>SOFREP reached out to a veteran of the U.S. Army Psychological Operations (PYSOP), Salil Puri, for his take on the alt-right’s current campaign
When asked other than stirring the pot within specific ‘echo chambers’ of the alt-Right and white nationalists, did Puri see this becoming somewhat of a successful smear campaign against antifa, Puri provided this insight, “In this case, given the transparency of these efforts, the effect will most likely be to simply reinforce existing hostility towards antifa, rather than cultivating any real opposition to what is a genuinely objectionable organization. The 4-Chan alt-righters are excellent trolls, and they gain pleasure from evoking reactions, especially when they’re creating a perception of their opposition as being more extreme and offensive than they actually are, a tactic popularized by [Saul] Alinsky.”
I think it's funny there's all this deep analysis over what some bored anons did one afternoon.

>creating a perception of their opposition as being more extreme and offensive than they actually are, None of this would be possible if antifa types weren't already advocating violence against their enemies. All Sup Forums did was put a face on the faceless "nazi" target.

women are trash, antifa attacks trash cans, ergo antifa is a threat against women

Antifa attack women. Why does it matter if it's domestic or not?

I just wanted to point out that an actual veteran of the PSYOP community called this a "successful smear campaign against antifa"

>cause entire investigations and man hours into desiminating what we've done, hundreds of people on the job of figuring it out and discussing it and writing articles about it.
just furthers my conviction that Sup Forums is secretly one of the most powerful place son earth, entire presidential campaigns have been swayed, which could divert the course of history forever.

Exactly - The author is saying this is a great opportunity to exploit them and their confirmation bias. "Punch a nazi" is edgy to these golem

we've become better at social manipulation than the CIA, without the budget, sadly.
meaning so long as its in our narrow focus of capabilites we can do things that even intelligence agencies cannot do.
I wonder why.. maybe its the fact people on this board are more in tune with the public mentality? it doesn't matter in the end, all that matters are the results, we got Trump elected as our greatest feat.
history might not remember us, but its a victory nonetheless.

I've been here since 04, TOTSE years before that (how I found out about Sup Forums), originally started on TOTSE BBS and other BBS services back in the 90's. Yes, BBS, not websites.

This article basically confirms this. The hive mind is real.
Idk if you know, but SOFREP isn't a pozzed MSM news site. It's a special operations/military news site. They thought this campaign was interesting and a vet in the PSYOP community basically said good job

"make us look bad"
listen to yourself, no one thinks anything good of us, it doesn't matter.
we still win more than we lose with these social manipulation jobs.
there is nothing they can do to us we will do things, purely because they entertain us, and nations will simply have to accept the outcome of our Loki like trickery.
Lucas Jenkins
You guys remember how unbelievably shitty Hillary's paid for trolls were during the election? Those CTR David Brock faggots?
That is the pinnacle of the establishment's psyops. Think about how sad that is. We wrecked those fags as if they sent first graders to fight a guerrilla war against the VietCong.
Just like what happened with ANTIFA, with CTR we had doxxed their entire organization with names, social media accounts, addresses and phone numbers. We had figured out how their entire organization work and how to subvert them. And after awhile of their shills being here, they started releasing insider information before they realized we were right and pro-FREEDOM. We did this all in a matter of days. It's fucking madness when you think about it.

Hilarious thing is that I'd reckon 75% of said "alt-righters" weren't even alt-right until GamerGate blew up.
I remember the old days. It was quite different around these parts. A couple of kikes managed to radicalize an entire generation of autistic gamer geeks just because they felt virtual movies should have less titties and more diversity in them. Hilarious.

weaponized autism is the most powerful force on the planet currently.
we have accomplished things that would cost agencies and police millions of dollars and years and years of work, in a matter of days for free.
the SHIT that was pulled to find Shia Lebouf's fucking Flag (in 24 hours mind you) is something the CIA can't do for actual terrorists in the time we have done it.
we found Terrorist training grounds and reported them to the Russians and had them fucking bomb the area.
we are capable of finding anyone anywhere on earth, and capable of making the right person kill that person.
we have become more efficent than the CIA in 5 years, that took them 50.
Mason Parker
Well, look at it this way. Some of us have been on Sup Forums making maymays for over a fucking decade. Sup Forums almost singlehandedly invented internet culture. Then these fuckheads are coming in with their "pokemon go to the polls" tier memes. They're like little babies, first graders in meme school. We, on the other hand, are pretty close to graduating to meme college. Imagine the difference in intelligence and understanding of the world a 6 year old has compared to a 16 year old. That's what we're dealing with

Not to mention that even when they tried to blend in, they stuck out like a sore thumb because they had no clue how to emulate our "lingo" and talk like us.
Does anyone have the post of the shill getting angry that their subversion tactics don't work here?
Aaron Reyes
Wow. Common sense. If only people were capable of such a feat.
Benjamin Roberts
I feel like they missed the point of the campaign. It's not really satire if they go out and do it, it just provides more evidence for how ridiculous they are.
Mason Ortiz
It's an old joke bit it's an old show.......

See the problem is that it exposes a flaw in their thinking. Why is this deceptive? Only because its a woman? Women can't be nazis? Its only okay to hit men? Women are the same as men but can't get punched? They can't win this one, because they don't have logic on their side
Kevin Lopez
it comes across more as someone who respects our accomplishments and deeply wishes they could join us, but are too ideoligically subverted.
or its undercover one of our own simply causing even more confusion.
Chase Garcia
>I just wanted to point out that an actual veteran of the PSYOP community called this a "successful smear campaign against antifa"
No, he didn't. He said the exact opposite. He said he doesn't think it will be effective. You deliberately misquoted him.
Daniel White
It's deeper. Antifa are our best messaging tool. The ultimate goal in an organic way is to raise up antifa. Lots of antifa, very few nazis, means they will invent their own to punch. We win regardless. Antifa are basically so retarded they started the game in checkmate. Their methods/movement is vain and ineffective in all aspects. All they do is help republicans and the right in America.
Lucas Howard
It's always really funny just how seriously they take everything. There's no masterplan, no mastermind behind it, it's just the logical evolution of the habbo raids from back in the day.
Jayden Jones

I will warn you clowns again! You run the risk of overplaying your hand. The Alt Right has legitimate grievances and have a right to be angry. Having said that, you are going too far on the spectrum. Let me expand on this. The Battle for Europe is different than America. Europe is in real danger of replacement. Therefore, the tactics used in Europe should be different than America. In America, the risk of replacement is at a different level, therefore the tactics here need to be tailored to the situation. For example, the biggest threat to America is Illegal immigration and the immigration system. Our refugee imports are still manageable but still needs to be addressed.
America was formed in a unique way. For example, there are Latinos that are engrained into our country, this is the result of the Texas scenario. Unfortunately we inherited blacks from the shitty British and our leaders in the past fucked us. The only current solution that I can come up with for blacks is to destroy the welfare state and affirmative action. These actions should turn the tide. America has inherent problems that differ from Europe. In closing, Europe should be dealt with in a more aggressive way. America should be treated in a more nuanced way. None the less, I will defend your right to free speech to the hilt. Strategy, Strategy, Strategy!

Holy shit! We're cool as hell. Does Sup Forums know about this?
Jeremiah Hernandez
>creating a perception of their opposition as being more extreme and offensive than they actually are WRONG. Creating the perception that ANTIFA would attack women is COMPLETELY ACCURATE. Antifa also puts women on the front line since their opponents often have morals and values, unlike antifa.
Luke Bell
>muh strategy >muh organization
It's literally all stand alone complex shit. No one influences it more than we influence a river by standing in it. The reason Sup Forums is even popular is because of people who fuck up really bad and ban tits in video games which pisses off millions.
Sup Forums is not an organization pushing for certain things. It's always going to be reactionary by it's nature. Right now the left have entire control of media and take it too far too much, hence reactions.
