Isolated individuals do not make a healthy society atomized, rootless and uninformed individuals are not only prone to the forces of depoliticization, but also to the unreality of populist demagogues, and the discourses of hate and the demonization of others.

The weaponized unreal and anti-epistemology is the stock-in-trade of a digitally oriented transitional far right authoritarian order that holds ultranationalist tendencies and fascist beliefs that has made the obscuring, blurring and manipulation of facts their path to power.

Information -globally sourced, accurate, nimble, helpful information - will become almost as valuable as water is about to be in a world completely ravaged by climate change and corporations. I tried to stop this before we got here, but it's never too late to kick the trash to the curb.

In its simplest form, middle-out looks like a rightwing media personality making a claim about a perceived enemy or concept that they want to try and destroy. That claim then gets spread via networks within social media to alleged grassroots groups and up towards media outlets and national media.

WEAPONIZED UNREALITY IS A “MIDDLE-OUT” CONGLOMERATION OF MISINFORMATION, DISINFORMATION, CONSPIRACY THEORY, STATE AND NONSTATE PR, AND CORPORATE MEDIA “SYNERGY” BETWEEN THEM ALL.

This will go down as one of the darkest pages in a dark chapter in our history. Truly unforgivable that 22 Democrats in the House voted for it.
