Characters as Countries and Concepts
Let’s look at how scanning informational units / memes for immanent characters might help us better interpret manipulation techniques, in real time. We look for the Mana in the Meme. So today, the character of the Mana we’re hunting out in the data entering our mindstreams is what I designate as a “character.”
In the Disinfolklore Analytical Method for parsing Disinformation, a ‘character’ can correspond to a real person, fictional beings, countries, fictional animals (Russia archetyping as a ‘bear’ is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and a perfect example of a perennial character in Disinfolklore), and in fact any existent.

In Disinfolklore, ‘character’ means more than a person. Countries, concepts, fictional animals — any existent can function as a character in a Disinfolklore narrative. Russia archetyped as ‘the bear’ is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This expanded definition is what makes archetypal literacy a universal detection method: once you see that Ukraine, NATO, ‘the West’ are all being cast as characters with archetypal personalities, you can decode the manipulation regardless of the domain.
