    Exposing Emotional Blackmail: AI-Generated Content Threats

    I theorize semantic terrorism using Bourdieu, Foucault, Baulibard, and Pomerantsev, but stress its real-world relevance. Beyond abstract concepts, I gather concrete cases where emotionally loaded, socially charged, often AI-driven content is weaponized for political gain.

    Beyond the Middle East: The Global Retreat to Meaning and the Rise of the Strongman

    Here is a suggested excerpt to add to your post: > In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms and data, where the human touch seems to be fading, we are witnessing a global phenomenon: a compensatory retreat into messianic and apocalyptic narratives.

    With CPTSD, Trust, and the Israeli QAnon Isomorphism

    With CPTSD, I know I am prone to distrust, to feel betrayal even before it’s proven. That is my bias.

    Israel’s Nationwide Strike: A Call Beyond Hostages

    IntroductionToday’s nationwide strike in Israel was officially about the hostages—but beneath that façade I dare to assume a deeper, riskier message was carried: a silent objection to the continuation of the war in Gaza. Fear of Saying It Out Loud Few dared to voice it directly. Already, right-wing MKs have declared that true victory lies […]
