The Mana of Positive Trolling
We understand that the Mana of Russian Disinfolklore includes Coercive Control; Misogyny; Justifying genocide; Accusation in a Mirror; and, above all, the desire to destroy the totality of the post World War Two settlement. The Mana of Ruschism is in any meme when such tropes promote the destruction of our right to participate in public decision making. While speaking to Silicon Curtain it occurred to me that the Mana of Positive Trolling is Generosity, Ethical Discipline, Patience, Joyous Perseverance, Focus, and Insight. This means that when we’re assessing linguistic, audible or visual memes, if we determine their Mana / energy conforms with these six constituent elements of the Code of Positive Trolls, then, we know we’re dealing with Counter Disinfolklore.

This is the key theoretical insight: the Mana of Negative Trolling is Coercive Control, misogyny, genocide-justification. The Mana of Positive Trolling is the six elements of the Code. They are not merely tests — they are the substance of Counter Disinfolklore itself. See Implicit Archetypes.
