World Social Forum Model of Activist and Cross-border Activation

I was playing around with Insight Maker‘s System Dynamics modelling tools and decided to make this model on the social movements connected to the World Social Forum.

The above is based on their 2005 and 2007 surveys, formating with an eye to netwar operations and digital/in-person protests swarms.

It’s far from a final rendition of the dynamics at play within the movement of movements – but does provide an example of political targeting that not only far pre-dates the Cambridge Analytica model but shows it to be inferior as it’s not relaying on simplistic-to-the-point-of-being-sophistry models of influence like those associated with the OCEAN personality tests.
