The exploitation of digital media to unfairly influence the outcome or to create an unjust result. It can be a form of cheating and illicit practices that take advantage of and exploit media users. In some cases, media users are programmed to go viral with misinformation or disinformation. Much like when an arson strikes a match when the conditions are favorable for a wildfire to spread in ways that are most damaging to the environment.
The Russians have learned quickly that they can positively influence the outcome of an election through digital exploitation. much easier than conventional war. Surprisingly they have the help of a large minority of the public who support their candidate right or wrong.

Someone who is not so drunk that they can call an Uber or Lift driver or taxi driver, and who has the means of paying for the driver.
Anne will be the designated drunk driver since she has an Uber of Lift app on her I phone and never is so drunk or poor that she can't call and pay for one. Also Anne would never leave any of us behind, or anyone drunk with the keys to a car.

When the dominant culture forces a minority to adopt to a dominant culture (revisionist history, customs, mannerisms, traditions, pedagogy, attire, names, language, history, religion, etc). The dominant forces in the culture may also force the minority into an economic system in which all but a few in a minority group is exploited and for which the the dominant leaders have inherent disadvantages.
The authorities assured us that cultural erasure was a myth and that the minorities cultural practice of living in tight close knit compounds only coincidentally looked like forced labor work camps because of the security towers The authorities noted that these primitive people preferred being assimilated in the dominant culture because it gave them unlimited opportunities to work, and an extreme sense of security.

A small window of opportunity you can walk into a store and take at your own risk what you want without paying ; e.g. after a natural disaster or social unrest or war. The sale does not have to occur on any specific day, but it requires certain conditions. It is illegal in almost all circumstances, with the exception of some areas which have been devastated by a disaster and for which taking certain items is necessary for basic survival.

A belief that political miracles are achieved by sheer will force. Proponents of the Green Lantern Theory have attributed failure and compromise to a lack of presidential willpower. Matthew Yglesias came up with the Green Lantern Theory of Geopolitics* to ridicule conservatives who claimed "the only thing limiting us is a lack of willpower" in foreign policy. The Green Lantern Theory was later applied to the Obama Administration who seemed to lack the will power to make the radical changes in policy such as universal health care, lowering medical costs, banking reform, and peaceful negotiations that people had hoped for., especially after the Republicans took over the US House in 2011.
Bernie supporters are big proponents of Green Lanternism and fail to recognize this kind of “Presidentmania” where the President can get anything done if he really wanted to, fails to take into account the significant amount of bureaucracy legal barriers, and the number players the president has to deal with such as legislators, special interests and Jurists who often do everything in their power to block the president from making these achievements.
