 The "no politics" rule of polite conversations has proven destructive. Question the "no politics" rule. Question the origin of the "no politics" rule.
2/
 "No politics" - for sake of unity - has proven to be head-in-sand. Unity is a compromise negotiated from positions of strength and understanding, not an abrogation of your position. Where there is subversion of the negotiated compromise, there there is no unity.
3/
 The left subverted the "no politics" rule of polite conversation by re-defining its political demands ("X rights", "free/costless Y", "equality of Z" etc.) as "common sense", "modern", "humanitarian", and - "non-political".

they'll either give a carve-out for journalists, or they fall by the wayside.

i wonder whether the new CEO wanted some quick publicity from controversy - or is really that inexperienced.
perhaps that's the point: to put Twitter in position of deeming who is a journalist (corporate media?) and who "isn't" (Andy Ngo?)
Twitter and "private media" poasting ban: they codified a carve-out for "covered by mainstream media". This might be aimed at smaller journalists like Andy Ngo. Or memes.

A lot will hinge on how they will interpret they other marked point, "contains eyewitness account...".

>credibility liquidity

Claire Lehmann and her crew are engaging in very interesting strategy:
staying correct on secondary concerns - and also turning that into supporting the official line of their government's primary concerns du jour.
>corrective information
>we're just protecting the indigenous communities
This is particularly interesting, coming from a portugal politician.

He says flat out" fake news" because the name is not an exact translation according to him - and because the measures enacted are "sensible". Replies lists what was enacted - exactly what you expect.

 A buddy asked in a conversation, "Do right leaning people have to adopt the stupid ACAB mindset of the wokies on Twatter?"

Strange as it might sound, it warrants a brief investigation.
2/
 The woke "ACAB" is a shorthand for a broader idea of "police as a system and institution is broken". Under the "ACAB" banner, the accent is more on the whole of the system & institution - and less on individual officers.
3/
 The wokes have various leftist beefs with the police, like "overpolicing certain ethnicities", "police brutality", "blue wall of silence", the generic "racism" and "white supremacy". Also "protecting / siding with white supremacists". They often throw in "domestic violence".

Never mind all the Googles of this world; the government is the OG information economy, and it *eats* anybody's information economy lunch all day every day.

Prog media tries to out-flank with emotion economy.

What is the resourceful dissident to do?
I suppose government creating a classified document is, in information economy, an analog to minting a financial instrument. Gives natural explanation to why such inflation of classified information. FOIA is, in a funny way, *direct transfers*, usually to friendly NGOs.
>what is the resourceful dissident to do?

There are many things the government inherently sucks at. For sake of example, consider *leadership*: obviously not a meta-stable thing for the government to run. And it's lightly taxed.

Is there "leadership economy"? Can there be one?

 A couple days ago Pfizer made this fail meme.
Why did their marketoids make such a grave mis-understanding?

Two theories. Let's investigate.
2/
 The template: "Running Away Balloon".

Note the emotions are fairly unambiguous: a man tries joyously to get ahold of a nice ball; a pink monster forcibly stops him causing stress to the man.

knowyourmeme.com/memes/running-…
3/
 The first panel clearly shows the emotions: desirable ball, joyous & hopeful man moving forward.

The second panel happens rapidly & unexpectedly - shows the moment the emotions *turn* to worry. The pink monster was *an internal monster*, stopping the man's improvement.
