Flashback moment from #history - in between #January6thHearings

Presidential campaign poster, from 1968: Richard M. Nixon (Republican). The Birth Dearth had been a foundational element of the GOP for quite a while, it just had not been given its name yet. Image
Yes, that Nixon … Image
Another presidential campaign poster from #history - with a familiar theme. The cultural engineering, as always, foundational. This one from 1980: Ronald Reagan (Republican). #CNP Image
No Reagan, no Trump. If we’re willing to be honest, we have a serious post mortem to do on our cultural mythologies.
Familiar cultural engineering theme. Again. No Reagan, no Trump. In so many terrible ways. Image

We are choked with news but starved of #history

Keep in mind, history is made at every moment in time. It is not a mere thing of the past. Making history is what shapes your future.

Maybe we need #activism to free our #media and unleash the people within, enabling them to function as a Fourth Estate.

In between events of this ongoing self-coup, there’s been mention by sociologists and historians, as well as within #OSINT of “Cultural Engineering”.

Social Engineering targets the individual.
Cultural Engineering targets the group.

1/ It’s about giving direction to behaviour
2/ We tend to either dismiss the power of social and cultural engineering as a result of our cultural mythologies (individualism, exceptionalism), or think about it only in terms of economics.
