Disinfolklore

Decoding Trolls

Disinfolklore is a new analytical method for parsing Russian, MAGA and, indeed, all forms of emotionally resonant Disinformation. Disinfolklore is a particular form of story telling. Disinfolklore communicates mean Mana / energy directly into our mindstreams. Disinfolklore gets us to think and do what the Disinfolklorists want us to. They want us to check out. To lose hope. Abandon Ukraine, and what Ukraine’s victory symbolises: The security of the post-WWII legal and social order. For

I’m 100% comfortable with using the term ‘meme.’ I use the term ‘meme’ interchangeably with the term ‘informational unit’ and also with the term ‘troll,‘ where troll is describing the item of Disinfolklore or the item of information. So ‘meme,’ for me, is more than simply the visual image that we have come to think about it as being. Obviously, when the term ‘meme’ was coined in whatever was 1976 by by that English philosopher Dawkins, it described ‘informational unit.’ What I call informational

Magic as Propaganda Disguised in Disinfolklore

So my first interest in magic stemmed from reading this paper on the war magic, which was used by the fifth Dalai Lama who lived around 1560, around that time, and was a great esoteric practitioner and basically once and for all beat this other Tibetan Buddhist sect with the help of Mongols and after that ruled Tibet until now. The idea of war magic, I mentioned it last week…Great question. Yes. So my first interest in magic stemmed from reading this paper on the war magic, which was used by the

The United States government has published an Executive Order and a National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-7) (h/t Ken Klippenstein) that use Disinfolklore about an entirely fictional character called ‘Antifa’ to justify entirely un-American activities by the Federal government. Both documents are premised on entirely fictional (Disinfolklore) accounts of so-called Anti-Fascist plans for violence against the Right.

One of the more interesting areas of my research these days is on what Cultural Psychology calls “the Laws of Sympathetic Magic.” These laws or mental routines are very relevant in my Finding Manuland project (particularly the Law of Contagion), as well as in Decoding Trolls. However , the ability of Disinfolklorists like MAGA or Russia to convince us, using Disinfolklore, of the complete opposite of what is true (MAGA will make America great; Ukraine, rather than Russia, is full of Nazis; vaccines

I can define it scientifically. The easiest way to understand what’s happening to us, if you are not MAGA, then just look at MAGA and see how people were wrapped up inside MAGA. You think ‘gosh, that’s really odd. That would never happen to me.’ But now we as a participant in Ukrainian info space, we are now experiencing

Here, Decoding Trolls speaks about hunting for patterns in data. Disinfolklore is one such pattern that recurs in multiple different voices in forms of geopolitically relevant discourse that we do not associate with folklore or child-like emotionally resonant story-telling. Yeah, part of what helped me see this pattern, this is what I really do. I hunt for patterns in data. And I assimilate, as many of us do, who participate in X.

So I took the idea of archetypes from Tibetan Buddhism where the entire practice is about embedding archetypes in our minds and very scary images of the Lord of Death, Yama.And what I noticed in Jung's work, which he takes it, he says he took the idea of archetypes from St. Augustine. So again, it's the similar idea of trying to embed these tropes.I use the term, so for me, the fundamental metaphor is “Trolls”, fundamental “unit of information.” That's another term I use, units of information or

Troll, the clue is in the “trol” element of “control.” So again, it's going back to this idea of movement, which if we look in Shakespeare's English, “trole the bowl,” meaning “pass the bowl.”This is the idea of the pipe being passed around, you troll the bowl. And so control and patrol, we were on patrols in eastern Ukraine. These aren't mere coincidences, I realised. And eventually, after a lot of work, I basically started in earnest around February 2020 looking into folklore, really, because all
