🧵 How We As Americans Can Defuse Rage-Bait Without Censorship

1. Opening frame
Disinformation today is less a stream of false statements than a deliberate engineering of emotion. Its power lies in hijacking outrage rather than in fabricating facts. The effective countermeasure has never been suppression. It is the deliberate cultivation of what psychologists call cognitive immunity—the capacity to recognise emotional manipulation before it completes its circuit. Several countries have demonstrated that this is achievable without restricting speech. 2. One of the architects of modern leftism, Saul Alinsky, once wrote in his book Rules for Radicals that “ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” Long before neuroscience confirmed it, he grasped that laughter interrupts the physiological cascade that makes anger addictive. Humor breaks the feedback loop between provocation and tribal identity. A lie that becomes a punchline loses its incentive to spread because it no longer grants status to the believer. The goal is not to censor people but to render them into absurdity, to convert the emotional rage-bait contagion into social embarrassment. That single transformation deprives the oxygen from it.

She is the Project Manager at Pendulum and her job is "Building out the Pendulum platform to empower narrative-based intelligence". She also previously worked for the Wisconsin Department of Justice where she worked as a program and policy analyst.


2. According to their website, Pendulum states that narratives contain threats and opportunities and works to control them. Pendulum says their solution is to collect, process, and store multi-medium content, even if it is deleted, then uses what they call their Narrative Engine to filter said content based on the narrative you want to amplify and track.

1. This is Melanie Sloan, the executive director of the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) under @davidbrockdc, the group behind the lawsuit taking Trump off the ballot in Colorado. After seeing this video, I decided to do some digging into the other funders of CREW mentioned besides Soros, and I wanted to break it down by foundation.
