Narrative Warfare: On Poz, Japan, & Heresy

As a companion piece to my Big Think at Empire today, I'll talk about the nice conversation I had with one of my pals on Twitter about Woke power flexing. It started here.

As I keep saying, their problem is less with the content and more that the "wrong people" like it. https://t.co/TfyT6pNhI2

The first big takeaway is by Beige: "This is why I get annoyed at the "get woke, go broke" meme. The enemy neither want nor need our money. The enemy are the ones who make Money Printer Go Brr and direct its output wherever they see fit. The point is to make sure we have nothing we want to buy. If we're seen as enjoying a thing, that thing must be taken over and changed until we find it disgusting. The fact that nobody else wants it means nothing. We've been humiliated and that matters more to them than any money we have."

This is all about humiliation and demoralization of a targeted people.

I'm on record as saying that our enemy running (ruining) our popular culture will try to poz Japan if they can, but if that's not working they'll go to containment. Beige reminded me that in addition to wielding anti-piracy and copyright against dissidents, the financial attacks we've seen against Dick Masterson and Red Ice Creations (as well as Gab) can also be used against others. No, not individuals, but importers and VPNs; "stop importing this or we cut off your access" is not impossible to do. They've already done this to firearms-related businesses.

As for the poz, friend of the Retreat Rawle Nyanzi is on record saying that they can do it. I do not dispute this; I think the question is if it's going fast enough for them to accept staying that course over containment, and I don't think it is or we would not see them start censoring and restricting Japanese media. Yes, so far it's (a) the edgelord stuff and (b) mostly in Australia, but those are test cases where they're hammering out how to get it done across the West prior to rolling it out.

As for how? Two primary vectors: pozzing Japanese university students in Western schools, and inserting pozzed foreigners into Japan. Both involve networking them into positions to either gatekeep or poz Japanese media on the Japanese side, gaslighting our friends in Japan into compliance.

This is why we need to make and maintain cross-Pacific ties. Our Japanese friends do see that we've got this Death Cult here, and they're not happy with it; the reactions to Uzaki-chan (of the series where she's the star) demonstrate this, as well as the good reaction to George Alexopoulous's cartoons showing SJW operations in tabletop RPGs, so it's not without hope.

Bad as things are, let us not forget that these cultists are but men and men can be dealt with.

Which leads to one other Beige Shiba observation:

Yes, "wokeness" is just a Christian heresy that got out of hand because it's able to pretend it's a secular phenomenon and thus work around a lot of pre established mechanisms we have for containing heresies.

Wokeness, the SJW Creed, is LITERAL HERESY. Stop fucking around and deal with it properly.
