Cet article nous propose une analyse intelligente et pourtant erronée des attentats récents. Il les présente comme résultat du social engineering sans mentionner le fait que la violence a toujours existé dans les relations de classe et sans évoquer que statistiquement les USA connaissent un mass shooting par jour pour des raisons purement sociétales.
Où sa positions est intéressante c’est quand on le prend comme expression de l’état d’esprit des libéraux modérés étatuniens. Il n’échappent jamais aux pièges de la technopilie et de leur propre perspective de classe nationale.
To understand how to defeat an enemy using social media, it would help to understand self-organizing ant colonies or self-organizing robot swarms or even algorithmic art. Most self-organizing systems work by giving a few very simple instructions to completely autonomous entities and letting them act on their own.

Propagators will share, retweet or otherwise propagate the instructions. Supporters will not propagate but will tacitly support the propagators. Executors will carry out the instructions.

The names “social terrorism” and “social media warfare” are not quite right. This is a new kind of war against an enemy with very new weapons.

The battle is fought, both sides launch a narrative meme, and the most emotionally compelling story wins.
A Social Engineering Arms Race
According to my good friend Col. John Fenzel (Ret.), “We are now in a state of enduring social conflict enabled and empowered by social media.” The recent killings were not ordered by a military commander, not carried out by troops, not perpetrated by terror cells or operatives. They were socially engineered.
The key performance indicator in this well-executed, hyper-targeted, social media marketing campaign is dead people. It’s sickening to think of it this way, but I have to call this what it is: a highly successful social engineering hack.
