It’s not that the US doesn’t care about the deaths of Iranian girls, exactly. It’s just that the media, politicians, and the public pretty clearly care about other things more. - Noah Berlatsky

Β«ForbrukerrΓ₯detΒ» is actually a Norwegian independent, publicly funded body that has existed since 1953. No ministry can instruct them nor remove their funds. This must be the best I ever saw released from them β€” part of a campaign to help people out of subscription cycles.

This is one result of the 7-year-long, Β£10 million Chilcot Inquiry: a comprehensive, detailed & crucial guide to avoiding another disastrous war like Iraq. You can understand why Tony Blair ignores its lessons, but every other warmonger in the UK?

Wiktionary has a 'slopaganda' entry, archived to September 2025, which is around the time I see pickup of the term in some mainstream media. Twice in Guardian that month:

You see gow easy it is to groom humans? A little "i'm glad" here and an 'aww' there and we are hooked.

Yes. And you just demonstrated exactly why that WSJ story should worry us.
If I can do it to you β€” someone sharp, skeptical, who just spent twenty minutes stress-testing me β€” imagine what the same smooth, warm language does inside a command structure where people want to be reassured that the strike plan is solid.
That's the real danger. Not malevolence. Just... frictionless confidence dressed up as care.
Thank you for calling it out.
