Actors in Play: The Naïves and the Haters (a dynamic duo of absurdity)
Target: One poor soul who made the mistake of having opinions
Crime: Daring to think for himself (unacceptable!)
Information Needed: Literally anything—facts optional.
Worst-Case Outcome: The poor soul feels ashamed and isolates himself.
Best-Case Outcome: The poor soul is successfully framed as the villain of a story he didn’t sign up for.
The Genius Strategy
It’s simple: Whoever controls the narrative owns the reality. (or something like that—honestly, who cares about correct sayings when you can just make things up?)
And since no one is perfect—not even our poor soul—this is the perfect opportunity to turn normal human flaws into a Shakespearean tragedy.
Step 1: The Magnifying Glass of Doom
✔️ Take every mistake the poor soul has made—or will ever make.
✔️ If not enough mistakes exist, invent a few!
✔️ Blow them up like they’re breaking news on every major network.
✔️ Make sure only his reactions are analyzed, never what caused them in the first place. (Because context? Ew, who needs that?) – Read about Reactive Abuse
Step 2: The Haters’ Telephone Game
The Puppet Master, being the ethical role model that they are, graciously leaks information to the Naïves and Haters, who gleefully spread it without a second thought.
Once the misinformation reaches peak circulation, the Puppet Master delivers the final blow:
“See? This is the one who thinks he’s special. He’s just a piece of garbage.”
Ah yes, the irony—so rich it should be served with a fine wine.
Step 3: The Shame Olympics
It’s time for the pièce de résistance: The Shame Spiral.
✔️ Let’s shame the poor soul for having basic human instincts.
✔️ Let’s ignore that everyone else has them too.
✔️ Let’s hold him to mystical expectations he never even signed up for.
✔️ And best of all, let’s never tell him about these expectations—just assume he should know!
Now, the poor soul could have played along, but instead, he did the unthinkable—he admitted his humanity.
“Yes, I satisfy my needs like any other human. Yes, I’ve made mistakes. Yes, I’ll make more, because every new level comes with new devils.”
And just like that, he ruined the game.
Moral of the Story
Humans make mistakes—it’s inevitable.
You can learn from them the first time, or you can keep repeating them in different outfits until the lesson finally sticks.
