A quotation from Steven Levitt
No one is more susceptible to an experts fearmongering than a parent. Fear is in fact a major component of the act of parenting. A parent, after all, is the steward of another creature’s life, a creature who in the beginning is more helpless than the newborn of nearly any other species. This leads a lot of parents to spend a lot of their parenting energy simply being scared.
Steven Levitt (b. 1967) American economist and author
Freakonomics, ch. 5 “What Makes A Perfect Parent?” (2005) [with Stephen Dubner]More about this quote: wist.info/levitt-steven/69301/

🤖 Oh no, #AI companies want us to be *afraid* of their mysterious #techno sorcery! Because nothing boosts business like a healthy dose of fear-mongering and existential #dread, right? 🙄 Meanwhile, the British Broadcasting Corporation insists on listing every single country and region in existence—who knew #geography was their true passion? 🌍🔍

News.com.au serving up Cold War leftovers again. Now we’ve got a “cyber expert” warning that China could make EVs explode. Next they’ll tell us Beijing controls your toaster. Laughable fearmongering dressed as journalism.

They: Climate mitigation mustn't impair social justice.
Me: So you want climate justice?
They: No, that would impair capitalism. We want capitalism to keep impairing social justice.
Me: So you're just fearmongering to distract from your cruelties?
They: Of course. That's what we always do.

> The only thing to fear,
> are the fearmongers themselves.Along those lines, you might like my 9/11-related story, "Packaged Terror." It's a true story I waited to 2015 to write, and it's now been another decade since that, but it seems newly relevant of late. And I also hope you'll find it oddly entertaining, even as the message is deadly serious.

@wdlindsy “voting with bullets” can’t become the norm.
An exGF commented that “we’ve stopped the jack-booted thugs from taking our guns”.
I’ve yet respond that #fascist #fearmongering has her believing that, leading to her hate of #libtards, while in reality gun laws have never been so loose, permit-less #opencarry with #standyourground laws allowing murder of anybody you deem a threat, irrespective of their actual intentions or even if they’re armed.

@GottaLaff I think #kamalaharris needs better answers for initially reversing #trump #immigration policies. I’d hope it was done for basic human dignity: not locking up 1000 people because there might be one criminal, not taking children from their families where they may never be reunited.
I’d also suggest she hit harder against #maga #divisiveness: foreign (#putin, #murdoch ) #disinformation filled #fearmongering leading to #usvsthem hate.

When it comes to #reporting on #NorthAmerica’s #OverdoseCrisis — the worst in our history — #misleading articles can increase #stigma against people who use #drugs, skew the public’s understanding of the issue, inspire #BadFaith policy and make it more difficult for other #journalists to gain the trust and respect of #MarginalizedCommunities.
Which brings me to a splashy, new piece of drug #journalism from U.K.-based newspaper the Telegraph, falsely claiming that #decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of drugs “made #Vancouver the #fentanyl capital of the world.”
The Telegraph’s story, like others before it, makes a number of other #misleading claims, including stating that #SafeSupply programs, which provide pharmaceutical alternatives to street drugs, are making the situation worse because that supply is being sold to street users, including young people. Some safe supply is being diverted, but there is no evidence that it’s led to more deaths or teens forming new addictions.
Reporting like this misses important context about the #DrugCrisis, allowing #politicians to drum up fear about #HarmReduction rather than confront how decades of #prohibition have impacted the current #FentanylCrisis. After the 2010s crackdown on prescription pain pills, many people dependent on #opioids turned to heroin instead. Eventually, #DrugTraffickers began cutting heroin with fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 times stronger, that is also cheaper and simpler to make and smuggle.
