A fail-proof plan to sabotage a movement or philosophy.
1. Know your enemy's weakness. This may be discerned by what they perceive themselves to need. Find the desire that is not being met, because this will be your hinge point. The most effective desires to capitalize upon are those that stem from personal insecurity- the desire for attention, belonging, purpose and validation. It is wise to avoid focusing on obvious derangements this early in the game, as your central pawns must retain a reasonable level of credibility for the strategy to be effective.
2. Know your enemy's philosophy. It is far easier to attack a person from within their own belief system than to present yourself as an overt opposition. Particularly, understand the mimetic language of the philosophy- the symbols and jargon that repeat, reinforce and define the overall belief system, as this language will be your primary tool. It is also advisable to have a grasp of which parts of the archetypal consciousness are most stimulated by a particular belief- the points where the roots converge.
3. Offer your enemy what they need, clothed in the jargon of their philosophy. Let us use the example of a sensitive, spiritual individual who feels alienated within the confines of a cold, capitalist society. You need not even provide them with real inclusion, merely the idea of belonging. Offer them a construct of special status. Convince them that their alienation is a quality of rarity and specialness, beholden to some greater purpose, and that others of their kind are waiting to welcome them. Be sure to utilize their own jargon. Angels, aliens and mythological races are all good places to start- you've got nearly endless choices, depending on the individual's personal biases, so long as they feel built up and empowered by the sating of their desire.
In some cases it is more efficacious to offer the person a concept to follow. Someone who feels oppressed due to a particular difference will almost effortlessly identify with those willing to show them empathy. They will be far more likely to follow orders that go against their own internal understandings if they believe it is within the context of the cause they find to be important. In this case you are creating a veritable political army instead of a spiritual cult, but the end result is the same- the enslavement of the individual to their own ideals.
Once you have monopolized the fulfillment of their core desires, you control the pleasure centers in their brain.
4. Once your manipulation of the individual's desires has been firmly established, and they lean upon your ideals for personal happiness, provide that happiness with what seems to be an all-consuming threat. At this point, the individual should be so dependent on the seed you planted that any threat to the seed idea is seen as a threat to their personal happiness- a denial of the drug you've made them addicted to. If you have formed a spiritual cult, create a demonic entity whose singular goal is the oppression of the cult. If you've created a political or social movement, raise up a puppet of opposing ideals so stereotypical and ignorant that their very existence will be gazed upon in horror. If the individual's focus is wider or more generalized, create a conspiracy theory and circulate it rabidly. It is especially useful if the enemy of one victim can be made into the savior of another, in which case the opposing factions (both manipulated by your hand) can be pitted against each other with almost no effort at all.
5. Capitalize on the irrationality created by fear. Social media is your best friend at this stage, as it is one of the most effective mediums for circulating mimetic ideas- exclamations of facetious derision repeated until they become a part of the collective unconscious. The goal is to get your target to act perpetually out of a knee-jerk perspective, due to feeling perpetually threatened. It is easy to fan the flames of anger, division and misunderstanding when the victim believes everything is on the line. If successful, the target will become triggered at any mention of the topic of interest and respond on a near-subconscious level that exceeds logic and empathy. These types of responses can easily be guided in any direction you please, so long as you are capable of maintaining the appearance of the trusted confidant to the individual in question.
6. When the individual's original ideals have been completely inverted- when unity has turned to division, compassion to anger, humbleness to elitism, reveal the individual's/the movement's hypocrisy to the entire world with all ruthlessness. Now is the time to draw attention to and exaggerate any eccentricities or derangements your target possesses. Abandon all support and pull the rug out from under everything you've built up within them; at this point they will be unable to stand on their own. You need only do this to a few key individuals within any given group, though managing to circulate the effect widely is all the more powerful. At this point the individual/group will collapse in on themselves, reflexively clinging to their broken ideals in an attempt to plug the hole you have ripped in their perspective, reacting in defensive anger to any challenge and utterly destroying any and all credibility. In this way you will have entirely hijacked one cause and turned it into another, and those who would once have opposed the ways of fear and control have unwittingly become your soldiers. Those who fight the hardest for change become its staunchest preventors.
