Nel #silenzio dei #media e nell'indifferenza generale #RaiStoria ha introdotto la #pubblicità passando da un modello senza pubblicità a scopo #divulgativo simile a quello di #RaiScuola ad uno di #profitto

Inoltre la #Rai ha recentemente richiesto con forza la rimozione dei suoi canali dal sito #opensource di streaming online gratuito dei #canalitelevisivi #Zappr a discapito di tutti gli utenti italiani e non che ne usufruivano e del #softpower

#Nicenasty the hidden power of soft obstruction

https://hamishcampbell.com/nicenasty-the-hidden-power-of-soft-obstruction/

Existing vocabulary:

#nastyfew - the overlords: tech, business, political power. Works well, already established.

#fluffy - comfortable, non-threatening, conflict-avoiding activism. Well understood in context.

#spiky - confrontational, direct, willing to cause friction.

The gap is something more specific: the person who performs niceness or fluffiness as a *weapon* - who uses social respectability, politeness norms, or community goodwill as a way to enforce conformity, block challenge, and protect their own position. Not the #nastyfew (they're openly powerful) and not simply #fluffy (that's just timid). This is the *vile* fluffy - nice on the surface, actively harmful underneath.

Options:

#nicenasty -. Has rhythm, easy to remember, does the job. The inversion is the point.

#velvetblock - soft surface, hard obstruction. More descriptive of the *mechanism*.

#fluffygate- implies gatekeeping behind a fluffy front. A bit clunky.
#pratocracy - the rule of prats. Funny but loses the specific nice/nasty dynamic.

#softpower - already taken in international relations, would cause confusion.

#vilefluff - pairs well with #nicenasty tag, keep it in the vocabulary

#nicenasty is the strongest - it's immediately, has no baggage, and does what a hashtag should do: compress a complex dynamic into something people recognise and use to organise the moment they hear it.

The question is whether one tag or two. #nastyfew for power from above, #nicenasty for obstruction from within the community itself, #fluffy for the timid. A clean three-part vocabulary?

#MarcoRubio to be defiant on status of #US #ForeignPolicy in first congressional testimony since #IranWar

The fmr Republican senator is set to defend the #Trump admin’s bulldozing of US #SoftPower in his opening statement to senators Tuesday as part of an annual budget request hearing.

The written remarks focus mostly on the #WesternHemisphere, with NO mention of the ongoing, sprawling US operations in the #MiddleEast.
