The Full Pitch

Pitch: Counter Disinfolklore ~ Controlling War Magic

As a diplomat operating inside Russia-occupied eastern Ukraine (2015-2022), I coined the term “Disinfolklore.”

Disinfolklore’s diabolical aim is the opposite of positive nationalisms’ goals: Disinfolklorists like the Chief Sorcerer Putin, Shaman Trickster Trump or the Chef of Disinfolklore (Putin’s chef Prigozhin, who financed the Russian army’s “Wagner” division, as well as the troll farms that helped Trump get elected in 2016 and Brexit done) aim to turn our democratic world into Handmaid’s Tale.

On Substack and DecodingTrolls on Twitter / X (see ‘Highlights’ tab, in particular), I apply the “Counter Disinfolklore” analytical method continuously to help my one million+ weekly readers to detect, interpret and counter propaganda, in real time, across our social, news and Disinfolklore distribution media.

This Twitter-compressed pitch deploys the complete cast of Disinfolklorist characters — Chief Sorcerer Putin, Shaman Trickster Trump, Chef Saucerer Prigozhin — and names the endgame: “turn our democratic world into Handmaid’s Tale.” The passage functions as a one-stop elevator pitch for Counter-Disinfolklore, combining the author’s credentials (diplomat inside Russia-occupied Ukraine, 2015-2022), the character taxonomy, and the real-time analytical method in a single compressed thread.
