How likely is it that untraceable crypto-funded protests will lead to mass-mobilization on behalf of foreign adversaries and other hostile actors?
Is it less likely if we think about it and establish precedence beforehand?

Here’s what @bing & @TWSPublish just came up with:
________________________________________
1. **Parsimoniphilia** (as we've defined it): A love for simplicity, particularly in explanations or problem-solving, aligns with a cognitive preference for reducing complexity. It resonates with Occam's Razor, where cognitive dissonance might arise when faced with overly convoluted or contradictory explanations.
2. **Homophilia**: This term generally refers to an affinity for sameness or similarity, often in social or ideological contexts. In relation to cognitive dissonance, homophilia might manifest as a preference for ideas or environments that align with one's existing beliefs, reducing the discomfort of conflicting information.
3. **Contraphobia**: This could be interpreted as an aversion to opposition or contradiction. In the realm of cognitive dissonance, contraphobia might drive individuals to avoid situations or ideas that challenge their current worldview, thereby minimizing psychological tension.
When juxtaposed, these concepts reveal different strategies for managing cognitive dissonance:
- Parsimoniphilia seeks resolution through simplicity and elegance.
- Homophilia leans on the comfort of alignment and similarity.
- Contraphobia avoids the discomfort of contradiction altogether.
Each reflects a unique cognitive or emotional approach to navigating the complexities of thought and belief.

Please don’t tell me that the Western Hemisphere needs to be easy to exploit and manipulate for ‘security purposes.’
Please…

If the U.S. could help Brazil with their security (with regard to trafficking, cartels, etc.), then maybe Brazil could help Mexico with theirs.
The feasibility of this agreement may hinge on how much of Brazil’s policy ownership has already been outsourced to China, though.
