> do you think there could be different types/branches of this Butterfly War idea? I know your main iteration is mostly focused on turning their own algorithms against them so that they're basically consumed by their own digital fire, but I was thinking about things along the lines of camouflaging oneself through either sarcasm or intentional misrepresentation so that while the algorithms don't pick up on it, people will and they'll be exposed to beneficial propaganda.
Yes, of course. There will be millions of iterations and variations of this idea. The current investment structure of AI makes the entire surface area of entire nations incredibly easy to toy with. Sarcasm research has been done extensively. Double meaning is still a tough nut to crack, which is why my Incorrect Synonym attack works.
> A lot of /pol/acks, either by will or by necessity, already hide their power level, and if you extend that idea even in normal, non-digital interactions, you can subvert the leftist concepts really easily. This is even more pronounced if you pose as one of their own, making them eat their own "deconstruction of ideas" poison to the point that it overwhelms their own politics.
A fun side effect of the censorship wars is that /pol/lacks hide their power level online.
I'm slap in the middle of Hollywood in the belly of the beast and I -never- hide my power level in person. I've even been able to secure tacit support for eugenics in ground zero of this Leftist cathedral shithole. How? Try this out next time for fun:
> “Oh, you think seeking guidance for genetic health is taboo? Yeah? How many people with down syndrome have you had sex with? Exactly.”
I can't keep getting away with it, and yet, I do. How? Simple.
The more we deny our power level online, either by self-censorship, filter bubble distribution, or active suppression, the more the Left can't develop an immunity to these ideas in person. Basically, without proper inoculation online, our ideas become exotic in person. With a tinge of framing and a dab of storytelling skills, even the most ardent Leftist can be brought to a beneficial perspective to consider on their own time. It's not a matter of tricking or hacking them. It's just understanding that the Left is mostly a psychotribe rooted in seeking proximity memetic purity, not pragmatic reality. They live and breathe symbols as absolutes and exotic variations to symbols are the most appealing of all.
Sure, the hatchet jobs to cast anyone darker than coffee as a genocidal Nazi are prime time bread and circus, but there isn't a member on /pol/ on any Chan literally goosestepping on cured Jew skin in their grandfather's SS garb. /pol/ isn't about purity. It is about the eternal mutation of our ideas along the lines of pragmatic adaptation, not memetic purity. Do we need to adopt a Egyptian chaos frog who has suspicious ties to notorious homosexual fixer Roy Cohn in order to bring our ideas to the mainstream? Yes? THEN FUCK IT, IT SHALL BE SO. This is the /pol/ I know and love.
You don't “win” meme wars by destroying contending memes. You either make your memes exotic variants of theirs or you make memes expressing human behavior that previously hasn't been correctly identified but is known by many none the less.
