my dad is watching some alt right bullshit and this bozo is making fun of boris johnson (making all the wrong points, of course) and he's droning on abt toxic masculinity or wtv and he says "Can you imagine if Winston Churchill said "If Hitler was a woman, he never would've invaded Poland."" and like. They very much did think that. Like. They did try to put estrogen in Hitler's spaghetti

#hitler m #ask to tag #like. watch a documentary and educate yourself on what toxic masculinity is bcuz you sound fucking stupid

like I’m not defending Finland’s choises during WWII, but some of you really just don’t want to admit the soviet union ever did anything wrong, neither morally or tactically.

#it is documented that Stalin was blindsinded by Hitler’s betrayal of the M-R pact #he was not a good person or leader the soviet victory happened despite him not because of him

I love learning that my dad is a genocidal fucking maniac

#m rambles #I mentioned offhandedly the stuff going on in Palestine #I’m not shocked that he’s a Zionist #I mean he’s a trump republican so it really isn’t a shock #but to hear him say ‘if they offered me a ceasefire I wouldn’t have taken it either. I would kill them all.’ #and ‘the peace will come when they’re all dead’ #that’s a whole other thing #I was fully prepared to argue against all his points #and good god did I #for once I didn’t have a breakdown when talking to him #I just explained why he was wrong and gave him the evidence and stats #but in his words ‘I don’t need to research because I already know everything’ #jesus fucking christ #I said ‘maybe I’m just a radical but I don’t think anyone deserves to die’ and he said that yeah that was radical #then two seconds later claimed that I would have been happy if hitler killed all the Jews in Germany???? #please make it make sense #like that would literally be your position. that the peace would come after everyone was dead. that’s literally what you said #I’m fuming right now #he’s the only Zionist I’ve actually talked to in two years #and the only Zionist that I know of that I still talk to #I used to think that the man could change if he got off of Fox News for two fucking seconds #but no he’s apparently just as bloodthirsty as the rest of them

I'm of the opinion that this type of censorship is incredibly stupid and useless but also I will never not see Registeel doing a nazi salute from now on

#m #pokemon #im sorry this is making me laugh a lot that sprite looks really bad #but also i'd put this on the same level as like. that german version of wolfestein i think where they removed hitler's moustache and the - #svastikas so it wouldnt look like this very anti-nazi game was talking about nazis #actually no i'd put this next to censoring buddhist svastikas in european media #like if a svastika is in a 500 year old temple then we should all agree that it's not a nazi symbol #and if a pokemon with no connexions whatsoever to nazism is raising its arm like that we should all agree its not doing a nazi salute #it's still hilarious tho

“In his history of German film art, a Nazi-minded product with some remnants of pre-Nazi evaluations, Oskar Kalbus connects the vogue of historical pageants with the moment of their production; they were produced, he contends, ‘because in times of national emergency people are particularly susceptible to representations of great historic periods and personalities.’ He completely overlooks the fact that this susceptibility was betrayed by films representing not so much historical periods as personal appetites and seeming to seize upon history for the sole purpose of removing it thoroughly from the field of vision. It is not as if the historical films of Italian or American origin had ever achieved miracles of perspicacity; but the sustained lack of comprehension in the Lubitsch films is significant inasmuch as they emerged at a moment when it would have been in the interest of the new democratic regime to enlighten the people about social and political developments. All these German pageants which the Americans mistook for summits of ‘historical realism’ instinctively sabotaged any understanding of historic processes, any attempt to explore patterns of conduct in the past.”

For Sander van der Linden, misinformation is personal.

As a child in the Netherlands, the University of Cambridge social psychologist discovered that almost all of his mother’s family had been executed by the Nazis during the Second World War. He became absorbed by the question of how so many people came to support the ideas of someone like Adolf Hitler, and how they might be taught to resist such influence.

While studying psychology at graduate school in the mid-2010s, van der Linden came across the work of American researcher William McGuire. In the 1960s, stories of brainwashed prisoners-of-war during the Korean War had captured the zeitgeist, and McGuire developed a theory of how such indoctrination might be prevented. He wondered whether exposing soldiers to a weaker form of propaganda might have equipped them to fight off a full attack once they’d been captured. In the same way that army drills prepared them for combat, a pre-exposure to an attack on their beliefs could have prepared them against mind control. It would work, McGuire argued, as a cognitive immunizing agent against propaganda—a vaccine against brainwashing.

Traditional vaccines protect us by feeding us a weaker dose of pathogen, enabling our bodies’ immune defenses to take note of its appearance so we’re better equipped to fight the real thing when we encounter it. A psychological vaccine works much the same way: Give the brain a weakened hit of a misinformation-shaped virus, and the next time it encounters it in fully-fledged form, its “mental antibodies” remember it and can launch a defense.

Van der Linden wanted to build on McGuire’s theories and test the idea of psychological inoculation in the real world. His first study looked at how to combat climate change misinformation. At the time, a bogus petition was circulating on Facebook claiming there wasn’t enough scientific evidence to conclude that global warming was human-made, and boasting the signatures of 30,000 American scientists (on closer inspection, fake signatories included Geri Halliwell and the cast of M*A*S*H). Van der Linden and his team took a group of participants and warned them that there were politically motivated actors trying to deceive them—the phony petition in this case. Then they gave them a detailed takedown of the claims of the petition; they pointed out, for example, Geri Halliwell’s appearance on the list. When the participants were later exposed to the petition, van der Linden and his group found that people knew not to believe it.

The approach hinges on the idea that by the time we’ve been exposed to misinformation, it’s too late for debunking and fact-checking to have any meaningful effect, so you have to prepare people in advance—what van der Linden calls “prebunking.” An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

When he published the findings in 2016, van der Linden hadn’t anticipated that his work would be landing in the era of Donald Trump’s election, fake news, and post-truth; attention on his research from the media and governments exploded. Everyone wanted to know, how do you scale this up?

Van der Linden worked with game developers to create an online choose-your-own-adventure game called Bad News, where players can try their hand at writing and spreading misinformation. Much like a broadly protective vaccine, if you show people the tactics used to spread fake news, it fortifies their inbuilt bullshit detectors.

But social media companies were still hesitant to get on board; correcting misinformation and being the arbiters of truth is not part of their core business model. Then people in China started getting sick with a mysterious flulike illness.

The coronavirus pandemic propelled the threat of misinformation to dizzying new heights. Van der Linden began working with the British government and bodies like the World Health Organization and the United Nations to create a more streamlined version of the game specifically revolving around Covid, which they called GoViral! They created more versions, including one for the 2020 US presidential election, and another to prevent extremist recruitment in the Middle East. Slowly, Silicon Valley came around.

A collaboration with Google has resulted in a campaign on YouTube in which the platform plays clips in the ad section before the video starts, warning viewers about misinformation tropes like scapegoating and false dichotomies and drawing examples from Family Guy and Star Wars. A study with 20,000 participants found that people who viewed the ads were better able to spot manipulation tactics; the feature is now being rolled out to hundreds of millions of people in Europe.

Van der Linden understands that working with social media companies, who have historically been reluctant to censor disinformation, is a double-edged sword. But, at the same time, they’re the de facto guardians of the online flow of information, he says, “and so if we’re going to scale the solution, we need their cooperation.” (A downside is that they often work in unpredictable ways. Elon Musk fired the entire team who was working on pre-bunking at Twitter when he became CEO, for instance.)

This year, van der Linden wrote a book on his research, titled Foolproof: Why We Fall for Misinformation and How to Build Immunity. Ultimately, he hopes this isn’t a tool that stays under the thumb of third-party companies; his dream is for people to inoculate one another. It could go like this: You see a false narrative gaining traction on social media, you then warn your parents or your neighbor about it, and they’ll be pre-bunked when they encounter it. “This should be a tool that’s for the people, by the people,” van der Linden says.
