When lsraeI bombed the first hospital in Gaza, the world wouldn’t believe it and Israel blamed a misfired rocket from Hamas.

lsraeI has now destroyed all 36 hospitals in Gaza including its largest, the al-Shifa Hospital.

THIS IS A GENOClDE 💔

Dude, Tesla would have gone BANKRUPT without $456 million from the government.

SpaceX would have gone BANKRUPT without $1.6 billion from the government.

Elon Musk would be worth $0 without $38 billion from the government.

Elon isn’t exposing fraud. He’s committing fraud.

Armed Israeli settlers entered land of al-Mughayir village on Yom Kippur to prevent Palestinians from harvesting their olives.

For the apartheid and dispossession regime, no day is holy.

"If they don't [vote], this will be the last election," said the richest man in the world and the owner of one of the world's largest platforms for political communication.

The extreme rhetoric in current US politics reminds me of one of the best analyses of mobilizing propaganda: Horowitz's book, The Deadly Ethnic Riot (https://t.co/llPv367XPo).

He writes: "...the expectation of aggressive behavior from the target group is properly viewed as a form of projection, the attribution of motives or emotions to others because of motives or emotions felt by one-self. (...) Rumors of agression following other precipitants enable action to proceed with confidence in its necessity."

Rhetoric of this sort has shown itself to be tragically powerful throughout history.

How powerful can it be when it is fuelled by extraordinary economic resources and unprecedented audience reach?

It is key to emphasize that the rhetoric itself is clearly non-violent. As such, any effects will mainly be to mobilize Republicans to register and to vote.

But our research also has shown that, among people with dominance-oriented mindsets, political threats are more likely to be met with violence: https://t.co/X2CFfdw4rI. Such mindsets have been predictors of Trump support in prior elections: https://t.co/ADLzkU9ltw

My concern - as an outside European professor with expertise in political violence - is whether and how rhetoric of this kind will help justify electoral violence during the US election and increase the risk of it happening.

@pastratta A couple of loops is usually enough for people to scoop, but I guess for online play it is a factor.
