Methodology

The analytical methods used in Disinfolklore research. The Disinfolklore framework draws on Indo-European comparative mythology (Dumézil), folklore studies, coercive control research, and the author’s field experience in eastern Ukraine. This collection gathers posts that explain and demonstrate these methods.

The Twelve-Tools Method

The core method is the Twelve Tools framework — a systematic approach to detecting, evaluating, and defeating Disinfolklore. The Tools are derived from the evaluative criteria in The Six Perfections, adapted for information warfare, combined with Indo-European mythological analysis.
