Trolls Adulterate Our Mana
In the manner of a virus hacking our minds, the troll manipulates our Mana / mind to keep their troll moving along. Russia’s Nordic troll monarch Dunce Putin, for example, or the Shaman Trickster Don, are very successful at provoking our minds with emotions (usually fear), which, often carelessly, we communicate onwards into others’ minds. Thereby, executing those demonic trolls’ mean work for them.
Such trolls, once inside our minds, commingle their energy (Mana) with our Mana through linguistic, visual, tonal, or audible means.
They fire their energy / emotions into our Inner Minds, and adulterate our Mana (the well from which our attitudes / motivations / moods / intentions spring).

The virus metaphor for TER. Trolls do not merely trigger emotions — they commingle their Mana with ours, adulterating the well from which all our MIMA springs. The character naming is diagnostic: ‘Dunce Putin’ (Nordic troll monarch) and ‘Shaman Trickster Don’ reveal the archetypal identities the author perceives beneath the political surface. The critical insight: we then carelessly communicate the adulterated Mana onwards, executing the trolls’ work for them.
