

    This is untrue. A request for additional comms functionality is not a safety tool. Black people have also requested Block Party. #missedQuotePost

    This is a classic attempt to set minorities against each other promoted by fash using #DivideAndRule

    I'm busy right now. Don't @ me.

    #DontSpreadHate #AntiRacism

  13. CW: be ready for this take

    1938: #BankOfEngland and US #industrialists engage in #moneyPrinting to support #Germany as a stalwart against #Bolsheviks. They adopt the #swastika symbol.

    2020: #TheFed and #StateDept engage in moneyPrinting to support #BigTech and #Fortune500 as a stalwart against #Deplorables. They adopt the #syringeEmoji.

  14. CW: Long rant, gender, "toxic masculinity", society, misanthropy, negative.

    @dhfir
    4/4… about #journalist pay due to Fakebook domination. No need to look at #UBI. They just needed to #virtueSignal on mythical #narratives of #men behaving badly. Maybe wip out annecdotes of alleged #genderDifferences, etc.

    The divisiveness of alleged systemic #sexism thus serves #power.

    What easier way to split a nation than to split them by sex.

    #rhetoric #restrictTheFrame #divideAndRule #post2016Era #distraction

  15. @Humpleupagus
    Also a great way to #divideandRule.

    Imagine being able to #divide the population in half. Its very interesting that after #Facebook #cyberAttacked #Australia in Feb, a poor woman apparently commits #suicide over something that happened in the 1980s and an office #sexScandal in #Canberra is plastered across the #legacyMedia.

    #atomisation #distraction
    @becassine

  16. (3/3) You may think a #minorParty can buy a #television or #radio #commercial, and indeed that can, but mysteriously on the day of the broadcast #theProducer will axe the commercial, usually citing "#QualityConcerns".

    This is the devolving state of #elections in Australia, and just a few of the ways #foreignInterferance by the likes of #RupertMurdoch (#USA based) and other #corporateFascists, pervert #democracy.

    There's more, and we can elaborate.

    #auspol #divideAndRule #restrictTheFrame

  17. @yaaps @vidak
    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.

    #distraction #restrictTheFrame #divideAndRule

  18. Isn't it convenient that right at that moment #Australia was starting to have a national debate about #Facebook's dominance, and the #conflictsOfInterest that might arise while #journalists are paid by #socialMedia giant…

    …sex scandals popped up.

    #sexScandal #distraction #emotionalDrivenNarratives #identityPolitics #divideAndRule

  19. @TylerAbeoJordan
    Agree, the #moneyPrinter is printing like crazy, and people lay like a starfish.

    Its mostly the fault of #Facebook. They know how to keep people bickering or at the very least, distracted.

    #divideAndRule

  20. @njoseph

    #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.

  21. @thor
    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

  22. @realcaseyrollins
    Freemo mentioned "Money is obsolete".

    We agree. #Fiat is dead.

    Fiat is #latin for "Let it be so". If there's anything worth protesting its, #LetItNotBeSo or #HardCurrencyMatters, but no, the blinkers are on and #protesters are falling back into line with #LeftWhite, #BlackRight tropes.

    #UScitizens can't seem to stop falling for the same #divideAndRule tactics.

    #TheFed can admit they'll #bailout their #billionaireClass and people do nothing.

    Hashtags are for search.

  23. @jamewils
    We've been trying work out what makes #western and #westernising countries hate Muslims.

    Is the pedophila problem really real.

    Could the oppression of women be a #massLine to cover the #classLine of #DivideAndRule for #oilReserves and #naturalResources.

    Maybe they hate that Muslims are fundamentally opposed to #fractionalReserveBanking, and #interest on loans, which is the entire basis of the #pyramidScheme that's falling in the west.

    Or both?

    Please correct us if we're misguided.
