Psychological Warfare - Using...

Cito Harder

Psychological warfare is the deliberate use of tactics designed to influence, manipulate, and control the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors of individuals or groups. It involves the strategic deployment of psychological tactics to achieve specific objectives, often with the goal of weakening the will, confidence, and decision-making abilities of an opponent. Unlike physical warfare, which relies on the use of force and violence, psychological warfare focuses on undermining an adversary’s mental state, creating doubt, confusion, fear, or anxiety. The concept of psychological warfare spans across military, political, social, and personal domains, and its methods are utilized to achieve both large-scale and individual objectives.
At its core, psychological warfare operates by exploiting the weaknesses of human perception, beliefs, and emotions. It seeks to manipulate how people think, feel, and act, often in ways that are subtle and hard to detect. Through the strategic use of information, misinformation, fear, and emotional appeals, psychological warfare can alter the course of events and influence outcomes in a way that physical force alone cannot achieve. This manipulation can be direct, as in the use of propaganda, or more covert, as in the use of gaslighting to distort reality and create confusion.
Psychological warfare can be seen in many contexts, from international conflict and military operations to corporate competition, political campaigns, and even personal relationships. For example, in warfare, psychological tactics are employed to break the enemy’s morale, instill fear, and create division within their ranks. In the political arena, psychological warfare is often used to manipulate public opinion, spread propaganda, and discredit opponents.

Playing through Pain - The...

Daniel Sailofsky

For many fans and casual observers, professional sports and violence are deeply connected. Violence on the field has real consequences for players, notably in the form of life-altering injuries from concussions. Off the field, in the last several decades, scores of athletes have committed violent acts, from domestic abuse and sexual assault to animal abuse and murder. Beyond athletes, sport also serves as a site of political and structural violence, from the displacement and hyperpolicing of everyday people for mega-events to the "sportswashing" of environmentally harmful industries. 
 
 
 
Daniel Sailofsky examines the endemic violence in professional sports and argues that—while related to masculinity, misogyny, and individual factors like alcohol consumption and gambling—it is most intimately tied to capitalism and to capitalist modes of consumption and profit. Sailofsky explains how capitalism creates the conditions for violence to thrive and uncovers how sports leaders—coaches, league officials, and team owners—obfuscate these relationships to avoid accountability. 
 
 
 
From minor league baseball exploitation to spectator hooliganism, Sailofsky shows the connections between the business of sports and violence, but also, more importantly, he imagines new forms of sport that are not places of harm.
