The "contextualization pattern" is one of the most prevalent and most evil antisemitic tropes in media. It frames Jewish suffering as "understandable due to the circumstances", narratively shifting Jews from victims to active/willing participants in their own persecution.

In this article from the Montreal Gazette, three Jewish businesses in Canada were targeted with Swastikas and other hate-filled graffiti.

The article then immediately mentions the war in the Gulf, as if the two are related.

Not only are Canadian Jews not involved in the war against Iran, but such reporting also ignores the antisemitism that has been rampant across Canada for the last decade, and especially the last few years, including just this week with (yet more) shootings of synagogues in Toronto, a pattern that's become incredibly common.

As International Women’s Day approaches, we examine how agentic AI is automating and amplifying gender bias in business workflows, often reinforcing systemic inequalities, and provide some ideas for what can be done to change course.

When Iranians are the victims, the perpetrator is not named and it’s reduced to a “reported” strike.

But when Israelis are the victims, the headline is unambiguous and it’s clearly attributed to an Iranian “missile attack”.

#CBC: Poilievre targets Trump, urges Canada to focus on what it can control in major speech

No link, because this is #CPC propaganda. The CPC is not in government. They do not make "major speeches", except in response to the government or about the party. Sorry, that is simply fact.

The synopsis text is worse: "Conservative leader warns 'China is not a substitute for the United States'"

Of course not. No one **wants** a substitute. They want something completely different.

If you are not sure how your family shifted #right or #farright so quickly, beyond television (particularly shocking in France) there is #socialmedia #bias, structurally designed to shift the Overton window to the right with long-term effects, as shown in this new Nature research...

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10098-2#Sec4

Evidence that X’s feed algorithm tends to push more conservative content to users’ feeds. Seven weeks of exposure to such content in 2023 shifted users’ political opinions in a more conservative direction, particularly with regard to policy priorities, perceptions of the criminal investigations into Trump and views on the war in Ukraine.

And moreover it is persistent...

A quotation from Hyman Rickover

Another principle for successful application of a sophisticated technology is to resist the human inclination to hope that things will work out, despite evidence or suspicions to the contrary. This may seem obvious, but it is a human factor you must be conscious of and actively guard against. It can affect you in subtle ways, particularly when you have spent a lot of time and energy on a project and feel personally responsible for it, and thus somewhat possessive. It is a common human problem and it is not easy to admit what you thought was correct did not turn out that way.

Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) American naval engineer, submariner, US Navy Admiral
Essay (1979-05-24), Statement before the Subcommittee on Energy Research and Production, Committee on Science and Technology, US House of Representatives

When AI companies venture defences against legal liability we see them admit that their models are built to influence user behaviour.

"OpenAI said it trains ChatGPT to discourage imminent real-world harm when it identifies dangerous situations and to refuse assistance for illegal activities."

This kind of deliberate psychological influence, whether successful or not, isn't regulated is it?

We were not racists. We did not come from people who owned slaves. Our family were not members of any supremacist organizations. We watched The Cosby Show and we listened to Charley Pride. We were clearly not racists.
