the truly pavlovian mindfuck is that they can't hear certain songs anywhere else without their feet twitching. supermarket, wedding, dentist's waiting room i say; conditioning complete, let's all vote for a guy who can do that with his arms

what is it with americans (and their foreign fans) and line dancing? it looks like aerobics with cowboy hats i've seen it happening, dj plays the first four bars of "achy breaky heart" and half the room gets up without a single conscious thought, nobody even salivates, they just grapevine left

nah. i'd rather wake up to no news item at all, as if he never existed and the last years only happend in my nightmares, besides i am pretty sure i couldn't handle the hangover from whatever party that sort of news would kick off

12/12 so if it feels contagious, that’s because it is, not biologically, but structurally the system we built rewards the very thing we fear it doesn’t care which side of the fear it grows on

11/12 the infection rate is higher, the incubation period shorter, and the carriers often don’t know they’re carrying anything, including the ones who think they’re vaccinated

10/12 it’s the same mechanism wearing a different label extremism today behaves like a social pathogen. high emotional charge, low friction, infinite reach

Hans van Leeuwen @hvnlwn.eurosky.social · 06/09/2026

9/12 it will just as happily manufacture a confident anti-extremist, a confident centrist, a confident “i see through all of it” cynic resisting the pull the same way, through outrage, through group loyalty, through the pleasure of feeling like you’ve seen through something, isn’t immunity

Hans van Leeuwen @hvnlwn.eurosky.social · 06/09/2026

8/12 even people who hate it amplify it by reacting to it every share, dunk, outrage-reply is a micro-boost the ideology doesn’t need agreement, it just needs visibility here’s the part that’s harder to hear: the gradient is not aimed at extremity specifically. it’s aimed at certainty

Hans van Leeuwen @hvnlwn.eurosky.social · 06/09/2026

7/12 identity narratives replicate like viruses in a warm host most people who become extreme would not have become extreme alone. they needed targeted messaging, emotional exploitation, and group validation. they think they “woke up” extremism spreads through attention, not belief

Hans van Leeuwen @hvnlwn.eurosky.social · 06/09/2026

6/12 today it spreads through frictionless networks that reward outrage the speed difference with, say, a pamphlet handed out on a street corner isn’t linear, it’s exponential. not because people changed, but because the environment changed algorithms amplify anger. platforms reward conflict

Hans van Leeuwen @hvnlwn.eurosky.social · 06/09/2026

5/12 you probably think you’d notice yourself sliding through those steps. that’s the part worth sitting with the gradient doesn’t select for stupidity or evil, it selects for attention, and you have attention

Hans van Leeuwen @hvnlwn.eurosky.social · 06/09/2026

4/12 radicalisation isn’t a jump, it’s a gradient; frustration → resentment → distrust → identity → loyalty → extremity every step feels reasonable. every step feels like “just asking questions.” manipulation works best when it feels voluntary

Hans van Leeuwen @hvnlwn.eurosky.social · 06/09/2026

3/12 extremism rarely feels like extremism from the inside. it feels like clarity, awakening, finally “seeing how things really are” the tragedy is that most people don’t realise they’re not discovering anything, they’re being guided step by step by narratives designed to feel self-chosen

100 1

Hans van Leeuwen @hvnlwn.eurosky.social · 06/09/2026

2/12 i don’t think that’s what’s happening. i think it’s the same slow gradient it always is, just moving faster than it used to, and moving through more of us than we’d like to admit

1/12 watching the news out of the uk lately. riots, targeted violence, the speed at which a rumour turns into a mob. i thought it’s tempting to explain it as a sudden outbreak, something new that appeared overnight

it was rhetorical, and you forgot to mention the indicator of the end of a declarative sentence personally i consider it more a realistic mindset and in this case maybe also a fear for three is a charm but let’s try positivity: go vote people, give that orange dude a good thrashing, you can do it

3/3 cinderella: "antidepressants. my father died and left me with the woman abusing me, and the man who was supposed to save me needed a shoe to confirm i was worth saving" all three, walking out: "and now they tell it to their daughters as a bedtime story"

1/3 fully grown snow white, cinderella and belle walk out of the chemist "what can i help you with?" the pharmacist asks snow white: "trust issues. dad remarried a woman who tried to have me killed, then a stranger kissed me while i was dead, and somehow he's the hero of the story"
