AI #slopaganda is not so much about fakes or disinformation. It's about aligning the world with your preformulated descriptions of it, making reality disappear behind its formulaic image, rendering visible all your fears at once in order to enjoy them more. It's a technology of fascist daydreaming

Müll ist eine Systemfrage der Demokratie – und die Wahl in Berlin ist ein guter Anlass, das Thema zu verhandeln. Hier zeigen sich Konturen einer neuen Form der zivilgesellschaftlichen Selbstregierung. Ich habe meine Gedanken für die Berlin Review aufgeschrieben: blnreview.de/ausgaben/202...

A few things (international) commentatoes should remember. Only 2 million people live in Sachsen-Anhalt. Half of Berlin, a tenth of NRW. Around 400k will vote AfD. Even with this strong result, 80% of people living in S-A will not have voted for the AfD. In a state that is a far-right stronghold.

This is well worth reading. Disinformation blooms when information is scarce. "The informational vulnerability is a product of a legal architecture that offers almost no authoritative, usable answer to the question of who may enter and how."

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

Being queer means being the target of violence. Every queer person knows this. It's deeply engraved in who we are. We live with it every day of our lives. Not because of terrorism but because it is structurally enshrined in our "free" societies. Violence against queer people is not an exception ...
