The War Magic Distinction

Russian (and other forms of) War Magic (a term we use to distinguish non-genocide or territorial expansion promoting Disinfolklore from mere commercial advertising) does indeed work in a very similar way to state of the art advertising. And in Counter Disinfolklore ~ Controlling War Magic we will learn to spot Incoming Trolls in real time (we will sharpen our Incoming Troll Radar and our Outgoing Troll Radar).

We will also get better at parsing the data we are receiving through visual, mental, auditory and other means for the intended meaning of its originator (we look for the Mana of the author of the troll that is nestled in the messaging). And most importantly in Counter Disinfolklore we learn how to counter such attempts at emotional manipulation and reflexive control.

Why “War Magic”? Because not all Disinfolklore is equally dangerous. Commercial advertising manipulates, but it does not promote genocide or territorial expansion. The term War Magic separates the civilisation-threatening variant from the mundane. Counter-Disinfolklore trains three capabilities: spotting incoming trolls, parsing their Mana, and countering the manipulation.
