    yes information can be used as a weapon, just like anything, but that depends on the context. a word might be unremarkable in one setting but have profound meaning in another. the projection of power through information is ancient. but if the context is the defining feature for whether something is benign or threatening, having domain dominance is the real weapon.

      If we're gonna talk about using information as a weapon on a platform that's designed to share information, I get that some posts might not make sense in the usual way.

    I legit think the troll farms also are tasked with grabbing any useful info that gets posted in the course of their trolling and passing it up the chain. Getting intel from people in the know trying to disprove egregiously false posts may be a planned part of their operations.

      I wonder what kind of information makes the boss' list. Teh most basic level would be something like "this guy needs to be watched cuz his behavior is unique" but that assumes watching them will advance the troll goals. That may not be true.

      But i guess that's the point about information warfare...it's not really about the info itself but how it impacts behavior.

    This reminds me of something called schizOSINT which is a form of camouflaging.

        Schizophrenia is a mental disorder affecting less than 1% of people worldwide and is characterized by disordered thinking and perception. However, individuals with schizophrenia may possess a unique ability to perceive patterns where others may not, a trait that has been described as "schizophrenic pattern recognition." Open-source intelligence (OSINT) refers to the collection and analysis of information from publicly available sources. OSINT analysts are trained to recognize patterns in data that may not be immediately obvious, making them a natural fit for the schizOSINT approach.
        The schizOSINT approach to encryption relies on encoding information in a way that requires a certain level of understanding and perception to decode. This is achieved by using patterns that may not be immediately obvious to the untrained eye. The patterns used in schizOSINT can be derived from a variety of sources, including language, music, and art. To decode schizOSINT-encoded information, the reader must have a certain level of familiarity with the pattern used.

    The fact that Americans have fought every war since 1899 for the benefit a group of inbred Turkish mutts enough yield to weaponize? If not then no.

    I’m trying to figure out what this thread is or can be about. I guess I’m a sucker for slick marketing because that PSYWAR video was awesome, despite feeling like I’ve been brutalized by psyops both broadly speaking and even in some targeted ways.

    As for information being a weapon, hell yeah. Keep it with you at all times and know how to use it. Kinda reminds me of how my old friend used to talk about his Bible being a sword.

    I’ll stick around this thread and hope it finds a groove

    Information can be weaponized, and it is, but we have different names for that…generally it’s manipulative propaganda but all the misinfo- buzzwords seem to be more popular today.

    But information warfare, intelligence, influence, and espionage are more sophisticated disciplines that should be discussed if they can be contained in a general

      There could be an /IG/ if a thoughtful OP were put together that encouraged discussion, analysis, discipline and a fair dose of American jackassery.

      Anyone want to help compose?

        >Hey Reddit! I've been diving into the fascinating world of Information Warfare (IW) and wanted to spark a conversation about how it's revolutionizing modern conflicts. Unlike cyberwarfare, IW focuses on manipulating decision-making processes without the target's awareness. It's not just about hacking systems; it's about hacking minds.

        >Key IW tactics include spreading propaganda, collecting tactical data, undermining the quality of opponents' information, and denying adversaries opportunities to gather information. It's an invisible battlefield that's hard to detect and is changing the way we view traditional warfare.

        >For those interested in learning more, I highly recommend "Intelligence Collection" by Robert M. Clark. It's a comprehensive resource covering a wide range of intelligence disciplines, with practical examples and clear explanations.

        >As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the significance of Information Warfare continues to grow. Let's discuss the implications of IW on modern conflicts and how we can adapt to this evolving battlefield.

        >What are your thoughts on Information Warfare and its role in shaping the future of conflict? Have you come across any interesting examples of IW in action? Share your insights and let's get this conversation started!

        >TL;DR: Information Warfare manipulates decision-making processes and is revolutionizing modern conflicts. Let's discuss the future of conflict and the role of IW.

    During the Algerian War, The French would arrest National Liberation Front's supporters for a few hours so that people would think they were snitchs. They also used to leave random evidence of a person's collaboration, whether it was by loudly LARPing in village or leaving false documents on dead enemy combatants.
    When the NLF people did a purge afterwards, the French laughed and said they had caught a bad case of "bleuite".
    fun times

      So the French would briefly arrest NLF sympathizers for the purpose of making it look like they were informants, which would make their stories (following release) seem fabricated to the broader community, generally causing insecurity and confusion?

      I’m trying to think of a similar situation in modern life. Like if a pharmaceutical company bought advertising space on Info Wars to hurt Alex. Idk

              America needs a new George Washington…and if modern war is information war then this figure would have to be an exemplary strategist and tactician, gaining trust and understanding of the military and intelligence apparatus before ever being thrust into politics.
