Some people deny reality because they’re confused.
Some deny it because they’re scared.
Some because they’re angry.
But then there’s something deeper, something more organised.
Something I call disordered denial.

🧵 This is a perfect example of how disordered discourse reshapes democratic politics, not by policy failure, but by the performative targeting of identity. Let’s unpack what’s happening.

The trip I got to take to Finland schools to see their media studies curriculum in action was absolutely amazing.
The curriculum there starts early and then continues in the form of adult education that is very affordable. It's part of what inspired me to start @darktimesacademy.bsky.social

In Finland, media education has been part of schools since the 1950s and is woven into the curriculum. Students learn about propaganda, misleading statistics, and even create their own media messages to understand how narratives shape perception.
