Não vi o vídeo mas certamente ela estava afirmando q foi obrigada a sacar a arma, q a vítima foi ela.
A lógica preemptiva (Brian Massumi, "ontopower") funciona é assim mesmo.

all kidding aside, it's been interesting to revisit ontopower, fear production as a way of justifying a logic of preemption. bush, cheney, and the ever ongoing preemptive war that included extrajudicial killings & all kinds of war crimes
a reminder that the seeds for current moment were always there

People with massive media platforms, like #BillGates - could have reported #DonaldTrump crimes over and over. Bill Gates could have created a website in New Zealand or anywhere to document Epstein Island.

Ontopower is…an intuitive power to incite and orient emergence that ‘insituates itself into the pores of the world where life is just stirring, on the verge of being what it will become and yet barely there’ (Massumi Citation2015: xviii).” I’m spiraling about #AI and Pedwell always helps.

My paper “Memory, Anxiety & the Collapse of Waiting” has been accepted in Memory, Mind & Media! It’s about how social media messes with collective mental time travel by locking us into anxious moods based on Massumi’s notion of Ontopower, which acts on potential and not actual events.

pt. 1/ Massumi's book “Ontopower,” a mode of governance that "operates preemptively and shapes the very conditions of existence." provides an interesting/useful tool of analysis. It describes circumstances in which fear of a behaviour brings about that very behaviour.

Anyway, go read this essay while you’re waiting for Brian’s new book on fascism. It’s an important extension of his earlier (and, imho, brilliant) theorising of ontopower

Polymarket shows how closely tied the speculative logic of prediction markets, actualizing all potentialities(Shaviro), and what Massumi considered in the case of US Iraq War (preemptive logic of ontopower) today's destructo capitalism crisis profiting are laid bare.
