The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)
Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)

@pluralistic I get Cory’s long posts via email, so to keep myself from seeing them here as well, I just mute #longthread
The social norm is constructed: not naturally occurring but created by the society in which it is found.
Hence there are no actions which in themselves are inherently #abnormal or universally condemned by all societies at all times. Deviance is thus situational and contextual.
It was easier to locate the individuals in their private houses.
“We were not interested in killing operatives only when they were in a military building or engaged in a military activity. On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”

If I want to read a long thread, I’ll choose a book. Not someone in social media. #longThread
The first AI war was in May 2021.
#IDI stands for the Intelligence Division of the Israel army. Here is some praise of technology usage:
May 2021 "is the first time that the intelligence services have played such a transformative role at the tactical level.
This is the result of a strategic shift made by the IDI [in] recent years. Revisiting its role in military operations, it established a comprehensive, “one-stop-shop” intelligence war machine, gathering all relevant players in intelligence planning and direction, collection, processing and exploitation, analysis and production, and dissemination process (PCPAD)".

If all you post here is long threads where every tweet has a content warning, you’re dead to me. It takes up so much real estate because it’s not like Twitter where it gets more threaded.
Ugh. It’s really possible to express things in 2-4 tweets and leave a few points unsaid. I haven’t even had coffee yet and a 23-thread post makes me want to dropkick you to the surface of the sun.
Write a blog post, for fuck’s sake. It’s not hard. #longthread #eatme
So you may avoid writing #pullRequests to #Mastodon if your concern is #safety. #savesTime
We explained above the growing concern of #personalSafety and 
#communitySafety at #Mastodon. I will propose shortcuts to be discussed below. Mind the very #longThread

I have a hint that a conversation on the #governance of #Mastodon flavours would be useful. Here is a #longThread
Let us talk about the struggle between creator and #community. This time we include newly arrived people.
I will propose how to alleviate with shortcuts.
