El gato malo equates leftist behavior with the manipulative aggressor/victim acts many of us did as kids. From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
the self-indictment inversion
i spoke the other day about the classic rules for neo-radicals and how to manipulate media and perception to make the good guys look like bad guys and bad guys look like heros.
you can read the whole of it HERE but the key takeaway is this:
attack others, provoke a response, then make the story about the response so you can play the victim
once you realize that
- this is not news or protest, it’s theater
- the theater kids have only one move
their whole media posture snaps into focus.
it’s deeply dishonest crybullying where they punch you then accuse you of punching them if you defend yourself.
it worked for a while but it’s losing traction at speed in a modern reputation economy. we’ve all seen the real videos and know what happened.
this is an old game developed in a time when control of media and information was still possible.
once such control is lost, these tactics become self-indictment.
Malcom X had a quote about if you aren’t careful the enemedia will have you labelling the heroes as villains and vice versa.
Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables is how I view enemedia.
