Social media and the problems with populism
The thing that makes social media a problematic tool for political control is the effectiveness of that thing. By using artificial intelligence political marketing can aim to the people. Who are interesting in some special things, and that makes it a very effective and dangerous tool.
And the thing that makes that tool even more dangerous is that when we are looking at people like presidents, we have the right to expect that those people have feelings about responsibility for what they are saying. But what if the leader of the nation would have no responsibility at all? The normal way to survive from everything after making trolls is just claiming that the mobile telephone, what is used for those tweets is missing, and that thing might save the career of a politician.
But then we must understand one thing about conspiracies and another thing. The Roswell Incident, the murder of John F. Kennedy, and the votes what are given in the year 2020 elections are not the same thing. They are different things. And that's why we must realize that the information is may be controlled by nobody.
When somebody makes tweets that are not very well thought, we think that this kind of person must not be taken seriously. We might think that things cannot affect the masses of people. Unless the tweeter is the president of the USA. That is the case we are forgetting that people who have different backgrounds believing different things. Or the same things affect the different way to people who have different backgrounds. Normal people who are working in normal workplaces are not afraid of political assassins.
The only thing that they should afraid of politicians is that the politician would say something against the ethnic or another group, where that "regular john" is involving. But the political leaders and other powerful people are afraid of political terrorism. Their family members are always under threat to take kidnapped. In those cases, the attackers are always asking for money and force those people to support their agenda like read the political notes of the terror-organizations.
And the reason for that is the terrorist is always looking for caution for their political agenda making terror-actions. The high-profile targets are guaranteed the attention of the media. If the terrorists want to have maximum publicity and affect with the lowest force they need only threaten the public and powerful people. If the parliamentarians are afraid, that thing will make a very good effect on terrorists.
They can repeat their agenda that "we would not want to harm ordinary people if you give liberty to their country or release their comrades". And in that kind of situation terrorists "cannot accept" the results of the voting or any other solution. The only thing that they accept is their ideology. This is why people should not make any concessions to terrorists, because that thing would incite other groups to take hostages and start the blackmailing operations. When one operation is successful that thing can affect other people to mock the people who are made successful blackmailing operations.
