The 15 Rules of Web Disruption | The Big Picture

The 15 Rules of Web Disruption | The Big Picture

1.  Start a partisan divide-and-conquer fight or otherwise push emotional buttons to sew discord and ensure that cooperation is thwarted. 

Iv-B divides V-Bi teams to conquer them, thwarting cooperation with competition. Discord is chaotic.

2.  Pretend it’s hopeless because we’ll be squashed if we try. 

Iv-B survives best by running away from problems because they don't work as a V-Bi team. It's like R gazelles running while Ro buffalo would stand their ground.

3.  Demand complete, fool-proof and guaranteed solutions to the problems being discussed.

With Iv-B deception the information is usually not available for this. There are no real solutions except by moderating them with the I-O police.

 4. Suggest extreme, over-the-top, counter-productive solutions which will hurt more than help, or which are wholly disproportionate to what is being discussed. 

Iv-B is innovative and has no normal center, solutions often then cause booms and busts. They are tactical in nature rather than having a long term stable strategy.

5.  Pretend that alternative media – such as blogs written by the top experts in their fields, without any middleman – are untrustworthy or are motivated solely by money

Many Iv-B blogs are as shown in the book Confessions of a Media Manipulator quotes in some others posts on this blog. 

6.  Coordinate with a couple of others to “shout down” reasonable comments.

Reasonable normal comments are V-Bi team based, Iv-B commenters might use speed creating chaos to sow chaos and deception on the margin.

7.  Use an army of sock puppets. 

These are Iv-B deceptive hiding their real identities. 

8. Censor social media, so that the hardest-hitting information is buried. 

Burying information is an Iv-B tactic, implicit is winning by bluffing and deception.

9. ...the inevitable result - nuclear accidents, financial crises, terrorist attacks or other disasters – were “unforeseeable” and that “no could have known”.

In Iv-B there is so much deception, as in poker, that V-Bi cannot prevent some chaotic collapses and crises.

10. ... any allegations of criminal activity as being a “conspiracy theory”

Iv-B people often don't know what is really going on in highly deceptive situation, hidden criminal roots and branches can be hard to prove without V-Bi transparency.

11. Become incredulous and indignant. 

Use high energy indignation especially if deceptive, talking quickly as short time Iv-B. Focusing on the margin of side issues rather than the average rightness of a story with some errors on the normal curve.

12. Use a straw man. 

This is like in nature where Oy-R animals might use camouflage and imitating other kinds of animals to survive.

13. Hit and Run.

Oy predators like hyena tend to hit but run if facing Ro team resistance. Iv agents also hit and run as salesmen in the I-O market, this is efficient if well policed by I-O.

14. Question motives.

Suggesting a hidden agenda is like expecting other poker players to be bluffing.

15. Associate opponent charges with old news.

Iv-B stories change quickly with high energy, for them the margin is most important rather than the average facts of a story which might be older. With tactical changes in Iv-B older facts might be irrelevant.
