For many years, I made a sincere effort to give everyone a fair shake. Just because someone associated with toxic people, I didn't automatically write them off. 1/10

But there comes a time, as we realise the impact that those toxic connections have on a much broader range of interactions, when we have to say, "Sorry... your association with toxic individuals is unacceptable and an indication of your tacit approval of their behaviour. 2/10
It's time for us to part company."
And I get it... There have been times when I tried to "tolerate" someone's behaviour, to maintain cordial business relationships myself.
But here's the thing... 3/10
🔥 Your on-going association with someone who is attacking members of our community without provocation, is endorsing their behaviour. 4/10
🔥 Endorsing someone who regularly takes advantage of others, for their personal financial benefit, and then stabs those who helped them in the back after their usefulness no longer remains viable is a tacit endorsement of that behaviour. 5/10
🔥 Remaining silent, when such persons attack others, conduct themselves in unethical ways, and continue to sow seeds of division in an already fragmented community is complicity in those attacks. 6/10
And it reflects directly on you and your practice... Even when you think your own integrity will speak for itself (it does... it tells us that you're willing to look the other way for a buck). 7/10
What's more, if you think that not calling such vile and reprehensible people out for the damage they cause would provoke the ire of sacrosanct "elders" of our traditions, then you're not only ethically bankrupt... you're a coward. 8/10
That said, I will no longer, in good conscience, continue to promote those friends who haven't quite learned their lesson, when they agree to line the pockets of such individuals, by participating in their events... 9/10
Toxicity and bad behaviour... even when it comes packaged in decent production value... is not acceptable.

The common understanding of propaganda is that it is intended to brainwash the masses. Supposedly, people get exposed to the same message repeatedly and over time come to believe in whatever nonsense authoritarians want them to believe /1

And yet authoritarians often broadcast silly, unpersuasive propaganda.

Political scientist Haifeng Huang writes that the purpose of propaganda is not to brainwash people, but to instill fear in them /2


When people are bombarded with propaganda everywhere they look, they are reminded of the strength of the regime.

The vast amount of resources authoritarians spend to display their message in every corner of the public square is a costly demonstration of their power /3

In fact, the overt silliness of authoritarian propaganda is part of the point. Propaganda is designed to be silly so that people can instantly recognize it when they see it


Propaganda is intended to instill fear in people, not brainwash them.

The message is: You might not believe in pro-regime values or attitudes. But we will make sure you are too frightened to do anything about it.

I have documented this in many threads which I will post here just to annoy everyone.
