5th Gen Warfare How Social Media Controls Your Mind

fifth generation warfare, bottom line is here we are, we're sitting in this fifth generation of war, which is the war of perception and the war of narratives. Primarily throughout all these generations of war, there was a psychological operations function, but it was ancillary to the main effort, which was very kinetic or very lethal. Now we're talking in the fifth generation of war is specifically psychological operations has taken the forefront. And it's a way to use for governments, for state actors, non-state actors, to be able to use tactics with inside of a country that degrade a country, that make a country dissolve by using the people against the people, by managing conditions and to make the country degrade. We don't have to drop bombs on people anymore. Now we just have to have access to the populace and make the populace eat themselves. That's what's going on. That's the phase that we're in right now. In the past, in order to conduct some sort of covert action or covert influence, you had to go into the country. You had to co-op some sort of news agency, or you had to co-op some sort of key communicator that would use your messaging to motivate a group or an aggregate to act a certain way, to believe a certain thing in order to recruit them, to do a certain action. Those things don't exist anymore. Access within the PSYOP framework, the first thing you start with accessibility, then you go to susceptibility and you determine vulnerabilities on how to motivate a group. Well, these days you don't have to infiltrate into a country. You don't have to drop leaflets from the sky. You don't have to give someone a hand bill, which is a lot like a flyer. You don't have to do a loudspeaker operation. These things are very conventional within PSYOP. These days, you can do it simply with social media and the internet. Everybody has access to everybody all the time. And whoever's controlling these platforms of media, whether it be traditional media or social media, whoever controls that, they control the message. They control the narrative. This is why some people get censored and some people get very, very big followings. It has to do with this. So within fifth generation warfare, and again, don't take my word for it. Maybe I'm just an idiot. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. But spend your time and go look up irregular warfare, hybrid warfare, unrestricted warfare. They all fit under the umbrella of fifth generation warfare. If you can go research those things on your own and use your own critical thinking skills to determine, does that kind of look like what you see going on around you? Well, then maybe I'm not such a crazy guy. Maybe what I'm talking about is real. And if what I'm talking about is real, then it's very important for us all to recognize what is happening. Because if we can't recognize what's happening, then we can't accept it. If we can't accept it, then we can't change it. And right now, we need to recognize, accept, and change before things get too far down the pike.
