#fear
The more you can increase fear of drugs, crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all of the people.”
--- Noam Chomsky
What is #Hamas' #strategy and is #suicide a strategy at all?
For those who know little about the #MiddleEastConflict, Hamas' strategy seems very irrational. Sure, they have caused a lot of deaths on both sides, spread #fear and #terror, but they cannot win and now bear the #consequence of the #destruction of the #Gaza Strip.
What we have to keep in mind is that the #peace process (if it would be successful) would make Hamas obsolete. #Israel has recently moved diplomatically closer to Saudi Arabia. This does not please #Iran, which in no way wants its #enemy #SaudiArabia to be strengthened by peace with Israel. Iran, in the other hand, is Hamas's suspected main weapons supplier. Therefore, the American aircraft carrier at the coast of Israel makes sense. This is a sign to Iran, because the aircraft carrier is useless for the pacification of Gaza.
The question remains why the Israeli ground forces have not yet stepped forward and why the aircraft carrier is useless? Gaza has multiple levels of tunnels underground, and these tunnels contain command centers, weapons, and supplies. A battle in these tunnel systems would be very costly for the Israeli army. With airplanes and bombs you can bomb the Gaza Strip (which only hits the civilians) but not the tunnel system.
Which brings us back to the Hamas strategy:
1) Preventing the #peace process.
2) Spreading terror and fear in Israel.
3) Provoking the Israeli army to cause a lot of collateral damage in order to discredit it in the world press.
4) Activating sympathizers worldwide for the supposed Palestine cause.
5) Helping states like Iran and #Russia destabilize Western democracies.

Senator Rick Scott of Florida: "I’ve seen sickening reports of pro-Hamas rallies being planned at universities in Florida.
I urge all university leaders to clearly denounce Iran-backed Hamas terrorism and do whatever it take to keep Jewish students safe."
The big bad Iran is behind Hamas, says the US senator to make people more scared of the people protesting to support Palestinians to be counted as humans.
We really living in strange times....

Why Does Everyone Feel So #Insecure All the Time?
source: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/opinion/inequality-insecurity-economic-wealth.html
It’s hard to imagine any #advertising or #marketing department telling us that we’re actually OK, and that it is the #world, not us, that needs changing.
When Are We All Finally Going to Stop Living in Fear?
Back in the 1950s, this psychology professor at Swarthmore had an idea. He wondered just how powerful peer pressure was.
So he rounded up 123 students.
They were male.
He put them in groups of five or seven. He told one dude in every group he was conducting vision tests. He told the rest of the group he was really studying peer pressure. He told them all to give the right answer the first two times. After that, they were supposed to give the same wrong answer for almost every question. The wrong answer wasn't just a little wrong.
It was obviously wrong.
Epically wrong.
The professor expected the one dude to hold his ground most of the time, that he wouldn't conform. The professor was wrong. Only about 25 percent of his test subjects resisted the urge to conform. About a third of them conformed almost all of the time, and 5 percent conformed completely.

(not my analysis) France is now a new type of illiberal democracy, a "police democracy" per scholar Sebastian Roché.
Elections are still free and fair, press is still free, the judges are still independent, however, the police is rogue, doesn’t fear the civilian leadership and can dictate terms to the elected government.
This type of illiberal democracy is special because it doesn’t need an electoral win for the far-right for it to happen. It could happen theoretically in any European state.
What are the "winning conditions" for a police democracy to take place?
1) Insecurity
2) Public fear of insecurity
3) Violent protests against the government
4) Some level of public support for police having more power.
A lot of European states, and the US meets those criterias.

A quotation from Nachman of Breslov
All the world is a very narrow bridge, and the most important thing is not to be overwhelmed by fear.
[כל העולם כולו גשר צר מאוד, והעיקר – לא לפחד כלל.]
Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810) Ukrainian Jewish Hasidic leader, rabbi, kabbalist [רַבִּי נַחְמָן מִבְּרֶסְלֶב; of Bratslav; of Bracław]
