      think I noticed this in '99 when every god-damned outlet in the country was talking about how Clinton was "stepping up" attacks on Yugoslavia for about eight weeks straight

      it's astonishing that they don't attempt to deviate from the script at all. they must know that it breaks the kayfabe and either don't care, or possibly are under explicit instructions to use the language given to them by corporate.

      It’s mainly rational laziness. Most people can’t be arsed to put in extra effort when nobody really cares, and they have bills to pay, and a sprawling list of overdue deadlines, etc

      you're probably right but I choose to believe that they are intentionally more malicious than is necessary because they enjoy getting away with evil

          Oh the State is definitely in the business of that. Want to see some real evil shit look up how the US Army uses modern marketing funnels + scifi movies to do hypertargeted recruitment

          strong prior that the army's recruitment strategies are about as disconnected from outcomes as everything else the government does

          Not sure what you mean by that...? That the org is too big to appreciate what it’s doing? That’s probably true; still the reality is the most gullible of bros are funneled and patriotpilled into thinking they’re joining a glorious battle of good vs evil

          you described the recruitment as "hypertargeted" but it is seems unlikely that the military is actually "hypertargeting" very well except by accident; I doubt that there is a tight feedback loop from recruiting outcomes to the people doing the targeting

          They enjoy getting money; they’re only as evil or malicious as necessary to get $$. If someone slightly less evil makes more $$ they’ll be promoted over them. I think we want to believe in malice because indifference feels cruelerhttps://aeon.co/amp/ideas/what-did-hannah-arendt-really-mean-by-the-banality-of-evil …

          This would be true in other areas, but the primacy of negative emotion for attention and intensity, and the nature of news as clicks, entertainment means the area does, now, essentially select for evil and malice.

          Oh it selects for outrage and luridity for sure; it’s just worth noting that the process that selects for this is agnostic. Alain de Botton captures this well in The News where journalists reporting on crises in Africa found their content outperformed by royal wedding details etcpic.twitter.com/RnVz1Bbrmi

          Right, part of the selection process is the zeitgeist itself. You can't fully blame the news for the fact that chaos and anger sell, nor for the popularity of a royal wedding. Hence the "now", and the reference to our psychology. We make the news evil (now) as much as it does.
