This style of propaganda is part of a doctrine of asymmetric information warfare, which uses our information channels and spaces to wage an endless cycle of chaos and confusion.

Chaos is the strategy, confusion is the result.

The purpose is to overwhelm you, distract you, and exhaust you with constant information overload so you don’t have the clarity to see the big picture or the energy to fight the real battle against fascism.

The ultimate goal is to undermine your perceptions of the world so you never really know what is happening. It’s a strategy to maintain power by keeping you constantly confused and overwhelmed.

Because it is undefinable, it often seems unstoppable. But it's not unstoppable -- you just have to know what you're up against.

And that's my goal: To help you see it, characterize it, and develop the cognitive resilience you need to fight it, so you can save your energy for the real fight ahead.

And I would just like to emphasize that 1) you are not crazy, 2) you are not alone in feeling like we’re spinning out of control, and 3) our collective experience with asymmetric information warfare has been greatly complicated and resulted in far more trauma than it should have because we were betrayed by people and institutions that were supposed to protect and support us. That’s called institutional betrayal, and the result is betrayal trauma.

You are not crazy. You will heal from this.

Some of us were unfortunate enough to be introduced to institutional betrayal in the past. All of us were introduced to institutional betrayal during COVID.

We are a nation suffering from undiagnosed and untreated mass trauma.
