How arrogant to say something like this.

You give me hope, thanks.

>>5598

What does the Asian writing in the picture mean?

Is it Chinese or Japanese?

Looks like Japanese katakana to me.

>>5606

No idea m8

>>5606

I think it probably says Macross 82-99. It's a vaporwave band.

>>5588

I think this idea has real potential. I'll start trying it out myself.

I must respectfully disagree with the potential usefulness of this.

A person concerned with memetic warfare should only concern themselves with the message and virility (dankness) of a meme

The purpose is not to boost OUR content for its own sake, but more often to identify existing useful content and then spread it where it needs to be. What this amounts to often is finding dank memes on the chans and spreading them to normie sites (imgur, facebook, tumblr etc) to red-pill them - identifying these macros with a mark would only help weed them out for those in opposition to our ideas and on the same hand it does not help them spread any farther than it would otherwise (except perhaps that a /BMW/ agent recognized it and deliberately spread it, but we are few in number and so I believe that the risks outweigh the benefits)

The symbol you made though could be very useful in threads where it is apparent that /intl/ is shilling

Yes sir, this is a very useful strategy, keep up the good work.

Some more research:

This is only the stuff that is public… Obviously companies like Facebook and Google must have a big interest in this topic too. Who knows what are they working on.

Obvious but, underused.

For experimentation, an ideas is to create memes with archaic or original words attached. Periodically you'll have to record the results and the spike in their usage. See what kind of memes work and what doesn't.

This is offtopic but where the hell is that one "General propaganda thread" or whatever it was called? I can't find it.

PROPER TITLES FOR YOUR THREADS THANKS

I'm not saying this to you, OP.

I looked up the amounts of viewers on the op clip, it has anywhere from 6 million to 10 million viewers.

It seems like the majority of the said viewers watch these sort of things, the subconscious takes it as reality, and has been inoculated against certain fringe memes… in this clip's instance: #monarchy #neoreactionary #post modernist #collapsing

This mechanism seems to work like this, the viewer sees that the protagonist as superior and the neo reactionary antagonist as inferior, this protaganist has an artificial rapport with the liberal audience built up over episodes and seasons of white knightery. This gives the protagonist and authors the ability to set anti bodies to memes by simply having a character lightly dismiss or show superiority to said meme..

Television,hollywood, and media must be the first giant targeted if we are to move forward.

SPACETIME DAMNIT!

It just means alot more runes xDDD

That was very fun to get to the pdf.

Should I read 1600 pages about memes?

>>5539

Of courshe

>>5539

I know right, has anyone read this?

I heard the author is a joo?

How do we know this book is not a psyop to waste our time?

Has anyone that read this book find it to be of practical use?

>>5611

No it's not a psyop. It appears to be dealing with cybernetics and other issues which are encountered in attempting to model and simulate thought, and the transmission of "thought forms" (memes).

You don't have to read every single paper. Consider it background information in a briefing.

I believe that the jews are to be despised only to the extent that they are in opposition to life and beauty - certainly there are good jews but due to some cultural/genetic inclination they tend to exhibit extremely high in group empathy to the exclusion and detriment of all other concerns

I don't deny myself the pleasure of Stanley Kubrick movies because he is a jew just as I would not say that 2 + 2 =/= 4 just because a jew said so

An understanding of group dynamics and tendencies (which is called racism when the evaluation isn't flattering) is absolutely vital when attempting to understand large populations, but when we have the opportunity to know the individual then the information we learn about that specific person is always more useful to understanding that person than trying to apply group averages to an individual

>>5586

That's very fascinating. Thanks for the response.

>I believe that the jews are to be despised only to the extent that they are in opposition to life and beauty - certainly there are good jews but due to some cultural/genetic inclination they tend to exhibit extremely high in group empathy to the exclusion and detriment of all other concerns

I think their mindset stems from the fact that they've been an almost exclusively urban population for the past six millennia or so. This lead their views of what is positive to be that which is constructed: beauty or goodness is imposed, it is no something that arises, this is essence of the doctrine of Tikkun Olam - world correction. Urban living lends itself to relativism because there is no ultimate grounding except relationships between parties and transactions.

Good job m8.

Hmmmm….

what could TheBureaucrat be cooking up I wonder…

>>5581

Cool!

Glad to have you on our side

I'll release the vanity card without deterioration after I have completed my project.

Nice, I look forward to seeing it.

1. Extract as many data feeds as possible. Wikipedia updates, tumblr posts, etc. This static training data can be used in combination with known meme databases(e.g. know your meme or whatever other reddit garbage). Reddit would be a good source as well.

2. Apply machine learning to word groups, filtering by semantic closeness(for instance, "shoop the whoop" -> "shop the whop" should be considered closer to one another than "itty bitty baby" and "milhouse is not a meme" as phrases in the generated classifier. Identical phrases have distance 0, when two people see the same message, only differences in their own pre-existing meme culture can affect their response.

3. Apply this to live data i.e. updates from tumblr, facebook, etc. See the paper above for tracking these word groups around. Combine their methods with large machine learning installations to improve semantic comprehension, so that more subtle memes can be discovered(for instance, the filtering metameme of newageism, which accepts only ideas that make them feel good, or which are ascetically pleasing would be discoverable and indexable with a broad machine learning filter.)

4. Using machine learning informed models, apply your memetic engineering skills to craft memes to deliver your message.

When the NSA is pulling in huge data sets, and all the big companies are pulling in huge data sets, you should be pulling in huge data sets. Learn to program, learn to manipulate data like the pros if you want to have any part in this war.

A good soldier can disassemble his gun blindfolded. You should have a similar level of understanding of the weapons of the meme war. The computer is your tool, learn to take full advantage of it and control it with unlimited precision. Install and harden your system from attack, and use crypto to communicate anything of value. Signal is a well written open-source messaging and phone app that anyone can figure out. Use open software as much as possible, knoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Normally I hate name fans, but this is a special occasion

Odd, to say the least.

>>5554

You're avsolutely doing it right. Every act is political, but it's important to bear in mind that some of our beliefs are always wrong or based on faulty data so that you continue to refine your belief structures and do not succumb to a memetic virus

>>5554

The key to doing it right is to learn. And the key to learning is observing. Just don't be too obvious about it or you'll creep people out.

Just know that a meme (or infectious concept) is essentially the same as a gene, life form or species. It can replicate, mutate and even die. The same in nature that is (not exactly the same).

>>5468

People fear and would rather take and then propagate- this is a very clear indication seeing as how the flow of memes tend to propagate from the chans into the lower dominions of the internet as facebook, twitter, buzzfeed have shown. It degrades from less normal to more normal and then the i'm special valve kicks in and the less normals drop the meme. The normals then also drop this meme after a while because it has not turned into an original meme. This is where the interesting part kicks in. The majority, and by far the majority of people at this moment have very very clear original memes that will never change. However there are ways to fool the valve. Remember how different valves have different strengths? If one meme satisfies a very strong valve and disagrees with a weaker one, whether partially or fully, it has the possibility of becoming a pseudo-meme. This is where the majority of meme research should be going into, identifying and stereotyping the people of the forums and identifying the valves through various posts that test the limit of the valves. Go from highly radical to weaker and see how and where the limit of the valves end. Then a specific meme with a specific intent can be created which has the possibility of spreading fairly quickly. Format of the memes? Images in which the composition is very very very simple- a simple head shot, circular square shapes, etc and where the image is not focused on the artistic merit but the information that it conveys. However some sort of aesthetic sense must be there. For word memes it is very difficult as to see how they work as I am no master of the such, and perhaps someone more skillful in the art of the language can build on it.

>>461

Exactly right. Most "racists" are aware of their own views on race. Hence the term, race realist.

>>5361

I also think that if you have enough people spouting different and yet similar enough memes, then your meme will be effective. That's why it's important for everyone to be on the same page.

And that's also why I'm in the organic camp because I think that you don't just simply tell a large group of people to be on the same page. It just happens.

>>5551

Agreed, large scale coordination happens incidentally as large portions of anons all arrive to the same conclusion semi-independently (this can be influenced by which information is available for them to look at and how hard and often the information is shoved in their face)
