My Google FU is weak, looking for definition for term of violence
Posted by: pRICE cUBE

I have a seen a term in a few different places and I cannot define the term I saw. It is when a person indirectly plants the ideas or gets the ball rolling in someone or many people's heads to commit violence. I tried looking at the thesaurus for works similar to "incite" but the synonyms are all very direct. It is a sublet effect, under the radar. It is done a very devious and deliberate way as to give the speaker plausible deniability.

I will know it when I see it. Thanks in advance.

Well, that certainly casts the word subordinate in a whole new light for me.



It is what it is.

Sorry to be difficult folks but so far I don't see the answer. I think I read a news story and someone in the comments wrote what the term was. I am trying to find it.

Not at all.

I have a feel for the word you're looking for, suggesting machinations behind the scene, not only giving plausible deniability, but 'allowing' subjects to think it was their own idea, instead of the calculated result of careful planning.

The very word will occur to me one night, in my sleep, and I'll bolt upright, dashing to the computer, only fo find it's already been posted.

So I'll have some ice cream.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Orchestrate would be a candidate, except it's often used referencing non-violent scenarios.

Language is fluid.

New word - orchescite. Sounds like some kind of insect, though.

More like a mineral to me -- perhaps only found in nature beneath concert halls. smiling smiley

This isn't an exact match to your situation, and it's not a verb, but "stochastic terrorism" is a term often used to describe what ISIS does, and (to a lesser, more implicit degree) what a certain orange idiot does. You publicly call for people to commit violence for your cause, identifying enemies or tactics, expecting that that seed will land on some fertile mental ground somewhere.

"Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?" is the most famous literary example.

I’m trying to construct a scenario where this word would apply. One where violence is never mentioned or referred to directly or indirectly, but the idea for violence is fostered.

This?

‘Every good faith effort to negotiate we’ve tried has been flatly rejected, and now the situation is nearing the point of no return, with catastrophic results that in all likelihood will be irreversible. At this point, the options available to us have run out, but something has to be done.’
