[1979] Social Influence Mind Control (ONR)
An essay from the Office of Naval Research gives us the key to escaping a Tyrannical Mind-Control System. It looks like it was written as a warning to engage vigilant critical thinking skills so that you don’t become susceptible to mind control and propaganda, but it seems like the “powers that be” used every single tactic described in this research as a baseline playbook for killing societal critical thinking to ensure people DO get manipulated in this very way. There are loads of tips for resisting mind-influence in this great old document, and this is the best explanation I’ve seen so far of how some of us could see through it.
