Been contemplating this idea for a few weeks, which is a short time for me to think about things, some things I think about for decades, so this is a newborn really.

Jobs to do right now, so’ll get back to it later.

What might inverted terrorism look like?

i’d just read that below (in the post linked) when started this thread, for context. I won’t post the actual link to the story.

it strikes me they became a story between advertisements, that being deceased they have no rights (can’t defend themselves), + they are or were evidence (suicide), and the police and media made the deceased public property (the event). Once deceased a person sort of becomes property of the state, certainly when a crime is involved, or possible crime (something whatever, untoward shall I say, rather).

there needs be an audience for such things, so for starters i’m interested in how an audience is groomed and seduced to accept such a story (as entertainment essentially, though I wouldn’t like to insult anyones moral sensibilities now) – how the possible revulsion to the story being in the media is circumvented.

I saw quite a few nasty things about the story, devices shall I say, dubious unducements to indulge.

To me, “inverted terrorism” is the publication of terrorist acts for shock value in order to improve ratings. Further, restating extreme views in a public forum to promote hatred in order to boost ratings. It should be illegal, and is easier to control than actual suicide bombings. Audience is groomed and seduced to accept such stories by the simple procedure of direct repetition. The more times you repeat a lie, the more it is believed.

> Once deceased a person sort of becomes property of the state, certainly when a crime is involved, or possible crime

I hadn’t thought of that. Is that really true?

How many times have you said that?

But seriously, I agree.

>I hadn’t thought of that. Is that really true?

The state’s not an obvious thing in our culture, it’s diluted, and includes media. But yeah, if you’re a VOC (whatever variant) and evidence you will in a sense become property of the state, certainly your trip to the Land Of Autopsy. With a little help from all things good, democratic and free, you might get some help being dissipated into the aether en route, or following.

In a looser sense any deceased become property of the state, it’s why they have to be reported.

I’d guess your birth was registered, as your death will be, and there’s a special section in newspapers for these sorts of things too. There’s allocated areas for your burial too, called cemeteries, so you don’t stink the place up and get eaten by animals. There’s a bit of industry and jobs in you being transitioned also.

Now, more to the subject….

What inverted terrorism might look like.

Think community engagement. You’ll see or hear this term a bit, and it’s not all bad.

You and Boris will need to make allowances for those who don’t watch those shows.

Inverted Terrorism. Like revenge on the families of the deceased suicide bomber ?

I think it’s likely to happen at some point if Islamic terrorism continues.

as someone once expressed (can’t recall who), to paraphrase the gist…..the more common an error, the less effort that is required to sustain it.

I dunno. I think the more Trump talks, the less people believe him.

Is that the less number of people? or the less of his contents? or both?

I find it quite amazing that only 55.5% of polled American voter disapprove of his performance. 39% actually think he’s doing a reasonable job.

Alex Jones is talking about Civil War II.

Gawd he is a fuck wit aka a terrorist.

Is Mr. Jones volunteering to be in the front of the first rank?

The OP makes no sense imo.

Top google result for “inverted terrorism” is… Subject: inverted terrorism. Been contemplating this idea for a few weeks, which is a short time for me to think about things, some things I think about for decades, so this is a newborn …

>>> “inverted terrorism” is…

Yes, it has been more vague than subtle, granted. I thought the possibility of it existing maybe was important to consider. Or, more accurately, I wouldn’t know if it was worth considering until i’d considered it. It maybe isn’t (worth considering), or a sustained unconclusion may even be useful.

Many things hide in that what are least likely to be (otherwise) recognized for. Humans are artful this way.

My view of the terrorism concept is that it needs an accompanying concept of what it is inverted.

Surely all forms of humanitarian aid and assistance are “inverted terrorism”.

>Surely all forms of humanitarian aid and assistance are “inverted terrorism

where I was headed, for starters, was of physicalism in our ideology, how it lends to norms (enforcement of, in the informal field).

Even by your normal standards, that’s a pretty mysterious statement :)

>Even by your normal standards, that’s a pretty mysterious statement :)

weird, even :-)

start with the assumption the same nastiness (something similar) one might attribute terrorists exists in many that aren’t terrorists, that never will be.

assuming such a thing exists, where might it or does it go.
