#TIL what #TESCREAL means. I'm impressed by the explanatory power of conceiving of this cluster of #ideologies as an #interconnected #aggregate which then get used to justify #harm

I feel like a lightbulb went on and that I understand the current state we're all in a bit better now.

Highly recommend starting with the @wikipedia article, which covers the #concept and some of the #criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL

Thanks go to #Bhante #Sujato (https://sujato.me/) for making me aware of the term.

Guilty pleasure: I enjoy watching #Lioness.

But does #Paramount need to be so obvious? The season opener begins with an asshole saying (paraphrased) that "#China spends billions in tuition for Chinese nationals to attend #US #universities, so why are you surprised when #graduates of those universities start espousing #Communist #ideologies and proclaiming the end of #democracy?" While showing a #NYT headline to that effect, mind you.

Give me a fucking break. The families who send their kids to US schools are the most #capitalist of all the Chinese. The ones idolizing the Chinese style of government start with #DonaldTrump.

Slave to the #system?
I deliberately left the bit about Bitcoin in my #Cypherpunk Manifesto article. I’d copied it and included a link to it. It was addressed to the W3 crowd on Nostr, who see Bitcoin as the savior. Here, Bitcoin is seen as the Antichrist, facilitating the rise of fascism. Both are oversimplified analyses. That’s why I’d been hoping for a discussion, as I’m not entirely sure myself.

However, both #Thiel and #Musk made their fortunes through predatory platforms, mainly via #PayPal. The most horrific things in the world happen because #BlackRock and the like speculate on food. Because the military-industrial complex is flooding the world with weapons. All without Bitcoin or crypto. There’s also the Bitcoin Africa movement, which simply doesn’t fit into the ‘scammer-hater’ narrative.

Nevertheless, I think that as long as the world is ruled by #money (and it will be for a long time to come), it’s better to have decentralized money than #centralized money managed by states or companies. In Germany, they say, ‘Money doesn’t stink’. With money, you can buy flowers for your loved one or weapons to fight the enemy.

The dollar and the euro are ultimately controlled by a select few.. Crypto could, if viewed positively, be #democratic. I think this is a worthwhile discussion.
Think in terms of #structures, not #ideologies.

Refactored Analysis of TikTok's Content Moderation

The #TikTok CEO's comments seem to confirm my suspicion: the #platform is designed to deliver #content without adequately filtering for #extremistviewpoints during its rapid-fire serving process. While a faster #review is technically possible when a #video is uploaded, the current #moderationprocess is clearly insufficient before #content is served to the public.

This #system works exactly as #badactors need it to. They abuse the platform to spread #radicalizedcontent, and #TikTok appears to do little about it. This is less a failure of #proactive effort and more a consequence of the platform's core #design.

The Algorithmic "#RabbitHole"

The system's priorities appear to be purely #political and #engagement-driven. If a user engages with one piece of #extremistcontent—even through an unrelated #hashtag—the #algorithm starts pushing a flood of similar extremist material to them. This creates a confusing array of user profiles that engage with conflicting #ideologies (e.g., both #extremistright and #extremistleft content), making it difficult to pin down a person's exact #politicalalignment.

I believe the #AI is designed to profile every possible vulnerability—#loneliness, #desperation, #politicalviews—to keep users #engaged for as long as possible. The system operates without any discernible #ethicallogic. If ethical guardrails exist, the #AI certainly doesn't appear to be learning in a safe or positive way.

Refactored Analysis of TikTok's Content Moderation

The #TikTok CEO's comments seem to confirm my suspicion: the #platform is designed to deliver #content without adequately filtering for #extremistviewpoints during its rapid-fire serving process. While a faster #review is technically possible when a #video is uploaded, the current #moderationprocess is clearly insufficient before #content is served to the public.

This #system works exactly as #badactors need it to. They abuse the platform to spread #radicalizedcontent, and #TikTok appears to do little about it. This is less a failure of #proactive effort and more a consequence of the platform's core #design.

The Algorithmic "#RabbitHole"

The system's priorities appear to be purely #political and #engagement-driven. If a user engages with one piece of #extremistcontent—even through an unrelated #hashtag—the #algorithm starts pushing a flood of similar extremist material to them. This creates a confusing array of user profiles that engage with conflicting #ideologies (e.g., both #extremistright and #extremistleft content), making it difficult to pin down a person's exact #politicalalignment.

I believe the #AI is designed to profile every possible vulnerability—#loneliness, #desperation, #politicalviews—to keep users #engaged for as long as possible. The system operates without any discernible #ethicallogic. If ethical guardrails exist, the #AI certainly doesn't appear to be learning in a safe or positive way.

Review of "Fascisme, nazisme et régimes autoritaires en Europe" (4 stars): Une lecture indispensable, mais il faut s'accrocher

https://bookwyrm.social/user/Autiste_VaudLeau/review/8534586

Un ouvrage général, mais malgré tout pointu, sur les notions de #fascisme, #nazisme et de #RégimesAutoritaires. L'auteur parvient à couvrir, en un peu moins de 300 pages, et à l'aide d'une abondante bibliographie, les traits qui définissent ces #idéologies du début du 20è siècle. Tout comme l'a fait Philippe Burrin, dans le livre précédemment lu, il met le doigt sur ce qui distingue l' #autoritarisme du #totalitarisme, le fascisme d'autres formes d' #ExtrêmeDroite.

Cette lecture permet aussi de montrer que notre époque, même si elle présente des similarités avec cette période, s'en différencie aussi énormément. Le monde n'est plus du tout celui du tournant entre le 19e et le 20e siècle. Comme on dit, l'histoire ne repasse jamais deux fois les plats, mais elle hoquette. La détérioration de nos démocraties post-Seconde Guerre Mondiale n'a rien à voir avec les balbutiements des démocraties d'il y a 100 ans.

Il va falloir s'y faire, mais nous ne vivons pas du tout un nouveau début de 20e siècle. Nous sommes au début du 21e siècle et nous devrons trouver nos propres termes pour décrire et définir les régimes dits #illibéraux, voire les nouvelles #dictatures qui émergent aux USA, en Europe de l'Est et qui semblent plus que frémir en Europe de l'Ouest. Après tout, nos ancêtres ont bien dû en faire de même pour faire sens des régimes fascistes, nazis, catholico-conservateurs et soviétiques, sans précédents, auxquels ils ont dû faire face.

D'ailleurs, en cela, ils ont été aidés par les promoteurs-mêmes de ces régimes. Aujourd'hui, l'extrême-droite n'a plus grand-chose à voir avec celle des années 70-80. Et d'ailleurs, les promoteurs de la nouvelle #GuerreCulturelle contre le #wokisme et le #gauchisme, se qualifient d' #altright ou de #FarRight . Sans se limiter à leurs propres auto-qualifications, je pense qu'elles peuvent nous aider à identifier ces phénomènes politiques. Est-ce que Trump est fasciste? Et Victor Orban? Vladimir Putin? Tayip Erdogan? Et Benjamin Netnayahou? En tous cas, il manque plusieurs critères pour classer leurs personnalités et leurs méthodes dans cette catégorie. Ça ne signifie pas pour autant qu'ils soient moins nocifs et dangereux que des #Mussolini, #Hitler, #Stalin, #Pétain, #Salazar, #Franco de cette époque. Mais pour les combattre et résister, il va falloir les étudier dans le contexte actuel et pas simplement tenter des décalques entre eux et les leaders totalitaires ou autoritaires des années 1920.

Cependant, ce genre de lecture reste essentielle, à mon sens, pour nous aider à faire sens de notre époque, parce que, comme déjà dit, l'histoire fait des crises de hoquet et qu'il faut voir quels sont les éléments philosophiques, moraux, idéologiques et politiques qui restent, se transmettent, renaissent ou se renouvellent. Et à quoi ils peuvent contribuer à donner naissance.
