The Narrative

If you control the narrative you control the world, maaan 🚬😤
Hym "WRONG! Wrong idiot. You can't JUST control the narrative. You would need to control the narrative AND all propositional counter-narratives. And then you would need a unifying principle. Like some kind of mutual sadomasochistic ethic to tie the whole thing together. Like a binary religious system where one part believes that being the one who makes the rules isn't arbitrary and that they alone deserve it as a sort of birthright and the other would have to believe that suffering is sacrosanct and that endless toil performed unthinkingly is virtuous and that trying to get away with not working hard is sinful. That's how you control the world. Then you can just say words that don't mean anything all day while doing whatever you want in private because you're a god and the law of non-contradiction is something you can exempt yourself from. No one will be able to question you (without paying you) because the system will be predicated on ETHOS. Which means you can always reserve the right to arbitrarily discredit anyone you want and then no one will have have to listen to their LOGOS.... Parish the thought... Good thing that will never happen...."

Meta-narrative

And it isn't 3 note.
Hym "No. Shithead. There is an entire anime dedicated to the multiplicity of meta-narrative that can be derived from this. What the actual fuck are you talking about? Do you know it's name? It's coming out with a 3rd season. There are literally dozens of meta-narrative in here. It's a literal masterpiece by all relevant metrics."

False Narrative

Nebulous rhetoric that is functionally equivalent to ✌️✊️✌️Hate Speech✌️✊️✌️ i.e. Hate Speech for conservatives. They are just making up equally vapid terms now. Like... It's fucking embarrassing. Our politicians and pundits are embarrassing fucking time-wasters. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Hym "False narrative is a pretty nebulous term and is subject to the same problem created by the term 'Hate Speech.' Like, it isn't a 'False narrative' to say that your religion is an incest cult. That is an ontological claim that is concordant with objective reality. So, there is what IS ACTUALLY THE CASE... And then there is THE NARRATIVE YOU HAVE CONSTRUCTED AROUND WHAT IS ACTUALLY THE CASE... And that narrative can be more or less concordant with objective reality but... The light is either on or it's off. You can make a narrative about lights being on or how lights are turned on but it doesn't affect the on/off paradigm. And this is why it's important to reject the narrativization of everything. It isn't ✌️✊️✌️a narrative✌️✊️✌️ it's what actually occurred or is occurring. Jordan Peterson has sold them on the idea (ha! I accidentally wrote idiot instead of idea because... You know, idiot) that everything is a narrative. Everything is NOT a narrative. The light is on. The light is off. These are not narratives."

fuck up my narrative

To deliver facts that hurt my comfortable little bubble of idiocy.
Mike: I wish Republicans had at least the minimal level of respect for women and people of color...
Jen: Republicans picked up 10 seats in the House in the 2020 election. Most were women and people of color.
Mike: Don't fuck up my narrative!

Control the narrative

They filed a police report first in order to control the narrative

That's not what is actually happening though.
Hym "It isn't a victim vs victimizer narrative. That is clearly not what's happening here. It's NARRATIVE vs WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. It's not even epistemology vs ontology anymore. It's Jordan Peterson's imaginary interpretation of events vs the things that actually happened in reality."
