I don’t find the videos of people destroying property and losing their sh*t in Target over masks funny or laughable. It only makes me think that all those unprecedented health data breaches enabled evil forces to micro target people with mental illness.
If you know or love someone who suffers from mental health issues, you can probably understand how if that person were constantly pumped full of terrifying virtual content that runs counter to reality, then are faced with actual reality (ie. being asked to put on a mask), (contd)
then of course it’s just a matter of time before they lose their sh*t. And they’re probably being primed/prompted to be sure to do it on camera.
Imagine this, but constant content about how the pandemic is an intricate hoax. twitter.com/i/events/10080…
I’m not saying any of this to excuse sh*tty behavior. I’m saying it because we need to hold those facilitating psychological warfare against vulnerable people accountable. I’m saying it because this kind of micro targeting causes widespread physical harm.
Oh.
This is what I mean by harm. It's harm from violence, and harm from those who will be infected by those who refuse to wear a mask as a result of mass-consuming propaganda made especially for their psychological makeup. bbc.com/news/world-eur…
"By 2014, Cambridge Analytica had harvested millions of Facebook profiles identifying users’ “big five traits”: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism."
The firm then mapped these traits alongside what it called the “dark triad” minority traits of “narcissism (extreme self-centeredness), Machiavellianism (ruthless self-interest) and psychopathy (emotional detachment).”
By Wylie’s account, Cambridge Analytica would engage those who exhibited dark triad traits, “introducing narratives via Facebook groups, ads, or articles that the firm knew from internal testing were likely to inflame the very narrow segments of people with these traits.”
