Narrative Warfare: Empire Knows The Plebs Don't Go Out Of Their Way For Anything

Recently a British man by the name of Sam Melia got arrested and convicted in a purely political prosecution by the Crown.

Sam Melia sentenced to 2 years in prison for sticker campaign.

Judge Tom Bayliss KC said: "The sentence would have been much longer had you actually committed a crime"

The judge admitted on the record that Mr. Melia committed no crime. Yet, invoking "incitement" and dismissing provable facts as irrelevant, he ordered Mr. Melia jailed anyway.

That's a travesty of justice, but the real horror will come when Mr. Melia's friends, family, and associates go forth to the good people of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. They can, and they will, explain with receipts provided that no crime was committed and thus there is no justification for imprisonment.

As The Shiba of Color stated, they will not care.

The common man, the pleb, the Normie, does not go out of their way for anything. If it does not directly and immediately affect him or what he cares about, he could not care less about whatever it is you're on about.

Competent political operators know this. All of their efforts are about getting the correct demographic groups to become convinced that (issue or policy) directly and immediately affects them and what they care about while ensuring that those they want to afflict are demotivated, demoralized, and disorganized- chiefly by convincing them of the opposite.

This is what the smarter, more cunning, Thralls of Empire have a deep and institutional acumen about- one that dissidents are foolish to ignore.

There is an abject lesson in turning this to one's own advantage, and that's the return of George Galloway to the United Kingdom Parliament in a by-election. He targetted a very specific constituancy with very weak Establishment candidates, a divided local populace, and one easily propagandized to in order to generate sufficient voter turnout to win that seat.

The Lotus Eaters Podcast (by and for British people) did a great job talking about this after the fact.

Those dissidents that still think that there needs to be remedy found within the political system that Empire controls had better be paying attention to both stories, because the lessons smeared in their face by the former story got applied in the latter for the benefit of a man whose made a career out of being a contrarian against Globohomo.

There's millenia of literature all about why Normies don't care even if they know what's going on; go read it.

What you need right now to take away from all of this is that effective political action revolves around connecting your preferred man/policy/etc. to addressing them or what they care about here and now. The rest is details and refinements.

(And this is why I find Muh Democracy to be fake and gay, leading inevitably to Empire openly manifest in all its blood-and-fire horror like a cosmic vampire.)
