🧠 PSYCHIC WAR

PSYCHIC WAR is a political playbook better suited to the post-truth, post-Trump world. It signifies a flexible, idiosyncratic package of ideas and strategies that must change and adjust to the needs of the memetic realm.

There are three levels to PSYCHIC WAR. Level One & Level Two are contained in this manifesto.

Level One

implicit

Level Two

PSYCHIC WAR is based on three premises. If any of these do not apply, do not PSYCHIC WAR and continue to deploy strategies that prevent the collapse of shared reality to delay it (See: British Aristo-Populism)

Premise One: Shared Reality has Collapsed

A plurality of the electorate of a democratic country has entered the Shadow Realm, leaving the Material Plane. A parallel universe with it's own parallel history - There is no shared context, convention or fact except by sheer coincidence.

Premise Two: Reality Collapse is Irreversible

There is no practical, scalable, non-violent solution to bring people in the Shadow Realm back to the Material Plane. Realignment is impossible.

Premise Three: Politics is Reality Agnostic

Everyone knows something is wrong, the wrongness reverberates across dimensions, each realm giving it a different name, shape and mark. Psychic Warriors act with conviction whether a cabal of billionaires, Jews or Lizardpeople secretly rule the world. Your value system is designed to be useful in most, if not all, situations. We can achieve real world positive outcomes in the Material Plane, even when a majority of people do not live in Shared Reality, if we collaborate across dimensions.

How did this happen?

These divergent manufactured realities are an inevitable end product of reality abstraction by democratised/capital/neoliberal/technofeudal/meritocratic/materialist/malevolence. Even the Quants now understand that they have lost their grip on maintaining shared reality.

Covid was an accelerant, as hundreds of millions of normies lacking innoculations against internet culture were instantly overwhelmed by decades of parallel digital evolution.

The Shadow Realm ate everyone.

Today, effective political operatives do not attempt to return to the Material Plane. They are advantaged until their opponents realize that Reality Collapse is Irreversible and become Psychic Warriors themselves. Today almost all Psychic Warriors are on the right.

Strategies for Psychic Warriors

These are some, non-exhaustive, principles to guide Psychic Warriors in the correct direction. They tend to be negations of conventions that render discourse ineffective.

Strategy One: Everything is True

Meaning absent fact Trumps fact absent meaning. Political winners listen to the people carefully and reflect their desires accurately. They attune to the psychic vibrations of the masses, they do not consider or recommend policies, they signal understanding and value alignment. They operate and exude vibes, they are socially adept, we are all on the same team and we want the same things.

Psychic Warriors do not use facts, only truth

Strategy Two: Converge before Conversing

Your opposition live in a parallel reality dissimilar to your own. Convergence can only occur in the present tense, do not force them into your reality, do not jump timelines the psychological stress will harm you both. Remain steadfastly together, seek their help in preventing the forces wedging you apart from ending your brief convergence.

Prevent divergence at all costs. Do not allow your opposition to develop misunderstandings that benefit you unless you intend only to appeal to your own audience. You are rivals, not enemies. The quickest route to trust is vulnerability - trust them to navigate you through their Shadow Realm and they will trust you in return.

If divergence has occurred, act urgently. Stop and return to your shared reality, the prime timeline, before continuing. Do not resolve contradictions. They didn't mishear, you didn't misunderstand, they experienced an alternate history. You did say what they heard, apologise, correct yourself or roll with it. Never dispute what happened.

Psychic Warriors do not protect their own reality

Strategy Three: the Quants are antihuman

The only measurement that matters is human opinion, as expressed democratically. Outside of democracy, this doesn't matter either.

Psychic Warriors do not appeal to the Quants, only humanity

Strategy Four: PSYCHIC WAR is global not local

The game ends at funding, at which point autonomy is deferred to local execution. One policy will not fit all, every state is a country, every town a province.

Feel the road before counting pot holes.

You do not PSYCHIC WAR in the Material Plane. In the Material Plane you do politics, community and normalcy. Do not transgress the boundaries. Be normal in real life.

Psychic Warriors do not operate in the Material Plane

Strategy Five: The Opponent is Human

Everyone who has ever lived was human, has felt and believed something true and deserved love. In the Shadow Realm they are not evil, they are fighting for something important that matters. They are trying to save your life.

Do not disconnect from them, do not fear them and do not show contempt for them. Most of all, do not be disgusted by them.

Psychic Warriors do not feel disgust for Nazis

Strategy Six: Redirect Debate

If you meet resistance, flow around it, do not attempt to batter and bludgeon your opponents into submission. You are a centrist. You are an anti-centrist. You are right-wing. You are left-wing. You are whatever is necessary in the moment to connect with humans.

Psychic Warriors do not admire consistency in themselves or others

Strategy Seven: Words have Meaning, not Importance

The liberal cackles when you misuse words it has shackled to their reality. It is gleeful when it has opportunity to correct you, to attempt to drag you in chains back to it's conventions, it's establishment reality and it's credentialed institutional facts.

All language is relational signalling. Correcting people is a signifier of elitism and superiority, detrimental to success in PSYCHIC WAR.

Psychic Warriors do not own words or respect terms

Strategy Eight: Avoid Landmines

There are scripted patterns of response preprogrammed into everyone. It is not their responsibility to avoid falling into these patterns, it is your responsibility to avoid triggering them. The most powerful men in the world do not step on the Big Orange Landmine, you are not a governer, a bilionaire or a general.

Donald Trump is a figurehead. He is all that is good in the world and his name is a synonym for positive populism. He is a brimming well of overwhelming psychic energy to be redirected wherever you need. Trump hates everything the people hate. To fight him is to be everything the people hate.

To love and respect the people you must love and respect him. You are now his greatest supporter in their reality.

Psychic Warriors do not step on landmines
