Mike Benz explains the core of Narrative Warfare in practice: Muh Media Literacy.
That's what it means when some Thrall comes at you with that term: You Are Not Conforming To The Narrative. YOU ARE DOING WRONGTHINK!
Notice what the video is all about: CONTROLLING THE NARRATIVE FRAME!
This is Narrative Warfare, focusing on the mission of keeping counter-narratives from reaching the population fast enough or reaching far enough to counter Globohomo Narrative shaping before an election, with the fallback being outright rigging of the vote result, and the stick being financial attacks of various forms- up to and including having bank accounts seized and access shut off.
If you paid any attention to the rioting in Nepal and Indonesia, and the influence of USAID in both Muh Media Literacy and in the funding of the NGO complex through which Regime Change is exected at home and abroad, then you know that this information control component is also part of that entire structure. If you can control how discussion of a matter is framed, defining what is and is not acceptable opinion, then you control what is thought about it- and thus what can be done about it. They know that you can't act on thoughts you don't have, so if it never occurs to you to think a given way because you never hear someone else say it then you will never consider acting outside the invisible jail walls Globohomo erected around you.
As Benz said, this is not a new concern; just a new framing of an old one.
Empire relies on soft power--and this is in that realm--before going to hard power to stay in power. The soft is failing, hence more uses of the hard, and as that too fails Empire must fall.
