WSB is actively turning into a econ-terrorist group of people who have nothing to lose and willing to spend it all fucking up the markets.

I really think I need to write a book about the three new types of warfare: Information, Culture, and Economic. Some quick definitions:

  • Information warfare is the manipulation of information by various groups to leave a public, either unaware, or aware of things that just are not, methods include pushing speculation as fact, pushing what is opposite as true as true, identifying statements of how things "ought" to be as what "is", not informing of information that contradicts your opinions, and defaming those who do not participate in information control behavior
  • Culture warfare is the manipulation of memetics and the spread of opinion to control public concessive on identity and opinion. methods include, manufacturing memes that can be interpreted to agree with your view, Hijacking cultural communities through secondary cultural traits (think how feminists tried taking over gaming), divide and conquer, getting rid of key cultural 'influencers' through suppression, creation of cultural 'influencers' through promotion.
  • Economic warfare is the manipulation of supply chains in order to promote instability of prevent an opposing force from using economic funds to sway over a populace. Increase human volatility by controlling market volatility. Tactics include Market manipulation using social "opinion". filing SEC complaints over those who use the tactics, but are not you. Economic Fraud. Misallocation of market resources. Force opposing businesses to Bailout to minimize influence. Tariffs.

I like the concept of the book, but WSB first and foremost saw an opportunity to make money and capitalized on it well before it became an ideological war. GME is definitely a shot across the bow at big money who have done more of this and worse, but when they do it it's economic terrorism? I disagree with that concept.

Oh no, this is not economic terrorism, but it will be classified as such, give it a week.

They’re already looking for links between those on /r/wallstreetbets and the crowd at the Capitol on the 6th. And I guarantee if they don’t find some they’ll make them up.

It already is. Bannon had a clip on today from CNBC that called the actions of WSB an attack on the markets.

I’d buy it,

Something like “Unseen Warfare” or something like that

Maybe Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars? Oh wait, that's taken.

Just because I love Deus Ex, could we go with "Invisible War" ?

Sure!

(Side Note: Never played Invisible War, but I did play Deus Ex and Human Revolution)

You'd probably make more off a podcast that featured ads hawking fractional gold shares and natural remedies, etc.

Write the outline for the book, and then write podcast episodes to flesh out the outline, then publish a book from the podcast and give it away to your supporters of a certain level or better.

How about writing essays or a collection of essays? I was thinking about setting something up using people from here as a starting point. Blogs or just a website with articles. Really want to get back into podcasting though. Did it many years ago and hell, I consider 35-50 unique listens on an episode a success. Feel free to PM me if you're interested in any of this.
