“Manipulates” = Shakes Our Mana

Disinfolklore manipulates us (literally: ‘pulates’ (shakes) our ‘mana’) which is the well from which, according to Disinfolklore’s analytical framework, all our moods, motivations, attitudes and intentions flow.

Our founding presumption in Counter Disinfolklore is that every time we communicate with others, whether we like it or not, we are manipulating and being manipulated. This exchange of Mana or energy is a function of being human — it is in fact why we are called humans.
