ideological aggression

Read a random definition: traveler's letter of credit

A quick definition of ideological aggression:

Ideological aggression is when one country intentionally spreads ideas to manipulate the people of another country to maintain or change their government. This is done through hostile propaganda, which can be carried out by any means of communication. It is a type of subversive propaganda that can incite civil war or revolution. War-mongering propaganda is another type of propaganda that encourages a government to declare or join in a war, regardless of any legal constraints.

A more thorough explanation:

Ideological aggression is a type of propaganda that is used to spread ideas intentionally and deliberately in order to manipulate controversial attitudes and positions. It is hostile propaganda that is used by a state to incite and influence the people of another state to maintain or alter the institutions and policies of that state. This type of propaganda can be carried out by any means of communication and can come from within or outside the territory of the victim state.

  • Hostile propaganda: This type of propaganda is used by a nation to manipulate the people of another nation to support or oppose their government. For example, a country may spread false information about another country's government to incite its citizens to rebel against their leaders.
  • Subversive propaganda: This type of propaganda is calculated to incite a civil war or revolution. For instance, a group may use propaganda to encourage citizens to overthrow their government and establish a new one.
  • War-mongering propaganda: This type of propaganda is used to produce national support for a war and to encourage the government to declare or join in a war regardless of any legal constraints. For example, a country may use propaganda to convince its citizens that another country is a threat to their national security and that war is necessary to protect their country.

These examples illustrate how propaganda can be used to manipulate people's beliefs and attitudes towards a particular government or country. It can be used to incite violence, rebellion, or war, and can have serious consequences for the victim state and its citizens.

@CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage: so when I get decisions EST?
CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage
16:07
@MrThickRopes: I saw a YLS reject wave at 4:45 a couple of weeks ago, so I'd say 5:00 is a safe cutoff guess for schools in EST, given that's when admin offices typically close for the day

Have you looked at the admit graphs for the schools you've applied at? It can be helpful. For example, I sort the results based on complete or under review date and see if people who went complete or under review after me have received answers. If they haven't, scrolling down to see when people who have received answers, and when they went complete or under review, gives me an idea of how far out I might be for getting a response

@MrThickRopes: If I see people that went complete or under review after I did, and they are getting interview invites, then I lower my expectations for a positive result at that school.
MrThickRopes
16:12
Thx

@MrThickRopes: If someone who went complete or under review two weeks after me is getting accepted or interview invites, then it seems likely that I'm not a hot candidate for that school. Conversely, if there have been rejections of applicants who went complete or under review after me, that I feel somewhat confident that I am still in consideration

@MrThickRopes: you can also sort by decision date and look at the graph at the top left to get a good idea of when schools have waves (every week, every other week, Thursdays, rainbow or solid, etc.). While you still won't have control, it gives you a better idea of what you can expect and when
MrThickRopes

Cool I’ll do that

BC is every two weeks so there is a very good chance their wave will be on thursday

How does the live updates page work? I notice that I'll often see the same person receive 4-5 or even more decisions within a minute or two. Do schools provide decisions for specific LSAC account #s and then LSAC releases them in batches or something along those lines?
CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage
17:44
@SplittingNotQuitting: If you click on the name, you'll likely notice that they are updating their profile with decisions received on multiple different days.
CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage
17:45
@SplittingNotQuitting: Everything on here is self-reported, so we have to count on each other to be accurate and update for us to use the data points effectively

Ah, I understand. I was under the impression it was interfaced with the automatic status updater. Thanks.
CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage
17:47
@SplittingNotQuitting: I actually haven't seen anyone on here say that the automatic status updater works. Just lots of questions from individual users as to why they can't get their updater do work 🙃

Haha. I was wondering how legit it was. I'll just continue to watch my LSAC status tracker and email like a hawk.

I am half expecting a restraining order from my status tracker. I feel dangerously close to reaching stalker status 😳

W&M sent an apology letter for not having my decision on time. I appreciate the thought but I also was preparing myself for the worst

@UnderRepresentedTryhard: Did they send you an answer with their apology?!?

eggan
20:51

eggan
20:52

Is a $30k total difference in COA between two similarly ranked schools too much? Even if the most expensive one has a niche concentration I want to pursue?
UnderRepresentedTryhard
22:54
uhhh if you're rolling in dough (hundreds of millions to billions) sure...but if you're taking out a loan, don't do it. You can pursue what your niche falls under and their may be a course that teaches that niche. check courses if they're available tho
