Simone#france is currently the most obvious case study of #Russia 's destabilization strategy, but the same dynamics are playing out across #europe. Targeted symbolic acts exploit pre-existing social fault lines to fuel #mistrust , #polarization , and perceived #insecurity. It's a #cognitive #warfare that undermines public trust, social cohesion, and political capacity across the Union.

Dentro la strategia russa di destabilizzazione in Europa. Il laboratorio francese - Formiche.net
Gli episodi che hanno attraversato la Francia negli ultimi due anni, dalle stelle di David dipinte sulle facciate dei palazzi parigini alle teste di maiale deposte davanti alle moschee, passando per la vernice verde spruzzata contro sinagoghe e memoriali, rappresentano case studies utili per comprendere tattiche, operazioni ed evoluzioni della strategia di destabilizzazione nei confronti […]

The utter unpredictability of #Hegseth’s moves, as described in interviews w/ 20 current & fmr military ofcls, has created an atmosphere of #anxiety & #mistrust that has forced snr officers to take sides &, at times, pitted them against one another.

When young, we trust ourselves too much, and we trust others too little when old. Rashness is the error of youth, timid caution of age.

Dana WilliamsMatthew Carey's book #Mistrust: An Ethnographic #Theory is, like lots of #anthropology, refreshing and mind-expanding. His focus is on the High Atlas mountains of #Morocco. There's interesting discussions of lying, tolerance, conspiracy, etc. He even touches upon #anarchism, although in a somewhat superficial fashion. And I personally prefer "mistrust" to refer to "mistaken trust" as opposed to just a synonym for #distrust. But, it's still provocative and worth the time. #HAUBooks
