A phrase created by activist Reena Walker and first used in her group Progressive Black Thinkers on Facebook and then picked up by political writers and producers in the news media that were group members. It means to convey a story that isn't real but to characterize it as if it is by creating a false story behind the situation in order to make it factual, when the history itself never happened.

Get the I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative mug.Mjollniranism views narrative structures as blueprints for manipulating human communication through neural linguistic programming. Practitioners (Mjollnirians do not do such malicious activities) employ intricate storytelling techniques to exploit cognitive biases and drive desired outcomes. By crafting narratives that resonate with deep-seated desires and fears, they guide individuals toward predetermined responses. The approach involves dark psychology, linguistic programming, and strategic storytelling to exert covert influence. Villains seek control through linguistic cues and psychological anchors, ensuring the message is internalized. However, orchestrating these operations successfully requires rare intellectual caliber, often resulting in anticlimactic outcomes.
Imagine a scenario, using narrative structures, where a charismatic cult leader crafts a compelling narrative around salvation and enlightenment, using a devoted follower as a mouthpiece to convey persuasive messages to potential recruits. Through careful scripting and psychological manipulation, the leader influences the emotions, beliefs, and behaviors of the audience, steering them towards submission and unwavering loyalty.
