Triangulation Tribe

When women you've messed around with while you had a girlfriend find out about each other, compare notes, and become friends.

Musical Triangulation

The process of describing an artist to a non-listener by comparing the artist to three or more other artists. Usually done with three artists, two of which are similar to each other and the third of which is significantly different, and in the style of: "They are like (similar band #1) mixed with (similar band #2) with elements of (totally different band)"

Speaker 1: You haven't heard Sage Francis? He's like Swollen Members mixed with Sweatshop Union, with elements of Paul Simon.

Speaker 2: Dude, that's an awesome musical triangulation.

Racial Triangulation

Racial triangulation as a divide-and-conquer tactic often involves blaming one community of color for another’s problems, bribing one with resources in exchange for their participation in oppressing another, and creating narratives that cultivate mistrust between them.

Source: Racial Wellness, a book by Jacquelyn Ogorchukwu Iyamah

An example of Racial Triangulation is when legislators created the narrative that Affirmative Action is harmful towards the Asian community in order to justify divesting it, when in reality, it actually helps all communities of color.

triangulate

Triangulation is the process by which some external stimulus provides a linkage between people and prompts strangers to talk to other strangers as if they knew each other

if a bench, a wastebasket and a telephone are placed with no connection to each other, each may receive a very limited use, but when they are arranged together ie{ triangulated }along with other amenities such as a coffee cart, they will naturally bring people together.
