Trump uses social media as a weapon to control the news cycle. It works like a charm. His tweets are tactical rather than substantive. They mostly fall into one of these four categories. pic.twitter.com/XaK8tCpRy6

Endlich das Buch von @wphillips49 und @rmmilner fertig gelesen: "The ambivalent internet". Insgesamt fand ich es weniger spannend als das erste Buch von Phillips "This is why we can’t have nice things", in dem sie bereits das Phänomen der Internet Trolle untersucht hatte.

James Damore is wrong. It’s fine to discriminate against bigots and bullies | Laurie Penny – “The darling of the alt-right is suing Google – but intolerance on the basis of background is different to not accepting bad behaviour”
R.I.P.
#watch,
Icon on Vimeo – “A short animation by MBS, 2017.” [via nerdcore]
Conspiracy Theories: How I Became Fake News | Richard Gutjahr – “This is a true story about love and hate. A story about trust and despair A story about the internet and how it can be turned into a weapon. Richard Gutjahr works as a freelance reporter and presenter for German Radio & Television (ARD). He also writes for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Rheinische Post and Tagesspiegel and has had his own weekly column in Münchner Abendzeitung.” Heartwrenching.
Let Them Eat Sand Album Announcement – “An “apocalypse” that isn’t coming, but already here. All power to autonomous relief efforts, anti-fascists, the anarchists and the brave souls who understand what power has in store for us and what we must do to stop them.”
listen and
#learn
Organizing on a Sinking Ship: The Future of the Climate Justice Movement – “Our response to the climate crisis has been to rearrange deckchairs on the Titanic — but whatever we do, it isn’t working. It’s time to try something new.” Or maybe we missed the moment.
Social Media Is Making Us Dumber. Here’s Exhibit A. – “It would be impossible for a reasonable person to watch the eight-minute video and come away thinking Mr. Pinker’s point is to praise the alt-right rather than to make a psychological argument about political correctness, alt-right recruitment and how to better fight that movement’s bigoted ideas” Good example.
Dining as Nature Intended at O’Naturel – “At Paris’s first nudist restaurant, an artfully placed napkin and a bottle of wine helps.” Silly.
Anti-Vegetarianism Is Sexism in Disguise – “Our culture feminizes compassion. It also masculinizes meat-eating. Women become easy targets.” Fuck patriarchy.
#oldiebutgoodie
DOUBLE KING – “A film about love and regicide.”
The Paradox of Tolerance for Tech Companies – “Does a commitment to free speech mean we must support white supremacists?” The short answer, of course, is no.
Wollt Ihr den totalen Infokrieg? – “Militärisch organisiert in Gruppen, die Rekruten und Offiziere ernennen, versammelt ihr euch, akquiriert Neuzugänge und zieht mit „Sperrfeuer“ in Form von organisierten Shitstorms und Trolling in den „(Meme-)Blitzkrieg“ gegen Lügenmedien, politisch Andersdenkende und alle die, die es in Euren Augen verdient haben, wie zum Beispiel zu „liberale“ AfD Politiker.” Die Strategie als PDF.
Unter Beschuss – “Hater gab es schon immer. Heute sind sie vernetzt und schwer bewaffnet. Ihre Geschütze: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter. Seit 18 Monaten werden meine Familie und ich im Netz gezielt unter Beschuss genommen. Das umstrittene NetzDG hat uns eine kurze Atempause verschafft. Doch das eigentliche Problem sitzt woanders.” The video is above.
Unter falscher Flagge. Rechte “Identitäre” setzen auf Antiken-Pop. Die Geschichte ihrer Symbole dürfte ihnen kaum gefallen – “Es war also ausgerechnet ein polnischer Jude und Antifaschist in den USA, von dem die xenophoben Identitären sich – unwissentlich – ihr Symbol entliehen.” LOL.
Fakt ist… Post-Truth Politics und die Geschichtswissenschaft – Jakob Tanner – Very well written historic background of the notion of truth in philosophy and politics, PDF.
