He predicts that he will win the election because of his skills at linguistic warfare. He talks about how trump uses memetic concepts to change public favor and will win because of his skill in this.

This is a term, 'wizard,' that has come up a lot in talk around memetic warfare. Where does this terminology come from? Anyone have some recommended reading or links?

Non-academic knowledge is wizardry

From the reformation, when the old lore became heretical, so the witsards and the witches that were the old priests, had to go into hiding.

Z=ts, and the wit in wizard, is also found in witty.

1. It's the lingo of the ones that use memes to change public opinion, and the computer games /fantasy/anime these guys comes from, have wizards at the top.

2. It's narratively impossible to learn wizardry at magic school, so the old craft hierarchy is used. It's still so that a the master carpenters, smiths or artists with the most skills, are deemed wizards, and is said to do magic.

The Devil and his wizards used to play the crowd like a fiddle. Quite a fitting image on very many levels, when you understands everything from the skill involved at both playing and reading the crowd, to the physics explaining the various harmonies between the strings.

A swedish folk tune on the fiddler meme as we would say.

As there are no wizards to learn from, and academia is all theory and offer no knowledge or insight, it's either learning by doing or do nothing.

The same is true for the knowledge we gain, either we develop a language that makes it possible to share knowledge on how you get memes to swing in harmony so the crowd responds as wanted, or we keep silent, because we have no words to describe what you are doing to others, so they understand.

Rather than go to academia for the word hoard, we might coin them ourselves, or do like cuck and wizard, go back in time, find words that fit roughly, and start using them as a metaphor in the way we want the word to be used.

Another benefit of going back in time, is that the words already have a lore connected to them,so we don't have to start from scratch.

Scott Adams himself is most likely a master wizard.

He has some amazing content and a "How to" reading list that should take a level 1 to at least apprentice. I can vouch for many of the books and content. Combined with /bmw/ libraries, it's possible to become a force of nature.

Why would they seek public attention?

Why not take a job in a corporation, government or church, and use the public faces as an extension of yourself? People that works there are rarely aware of why they do stuff, so it's doable to get them to other stuff they are unaware of as well, that together change the rules of the game?

I have read them, and Adams is on to something, but I think he is too pessimistic with the meat computers.

It's true that we are meat computers in areas where we are ignorant, but we are not that stupid when it comes to stuff we experience ourselves.

Our society works by having areas where silence rules, because deviants are punished.

The problem happens when the silenced areas starts to create real world problems, and the powerful can't talk about it, because the messenger is shot, if he points to shortcomings.

You can't solve problems you can't talk about, so if you do manage to break the silence and survive, your message will become very powerful.

Mussolini got to power, not because he built up the fascist Zeitgeist, but because he put himself in front of it, and rode the wave (the tiger) others had created to get power in mafialand, just like Trump is doing in burgerland at the moment.

Not all do. Like you said it's easier to work behind the shadows. But you can find wizards in every day life exhibiting those traits. I've met into two in my life, not Donald tier, but certainly have a reality distortion field around them.

But it wouldn't look like a reality distortion field to them, because it's you that see a part of reality with new eyes, not them, since they just see that they need to explain stuff, so others understand?

The more I read into this, the more concerned I become. His rhetoric is completely empty, his history shows that he has no consistent attachment to his ideals and when he becomes president there is nothing stopping him from using his word wizardry from slickly abandoning his campaign promises and using the presidency for his own gain while destroying our momentum

Scott Adams is considered a middle of the road, liberal-leaning Autist by people on the right.

But when he actually encounters leftists on field he destroys them.

The Danes concentrated on bullying the naive and the brainwashed, rather than shill for some immigrant unfriendly party or politician, so Denmark have come the furthest at stopping white genocide, outside Eastern Europe.

Sweden, Germany and England are learning the lesson of supporting SD, AfD, Ukip, rather that move the Overton window like in Denmark, and if you look at the alt-right supporters of Trump, you'll see them being aware of the lessons from Europe.

Trump is no idiot, so if he really is a wizard, he'll understand that his magic is dependent on the majority opinion being wrong, and that it's forbidden for nomies to point this out.

But isn't the goal in a civil war, to get the enemy to defect, since destroying them creates so much bad blood?

Giving the "enemy" an honorable exit, might also be a wise thing to do, if you intend to get the "enemy" to hate somebody else.

Both cuck and anti-whites are words meant to stop the left-right civil war, and get them to hate the cucks and anti-whites in stead.

There is not need to worry about stuff out of your control, as there will be a cult, that will be fought by multciult.

>we should be directing him, not being directed by him

Everybody else will try that, including his cult and the Multicult, so it's again better to move the Zeitgeist, than to waste time on controlling anybody.

Most of the ones that try to move the Zeitgeist, are doing so the institution they work for can survive, and it has been this way for a very long time.

This mean that:

1. The Zeitgeist is a slow moving stalemate from all the institutionalized shilling in all directions.

2.There haven't really been produced memes meant to empower normal folks for a very long time.

3. The least competition and the biggest payoff, if you want to change where the zeitgeist is going, is to influence the content creators at places like the chans, so they create content with your ideas in them, while they still get the feel and credit for being original.

Moving the zeitgeist is what I'm talking about, that's the whole point of this board

It's not about controlling people directly, but controlling the idea sphere they get their cues from

Also the zeitgesit can be shifted quickly if you can pint out obvious flaws in logic ala cuck which likely had a huge impact on Trump's popularity

I don't disagree, and you probably know this, but cuck was a once in a lifetime opportunity, since it was the anti-whites that had taught polacks about cuck porn with BBC to shame us, and it was moot that made the connection back to Shakespearean cuckoldry well known.

We "just" saw the potential for cuck to be the pro-white version of the anti-racist's hate word racist, if we could add the cuckoo and brood parasitism definition, and get anons to use the word metaphorically as well.

I have monitored the use of cuck since we started insulting polacks for being cucks about a year ago, if they accepted metaphorical cuckoldry, and I have felt it went too slow at times.

I was also seriously worried that they had managed to kill of the cuck insult again, when 4chan filtered it to kek, and it had become a banable offense to use it on other sites. This worry passed, when the cuck meme refused to die, and gook unfiltered it again, but it shows a way memes will have their virality weakened, if they become too unpopular among the important people.

My first point is that as much as I would like to recoin a new word/meme/mental tool like cuck, it can't really be expected to happen often, as there is luck involved.

I'm sure there are other black holes in our vocabulary like the one now filled by cuck, as our vocabulary has been made to benefit institutions more than people, but I don't think there are that many conceptual voids in our vocabulary of the size cuck have filled, where half the population are born to hate what the word describes, and that have that many readymade connections filled with dirty lore.

That we don't know the words that fills the conceptual void we should have used to think with, also kind of makes them hard to recoin, but searching in old books for words and concepts that benefit us if they are brought back, might help.

My second point is that although cuck has been a huge success, it's still taken a year, with years to still to go, until the word is really understood by the older ones in society.

Robert Whitaker created the pro-white and white genocide memes a decade ago, and the first real success came when enough OC's on white genocide had been made for use on twitter, so that pol could have the message of white genocide beaten in, without having to spew the mantra.

Pol didn't really buy into the message either, until cuck was recoined and added to the white genocide memeplex.

It still took both Bella and cukservative going mainstream, before pol saw the light, so only changing the zeitgeist on pol on white genocide and cucks, took well over a year.

Full narrative rewrite memes takes a lot of time, shilling and OC's to implement, even if they are "true", so it might be wiser to work within existing narratives, like the #Rapefugee and #BoycottStarWarsVII . Not only that, it's a lot more fun.

Enough of the ones working for the security state, know just like us, that unless immigration to the USA is drastically reduced, and the anti-white zeitgeist is reversed, then it will be impossible for the USA to win a new cold war.

The white family fathers that make up the security state, know how hard it is to be loyal towards a system, where your grandchildren must be non-white, unless you want to be a hated minority.

It would for instance be hard to avoid more Snowdens, in case of a new cold war, where Russia will make white genocide, and the totalitarian state needed to implement it, into a battlefield for the information war for hearts and minds.

Should the war get hot, there would be even larger problems unless immigration is stopped, as few of the white men needed to win a war where NATO soldiers die èn masse, is willing to die for a cucktry.

I'm not sure that the security state will instigate happenings, so Trump should win, but I'm pretty sure individuals that have information that can damage Trump's enemies, will leak this.

Memes like meme magick, make it easier for leakers to leak, another unmentioned reason that meme magic works for Trump, as leaks that seem to fulfill some memagicking, will get attention and be spread, instead of ignored, from those that want it to happen.

I agree with most all f what you wrote, except that "cuck" tier memes are rare

Indeed I believe they are exactly as common as the areas where the popular narrative has strayed from the truth - and are powerful in relation to how far it has strayed coupled with how reflective of the truth the meme is and how easy it is to understand

"Cuck" targeted a weak point in the ideology, but any ideology built on the denial of truth will have weak points, I think of our job as finding these weak points

We'll just have to see if we manage to coin/recoin other words to become mental tools for social change, to find out if we can beat cuck or not.

I agree that cuck tier memes don't have to be rare measured in social impact , and that they can be constructed, as the words anti-white pro-white show, but I doubt that virality of the cuck meme can be recreated, so that it would involve a lot of shitposting to get anons to use it.

It's easier now, than with anti-white and pro-whites, as anons after the cuck meme, understand the benefit of creating language to win minds.

If we owned the media, it would be different as well, and as that is also happening, things might become simpler for us in the future..

If I understand what you're saying, then yes correct.

It's that a wiz's actions work in 3dimensions where most people observing only see 2d. It's creates a sense of cognitive dissonance in those people who see it since they only understand the 2d, but have to rationalize why their 2d understanding didn't come to pass.

Scott adams blog talks about this a lot.
