The MIMA Donation Example

Stories to affect our moods, our attitudes, our motivations and our intentions. They use stories to do this, to deflate our feeling of agency and to make us think resistance is futile. They coercively control our activities by affecting our Mana, which is the well from which all our moods, intentions, attitudes and motivations flows.

They use stories to deflate us and to affect our motivations, which we’re not even aware of. We’re just consuming a story about such and such thing, about Ukraine and something that might have happened. But at the end of the story, we decide not to donate money to Ukraine.

This is the canonical worked example of how Coercive Control operates below conscious awareness through the MIMA mechanism. You intend to donate. You consume a story. You decide not to donate. At no point were you “told” not to donate — your motivation was coercively drained by a story whose Mana carried the energy of Coercive Control. The donation you never made is the invisible tax levied by Disinfolklore on every act of solidarity.
