FUD is a propaganda tactic that spreads vague threats, conflicting info, and scary scenarios to confuse and freeze people.

It’s used by corporations, authoritarian regimes, and bad actors to prevent decision-making. 🧵

The strongest move?

Recognize when doubt is being used as a weapon.

Because once FUD takes hold, it doesn’t just attack truth—it erases it.

The strongest move?

Demand clarity and act.

Because when fear and doubt rule, inaction becomes the enemy.

A cartoon of a billionaire hoarding a huge pile of cookies, while warning a white man in high-visibility clothing who has one cookie “Careful, that foreigner wants your cookie.”

The brown man has no cookies and isn’t foreign.

Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt. Powering old media since old white billionaires were younger and had less cookies.

"The postmodern trajectory leaves us in a situation where drawing the line between the real and the unreal is no longer merely philosophical but a practical day-to-day issue. See, this is what I want to drive home. We are not off in some fairy land, this is a practical day-to-day issue of figuring out what’s a simulation and what’s not. Is this guy really an insurance salesman or is he here to rob me? You know, I mean… this is no longer Cartesian doubt that one has to conjure up in a meditation. This is a wide radical doubt about the very ground beneath our feet and the nature of whether it’s real or not." - Texan Rick Roderick, year 1993, Duke University https://rickroderick.org/308-baudrillard-fatal-strategies-1993/

#FearUncertaintyDoubt is always a tool of manipulation. #FUD

Blaming immigration is a hallmark of poor leadership.

Look-over-there isn’t political strategy, it’s just grifting.
