When you see speculation that our cognitively-impaired president wears adult diapers and periodically shits himself, or that the White House canine, Major, is a violent animal biting humans over two dozen times without consequence, I want you to consider that what you’re seeing is a psychological operation (psy-op) intended to demoralize you. This operation is known as the BLACK PILL PSY-OP.
If all we had was legacy media doing the demoralizing, this operation wouldn’t be so effective, but it’s much more complicated than that. New media, like blogs and podcasts, have seeped into the void left behind by legacy media’s credibility implosion, and it’s this new media that has given me the most to think about in terms of how Black Pill Thinking is promoted and disseminated by a range of witting to unwitting new media players.
To cover this range I have established a BLACK STAR rating system in order to help others better understand how this operation is functioning. I hope David doesn’t mind.
Before we get to the definitions I want to thank the pearl-clutching podcaster, Billy Ramsey, for inspiring me to create this system in the first place. Here’s an interview and two subsequent posts that give some good background on why I felt this rating system was needed:
Zoom Chron Interview With William Ramsey Plus Some Articles For Your Consideration (February 24th, 2023)
Is The Smiley Face Theory A Distraction To Protect A Sub-Culture? (February 13th, 2024)
Who Is Using The Figurative Accelerator For Chaos? (February 16th, 2024)
Now, without further ado, here’s my BLACK STAR RATING SYSTEM FOR NAVIGATING TOXIC POPULAR CULTURE:
5 BLACK STARS: This rating is due to the source being a seemingly witting promoter of Black Pill Thinking with solid and obvious financial backing combined with influence and reach.
4 BLACK STARS: This rating is due to the source leaning heavily, but possibly unwittingly, toward Black Pill Thinking with less clear financial incentives combined with other opportunistic motives, like gaining influence and traction within a crowded new-media ecosphere.
3 BLACK STARS: This rating is due to the source exhibiting Back Pill Thinking from possible unresolved personal trauma combined with the potential of personal or professional associations acting in “handler” roles (this handler would be a 4 or 5 BS operator).
2 BLACK STARS: This rating is due to the source spreading Black Pill Thinking due to being in a temporary state of early awakening. Unless financial incentives or other factors take the source toward darker designations, the source should remain fairly benign.
1 BLACK STAR: This rating is due to the source openly stating, in public, that a Black Pill Psy-Op exists, combined with offering to regularly self-assess their BS status as factors in the creation of their content change.
I hope this helps provide some guidance for navigating the sources of information that have proliferated since the “pandemic”.
