Counter Battery Fire Model

Counter Disinfolklore helps us go a step further than mere resistance when our Incoming Troll Radar identifies a negative troll. After reading this book and becoming a competent counter Disinfolklorist, you will be able to design stories that undermine Disinfolklorists’ goals.

In martial terms, you will develop the means of state-of-the-art capabilities of counter battery fire - in battle when an enemy fires artillery at you, if you have counter battery systems, you can detect precisely where the incoming missile was fired from, and you can fire back destroy the incoming missile and the battery from which it emanated.

The military metaphor for counter-spectacle. Counter battery fire does not just block the incoming shell — it traces the trajectory back to the source and destroys the battery that fired it. Counter Disinfolklore works the same way: not just resisting the spectacle, but identifying where it came from and designing counter-stories that undermine the Disinfolklorists’ goals at source.
