On Subversion of a Target Population

COMMUNIST INSURGENCY IN AMERICA

2/5/20262 min read

I'm starting a new series called Communist Insurgency in America.

This project is a running archive of primary-source material such as news articles, social media posts, leaked internal documents, court filings, training guides, and public statements. Together these show the coordinated ideological, political, and sometimes violent effort to fundamentally transform (or overthrow) the United States and the Western democratic order.

There is already an enormous amount of intelligent, well-researched, and often prophetic writing on X, Substack, independent outlets, and elsewhere that never reaches the average person. Much of it is deliberately suppressed, deplatformed, or simply forgotten as the news cycle moves on.

I believe this material deserves to be preserved and organized in one place. I want them presented as close to the original context as possible so that future generations can see, without distortion, what was being said and done in real time during this period.

We are living through something historic. Whether we call it a "long march through the institutions," cultural revolution, or full-spectrum insurgency, the pattern is unmistakable. And the memory-holing is already in full swing.

This series exists to fight that erasure.

If you have stories, screenshots, documents, or threads that belong here, send them. The more we document now, the harder it will be to rewrite later.

"Subversion works by importing an inverted moral frame and getting the target population to install it as its own conscience. The trick is to make the subverted adopt the subverter’s categories as the standards by which they judge themselves. Once that happens, a society aims its moral energy inward, destructively. It treats its own history, institutions, and cohesion as the main problem slated for “repair.” Those installed, inverted values are bad for the target because they dissolve trust and coordination. They are good for the subverter because the target weakens itself all in the name of virtue.

Demoralization is how the frame sticks. Media is a key institution to make this happen because it trains interpretation without announcing that it is training it. It teaches what deserves attention, what deserves contempt, and what questions are allowed. Over time it weakens judgment, then it inverts it. Loyalty becomes pathology. Borders become hate. Order becomes oppression. Skepticism becomes danger. Self defense becomes aggression. Protests become mostly peaceful. In that condition, people stop using information to understand reality and start using it to signal membership. Curiosity becomes socially expensive, so the public just self censors on its own.

Destabilization follows once the inverted frame is installed. You do not need to invent problems. You narrate every failure as proof of illegitimacy and every tradeoff as malice. Institutions that enable coordination start to look like enemy structures, so people treat police, courts, elections, schools, and basic administration as factional weapons. Trust collapses, and compromise starts to read as betrayal. The society becomes runnable on outrage and suspicion, which makes it brittle.

Crisis is when brittleness meets shock. A demoralized, destabilized public does not reach for judgment. It reaches for relief, certainty, and someone to blame. That is the opening. In the panic, measures that would have looked extreme last year start to feel necessary, and a new settlement can be installed as realism. The subverter benefits because the target’s own moral language is now doing the coercive work."
