@estarianne @C_Stroop To answer your question radicalization refers to the process by which folks come to adapt opposing political social points of view of what’s the established norms.
In this case WS WP are not radicalized even if they suddenly join a WS group neither are White Christians as
1/
@estarianne @C_Stroop WS IS THE ESTABLISHED NORM. WM/WP want stricter controls BUT WHEN DIDNT WM want that? And yes murder/hate crimes escalated but I’d argue that’s due to cellphone video, as Black folks can now make it crystal to WP who’ve denied it all along & as for murder WS has
2/
@estarianne @C_Stroop & WS US GOV & WS US society has always justified t/murder of Black folks and Brown folks; you don’t need to be radicalized for that, see police department across the US ICE, DHS, see US health policies and on and on

That said there’s a lot of folks throwing words
3/
@estarianne @C_Stroop around like they know something... the problem is not one GD one of them bothered to consult a dictionary .

So here we’re back to whack-a-mole right because the fixes for true radicalization are very different that folks who want more sadism embedded in an already sadistic
4/
@estarianne @C_Stroop society as long as they get to maintain their power as the sadists!!!

As I tweeted the other day 35-39%Maj White America dreams of achieving "freedom" via a genocidal civil war to found a White Supremacist fascist New America where WM rule..

Meanwhile back in realitiville,
5/
@estarianne @C_Stroop the other 45% of silent WM/WP moderate Americans want to maintain WS US as is because WM already rule a White Supremacist US

CLUE: When you wanna destroy it all to get what you already have & you wanna maintain what you have because you’re so weakened by privilege/power
6/
@estarianne @C_Stroop you didn’t earn neither you or your children can compete in life without oppressing/disadvantaging others via a system you can blame b/c “it’s not you” & “I didn’t do it” while everything keeps functioning at status quo to advantage you
7/
@estarianne @C_Stroop Lastly I’ll say there’s a lot of chatter re t/huge reduction in WS disinformation flood & propaganda ;

Heres t/problem with that framing and the assumptions that fall out of it!

Yes WS Propaganda & disinfo flood dropped 73%

But # % of WP believing WS hate, disinfo,
8/
@estarianne @C_Stroop conspiracies & propaganda HAS NOT

T/assumption that WS HATE & radicalization is caused by disinfo/propaganda IS CONVENIENT, BUT WHOLLY WRONG

Rather amount of disinfo/propaganda reflects level of acceptance by US White society to OPEN HATE & WS in a White society that
9/
@estarianne @C_Stroop quite literally runs both above and below board on WS which, depending on currently fashionable consequences re legality, acceptability & social credibility/capitol becomes more or less visible to WP accordingly
10/
@estarianne @C_Stroop You can't solve hate by suppressing disinfo that is culturally embedded to begin with.

@Percussioner211 Intelligence community
@Percussioner211 Ok, I’ll take up that issue. It’s embedded in White culture such that everything you interact w/from birth on informs you of the Superiority of Whiteness... ALL MEDIA ONLY REFLECT WHERE & WHO WE ARE it does not create who we are. That happened before you turned to the channel

@Percussioner211 & the channel YOU PICK, from a huge array of options for facts & truth TO BELIEVE ..Those racist right wing content channel reflect beliefs you already have, & those conveying facts that disturb those beliefs are discarded...

Yes ma’am, & don’t forget his highly popular widely distributed Alt-Reich radio shows & Roy Cohen Stones Mentor

everyone going back to Joe McCarthy Nixon to Reagan to the Federalist society.. etc
All these folks are well practiced & well know how to construct, leverage& organize propaganda & been doing it for years partnering with White Supremacist groups & the right wing

@estarianne @C_Stroop Racism & misogyny across US White society amounts to Culturally Normative Psychopathy (my model) as fed & maintained by whos considered human vs those not, law & lack of enforcement re WP, who benefits via privilege & power all justified via religion & as WPs cultural norms

@estarianne @C_Stroop I’ve written many a detailed thread on this via my 2nd Twitter account @kateneuropsych which remain accessible via @threadreaderapp
More recently I’ve pointed out again & again as per usual
2/
@estarianne @C_Stroop @kateneuropsych @threadreaderapp US White society would rather focus on & identify the fantastical & t/bizarre such as Q-Anon, conspiracy theories, propaganda, micro targeting etc as causal for the last four years. & tho a Whitely convenient take NOTHING COULD BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH...

But I think MORE TO T/POINT: CV19 vaccinated folks are likely 2B LESS cautious re: preventing CV19 spread & while they themselves won't contract CV19 from, droplets on their hands face clothing & unsanitized materials they interact w/.. they can infect others via external spread
Therefore all precaution protocols should remain mandatory whether CV19 vaccinated or not!
And certainly until more is known and widely validated over time
