Hey all, it’s been a long time since I rapped at ya, but as the Mueller investigation heats up I’ve been thinking about what comes next. The news around the Nunes memo suggests that we may be coming up to a real breaking point, but I’ve been wondering what that would actually look like? How do we know what a real red line looks like, and how do we communicate that it’s been crossed? What actions are we as individuals willing to take? ~Sock Puppet Daily
“Stochastic terrorism"
is the use of mass communications to incite random actors to carry out violent or terroristic acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable. In short, remote-control murder by lone wolf….
The stochastic terrorist
is the person who is responsible for the incitement. For example they go on radio or television and stir up hatred toward a particular person or group….At each step, plausible deniability increases through the diffusion of responsibility…The random actor gets captured and sentenced to life in prison, while the stochastic terrorist keeps his prime time slot and goes on to incite more lone wolves.” ~G2G
Alternative News Media Shock Jocks
were instrumental in creating a false narrative in order to stir up the righteous indignation of their viewers against events that were falsely labeled as government injustices. ~Jack Lin (no relation to Frank Lin)
