Narrative Warfare: The Thralls Will Not Even ANYTHING Alone

Let me take a break from the geopolitics for a bit. Friend of the blog Rawle Nyanzi brought this to my attention.

As I’ve stated many times before, the extremists only want you playing reskinned humans. https://t.co/bmPreekMIs

Let me unpack this for you, if you don't care about hobby games like Dungeons & Dragons.

The Rewriting Of Myth

I said several years ago that one of the tells of a conquered culture is that its mythology gets rewritten.

By now all of you have seen stories like this come across either your social media feeds or more mainstream news media outlets.

In a perfect confluence of Newspeak, fashionable medicalization, and plain old woke büllshit, the permanent removal of the statue of William Penn, on the historical site of William Penn's home, is being called "rehabilitation" by the National Park Service. https://t.co/0yFhPAgaPt

This is mythology revisionism in action.

This cannot be limited to public artworks, names of institutions, or other things that are considered Serious Adult Stuff.

A conquering religion has to conquer all of the enemy culture's mythology, and that means all of its expressions thereof. In our context, this includes all forms of entertainment or hobby pursuits- and tabletop fantastic adventure games are full of that mythology.

Therefore the conquering culture has to seize control of it and exert what power it can to compel that it conforms to the mythology it seeks to impose upon the conquered.

In colloquial terms, this is a Psychological Operation- a Psyop. Specifically it is a Demoralization and Humiliation Psyop, not only to demonstrate power over the conquered (which they will confess when pressed), but--in playing the long game (on that, see below)--to rewrite mythology and history so that they have always been right and the conquered always wrong.

If that sounds like "We Wuz KANGS!", that's because it is and it works if left unchecked.

There, here and now, young adults that sincerely believe all sorts of revisionist history because that history got rewritten by the conquering party and left unchecked- as Razorfist demonstrated almost a year ago about Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War.

And yes, the Tankies gainsaying him validated his claims by doing so. Retards.

While this move by Wizards of the Coast seems minor, consider how soon the changes wrought just a decade ago to various company-owned products are now seen as normal- as "It's always been this way."

And no, this is not just WOTC. The former owner, TSR Inc., did this also more than once and now there's a massive population of "veteran players" who can't even play the game as it is because their own misbegotten false knowledge--"It's always been like that"--is at odds with the written word on the pages of the games' manuals.

(N.B.: This is the psychological root of the freakouts made at the #BROSR, the cohort of players who sought out to play the game as-written and see how it actually worked, only to find that the results had nothing to do with the Just So fake lore long promulgated via early revisionism. As the saying goes, "As Above, So Below".)

So this drive to purge a hobby game of any vestige of anything, ANYTHING AT ALL that runs contrary to Globohomo's Narrative is just part of a far larger campaign to ensure that no one hears anything but THE MESSAGE and thus believes anything but THE NARRATIVE.

This is grunt-tier Narrative Warfare. This is why Empire Must Fall. Resist here, or believe tomorrow that Black Is White.
