Then some intern at my company comes up with a genius idea, that I will, of course, take credit for.

What we do, they say, is seed two lots of mutually contradictory ideas into their networks.

One, we troll the well-meaning but gullible old-school-unionist and eco-nationalist types with all sorts of vaguely plausible-sounding anti-corporate conspiracy theories. All of them built around tropes that sound vaguely crypto-fascist if you squint at them the right way.

You're getting confused between my speculative fiction PR campaign set in the noughties (ie 2000-2010), and the historical PR campaign created to turn as many people from the 1960s-70s counterculture as possible into neo-reactionaries obsessed with "small government" (ie socialism for the rich).
