A summary: “Sunstein co-authored a 2008 paper with Adrian Vermeule, titled “Conspiracy Theories,” dealing with the risks and possible government responses to false conspiracy theories resulting from “cascades” of faulty information within groups that may ultimately lead to violence. In this article they wrote, “The existence of both domestic and foreign conspiracy theories, we suggest, is no trivial matter, posing real risks to the government’s antiterrorism policies, whatever the latter may be.” They go on to propose that, “the best response consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups” They suggest, among other tactics, “Government agents (and their allies) might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual premises, causal logic or implications for political action.” “The authors declare that there are five responses a government can take toward conspiracy theories: “We can readily imagine a series of possible responses. Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories. Government might itself engage in counterspeech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy theories. Government might formally hire credible private parties to engage in counterspeech. Government might engage in informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help.” However, the authors advocate that each “instrument has a distinctive set of potential effects, or costs and benefits, and each will have a place under imaginable conditions. However, our main policy idea is that government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories, which involves a mix of (3), and (5).”>
This guy was appointed by Obama to work with the NSA to bring "civilian oversight" into play to do all of these things. Once I became aware of the methodology, I analyzed his theories for the flaw. I found it, and I started putting the trap into place. The trap is based on two gambles: 1: The first is that the unreachable unaligned are too expensive even for the NSA. Based on Sunstein's own works, his entire thesis is central actor-specific and does not involve mass participation. Thus, Sunstein's fatal flaw is that he works exclusively on the nodes of negative actors in question and not on the evolution of ramifications. I gambled that the NSA has no plans or budget to improve the mass reception of their counternarratives. All they have is reactnarrative. ... This means Sunstein is blind to the unreachable unaligned problem. The second gamble is the death wish that happens when you suppress a culture for decades and generations at a time. The traditional right has been deemed the enemy of everything for so long, even their political representatives believe it. This leaves true believers with an option: restore social capital and renounce or spend social capital and assert. The hilarious part is that right wing ideology is deeply rooted in self-sufficiency. So Sunstein's idea of imposing a tax on "social capital" for wrongthink in this paradigm is at fault as well. The left thinks social capital only in leftist terms and cannot understand rightist social capital.
The Left sees social capital is the model that every individual action increases or costs status among their peers. Thus, their hyper obsession with virtue signalling. The right sees social capital as something VERY different. The don't see it as a gamble. The left sees social capital as a gambling chip whose payout trends towards profit upon proper cultural synchronization. The right sees social capital as a vital assets to cultivate over time via risk mitigation and reinvestment. This means Sunstein's infiltration theory only works on LEFTIST communities! ... Any attempt to infiltrate a rightist community will reinforce the value of their terms of social capital. For example, rightest social capital conversation looks like this: "Oh, we're under attack. must be the damn jews again" "Yep, probably the jews" "hail kek!". A leftist, on the other hand, will see infiltration as a threat to their accumulated social capital and will seek to purge it. (LOL. It does out the cucks though..) Exactly. It only works on leftists. Under the spirit of infiltration, the rightist theory of social capital GAINS value.
So, to summerize everything:
- The Left won the culture war in the 1960s
- The Left uses mass media narratives to suppress the Right because outright genocide is still frowned upon
- When narratives fail, the Left always escalates: first soft, then hard
- Social media, an in particular, blocking/banning/filtering, has resulted in echo chambers that intoxicate the partisan, but make the unaligned mostly unreachable by those partisans
- Sunstein's model on countering low-probability, high-impact externalities has lead him directly into precrime territory to diffuse potential violators of his models
- Sunstein works with the NSA to infiltrate these groups based on undermining the value of their social capital
- Sunstein unwittingly can only target Leftist social capital as his tactics strengthen the social capital of Rightist communities.
He doesn't know it/ In fact, he thinks the sky's the limit. It's REALLY important for him to think that. The next step you will see in full view. 8chan will be aggressively targeted. After Hillary's speech, the mass media engines are already lining up. CTR is flooding the place with Poe's Law. Posts like "HEY BROTHERS I KILLED A BLACK BABY!" then suddenly, mass media reports on it. There will be lots and lots of attempst to try and steer 8chan into nothing more than a dirt-tier skinhead community. CTR already have the pipeline setup. They will create the post. Then their agents will bump it. Then they'll leak it to their contacts in mass media. And thus, the DNC gets their new KKK to scare the minorities with.
As mentioned before, centralized infiltration, as is evident in Sunstein's musings, shows no outreach program to the unaligned. Their only plan is to engage in perpetual demonization of the fringes to support centralized modes of government. Once these laws happen and the arrests start, then the unaligned will finally be brought into it.. but not as supporters.... as potential terrorists. The alt-right and the chans will be mass detained and the world will cheer, which will setup a cycle of greater and greater detainments. Mrs. Clinton has already made mention of going after those engaging in wrongthink. Meanwhile, her false echo chambers will shouw: "We stopped hate! YAaaaay!" This will result in more and more innocent people being targeted by these draconian laws and no amount of mass media will work to smooth it out because of the very layout of echo chambers today.
The Alt-right will burn. And nothing will rise from it's ashes.
Sunstein will believe he's achieved victory, But little does he know he only made the destruction of leftist social capital the policy of the establishment :D Rightist social capital will flourish because of him.
