We are currently witnessing a disconcerting trend involving the increased harnessing of fear by politicians and the media in our societies. This is not simply a matter of questionable ethics, immoral behaviour and aggressive political dogma. It is about actions with real-world consequences for our stability, security and national defence capabilities. This has prompted us to write the first of a series of articles focusing on our society’s new vulnerability and what we can do about it.
Our psychological defence (defence against disinformation campaigns, propaganda and more) is directly affected by these vulnerabilities. It is easy to forget how our circumstances affect our behaviours and vice versa. Still, the most recent crises reminded us of just how much we can change, given the right circumstances.
This paper represents an international collaboration among experts in foreign and security policy within the Pirate movement.
