Digital Mob Rule
Ruminations on something that could be coming

The flying saucer has landed. We saw Digital Mob Rule (DMR) rear its ugly head in the US during the 2016 election with Trump’s win aided by the Russians, of course. These remnants seem to be still holding strong with QANon and other tripe still circulating heavily. On the left, we see it in the form of Cancel Culture and Woke. Both forces on the left and right utilize DMR to put people in the streets so DMR also leads to bodies being deployed for whatever group or movement utilizes it.
Russia did influence the 2016 election through the same social and online media platforms and one really can’t blame them. This was soft power at their disposal that they utilized to get something they wanted, which was a Trump presidency. They are deploying these same tactics in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and other areas within their sphere of influence and it is working on certain segments of these populations. Not that Russia has the monopoly on this kind of activity as we saw plenty of it utilized domestically in the US where it continues.
China is also doing it to move their agenda forward at home and within their sphere of influence. The difference is that China is backing it heavily with all those dollars it has in reserve and which it holds over the US Treasury. Their “Belt and Road” initiative is a brilliant masterpiece in which they can subjugate poor countries with big investments and then run after the soft power through DMR.
Russia probably didn’t have it in mind that Trump would bring the US to the brink of a uniquely American version of autocracy and\or authoritarianism. They knew he would be disruptive and was psychologically unbalanced. What they most likely did not know was that a fairly large segment of the US population would be susceptible to becoming jackbooters. Now that they know this, who knows what comes next? Most likely, in 2024 when both Putin and Biden (if he makes it through his entire first-term) are up for re-election. Will Russia’s bot farms and other tools of DMR be powerful enough to influence its domestic election and the one in the US?
Now, what if Putin wins, China stays what it is and somehow Trump or someone like him introduces an American Authoritarianism that is just palpable enough to survive in the US? Do these three major powers then align themselves and coordinate their DMR? The EU and the UK are way too soft to stop it and they along with Australia would be the main defenders against it. But it is highly doubtful that they could beat it.
DMR has worked on a national level at varying degrees of success. The coming competition for true power is how to utilize DMR on a global scale. Most likely, global DMR will not come from democratic republics or democratic socialism. Nor will it come from any minor or marginal actors on the world stage although the seed could be planted there. The source for global DMR will also not be of a spiritual, national or overtly political nature. Economics will be the most likely deployment of global DMR and it will have to have universal appeal. Money appeals to everybody and is the best tactic to win the world.
So, if all three major powers compete than maybe there is hope but if they all collude, well, run for the hills and unplug from the system. One dissenting post could be the end of you in this environment. Yes, this is a very bleak and negative picture and it will not be easy nor will it most likely come quickly. But don’t for a minute think that it’s not possible and it’s not being strategized. Look at all the influencers, content creators and other alleged creative ilk spreading their balderdash across the Internet. People are eating all that stuff up and most of the time, are willing pay for it. If they are willing to pay for it, imagine a global DMR that is free and actually puts cryptocurrency in our digital wallet.
Just as these people are paying for it, they are also buying into all kinds of conspiracies, trends and other propaganda without even bothering to check the sources or the facts. Global DMR is something that can be accomplished with the right message and incentive. Will it result in mass executions like in the last century? The more likely tactic is that if you don’t subscribe, you will be locked out of the medium of exchange. Think about the prophecy of Revelations 13:17 with its mark for buying and selling. This is not positing that we are looking at a Biblical prophecy of any kind, it’s just that the similarity is uncanny. We’re almost there with our cellphones being used for payments already.
This article is meant to bring it to your attention and nothing more. Global DMR is the next great power struggle and it is already underway. Be careful what you read, consume and believe. They’re watching and they have your data. This means they know how to design something that appeals to you and will be able to manipulate a universal message tailored individually for all of us. Big Tech holds the keys and they know it but they will only be able to maintain their own autonomy for so long before selling out for dollar signs. Maybe all those survivalists heading for the offline wilderness are not so crazy after all?
