On 30 July 2024, SAUFEX blog post #2 proposed a central institution to coordinate national resilience councils.
Later that year, the Commission President used the State of the Union address to announce a European Centre for Democratic Resilience.

"Just inform people" stopped being enough a long time ago. Awareness isn't a defence — skills are. This week: the unglamorous work of actually teaching resilience, at scale.

Spotting FIMI is easy. Reporting it is absurdly hard.
The fix: an open-source, plug-and-play flagging tool, anchored at the EEAS, usable by anyone. Turn bystanders into sensors. This carousel walks it through.

Manipulation spreads through participation — sharing, signalling, belonging. The counter has to work the same way: give people something to *do*. This week, the simplest version of that — a button.

It's easy to design a resilience council on a slide. The test is whether it survives contact with real institutions, real teachers, real citizens — with all their constraints and politics.

The demand for manipulation is, underneath, a demand for belonging. You can't argue people out of that, but you can offer a better version of it: a role, a way to act. That's what a citizen-centred resilience model is really for.

The DSA is top-down. Resilience has to be bottom-up.
GetResilience flips that — putting FIMI analysis and response into councils' and citizens' hands. Whole-of-society isn't a slogan. It's a design.

People don't share manipulation because they lack a correction. They share it because it makes them feel part of something. Which means resilience can't only be top-down and technical.

A detection industry that thrives on an endless supply of threats has a quiet incentive not to end them. That's not a conspiracy — it's a ledger.

We spend enormous energy adjudicating whether individual claims are true. But the machine doesn't run on belief — it runs on incentives. Change what pays, and you change what spreads. Correct one lie, and the ledger just prints another.
