I’ve been thinking a bit about so called #psyops and how to better inoculate my thinking from manipulation
It seems to have two parts:
1A) Things spontaneously happen
Or
1B) Someone causes things to happen while making it seem spontaneous
And
2) Various people/organizations spin 1A/B to fit a desired narrative or at least align with a certain worldview
Regardless of 1A or 1B, it seems the pivotal part is how 2 is handled. 1B is probably easier to predict and shape but 1A could be just as impactful.
Does giving attention to an 1A/B event, even if to refute the mainstream spin, play into the hands of 2 by giving the ‘fire’ its ‘oxygen’? #asknostr
Specifically thinking about judicial decision about guy on subway, a high attention CEO murder story, and recent #drone confusion.
These each seem important in some way but also a distraction from other, more important issues.
