wonderful piece from @clintsmithiii.bsky.social that, among other things, makes abundantly clear that pete hegseth and the trump administration are engaged in a racist purge of black officers under the belief that being black and having "merit" are mutually exclusive.

They devoted their lives to serving the United States. Now the nation’s top military leader is sending the message that they’re not welcome.

Online communitarian appeals increase opposition to violent extremism

-Communal harmony message most successful on FB, most robust to counter-messages
-Increased intention to oppose extremist orgs
There's very few RCT evaluations of the effectiveness of different CVE messages, and even fewer outside Europe
So we created 3 video messages & conducted a very large-scale (38 million impressions) Facebook study in Bangladesh and paired it with a large follow-up survey experiment
New paper @pnasnexus.org w/ @brendannyhan.bsky.social & @elsavoytas.bsky.social
Can we reduce support for violent extremism? And, if so, which messages work best?

What did we find?
1. Appeals to communitarianism worked best to reduce support for violent extremism + was most resistant to counter-messaging
2. Surprisingly, we find that a religious message was not especially effective
3. Nor was a "tough" message that emphasized the dangers/costs of terrorism
The social science community lost a good soul this week. Rest well, @raulpachecovega.bsky.social
