Decentralization might be a right direction, but it should not be just about crypto. For example, crypto could hardly be the main tool to solve the problems below.
I will try to have each of my asylum daily entry consist two parts.
1. Something else that should make better content, mostly very gloom.
2. My asylum daily of some seemingly trivial matters. I hope it will either persist or prove useless.
Methods that are employed by authoritarian
A checklist without description. Descriptions will be written below.
It is not a worry of the falling sky. It is upon us way before we realize.
You might also be aware of these already, there are probably many more but at least this can be a reminder or basic checklist.
Basically you can expect maliciousness from anyone, for everyone could be corrupted, not necessarily by money. But some traditionally highly respected professions might worth mentioning, e.g. (fake or real): teachers, doctors, social workers, government staff, police, lawyers, judges, last but not least, reporters.
Instead of thinking people won't be so moralless, you better expect them t\
o feel professional and powerful.
Monopolizing power
1. Weapon, firearms
(self explained)
2. Law and Rights
(ever experienced crime but found records such as CCTV records inaccessible?)
3. Media
(This one is huge, it is not just fake information, it is not even just selected information for you. Sometimes it just needs to show up on your screen.
Also, neutralize criticism with “different viewing points” and rewrite history posteriorly.)
4. Surveillance
(Your digital devices, social platforms, people that reasonably appear in your daily life and CCTV. And then there are hidden cameras which already are gross, but what if some things of military grade are also used? Yes, against you and I, the common people.
Tactics and narratives are also formed with the help of the constant surveillance.)
5. Facilities
(Medical facilities, entertainment, education, you name it.)
6. Social support
(Both emotional and material.)
7. Life necessities
(import and export restriction. “Instructing” or commanding merchants.)
Social Engineering
1. Direct
(personal data, not just for direct attacks but also to set up further data extraction and, literally, to set you up.)
2. Indirect
(fake: friendship, romance (love), sex (lust), family and others, e.g.: kids, animals
Repeat by changing people (I am serious) when fail. “You cannot hate the whole world because the last person was bad, can you?”)
3. Status: career, wealth and power
(opportunity and convenience)
4. Social pressure
(e.g.: conformity and peer sanctioning)
Psychological Warfare (mostly self explained)
1. Infiltrating the mass
1a. Sway the direction or decision
1b. Stir up discord
1c. Spread fears
1d. Wear down spirit and trust with fake information
2. Dominating the media
2a. Isolate people from different places
2b. Induce hesitation
(by controlling narrative of who is lawful and/or morally correct)
2c. Crushing faith of prospective support
Double standard
1. Moral
2. Law
(not the subconscious but the calculated ones. Intentionally support and advocate but consider one self above some norms)
Exploit good natures (self explained)
1. Exploit kindness
2. Exploit the senses of honour and duty
3. Exploit bonds between people
Asylum Daily #6
10 Sep, 2022
Today’s Lithuanian language lesson was used to talk about the history and various things of Lithuania, along with other random topics.
We were told about thirteen Lithuanian died when they went to defend their buildings that were used by their council back then. It has me once again think about if we had done enough in our struggle.
Two African joined during the latter half of the class. Their English was fluent and fast, I struggled to follow.
I was kind of surprised when one of them asked me what we did when the pandemic came after asking which country I came from. I told him about stocking food, masks
and toilet paper. Apparently we are not the only ones that would laugh about hording toilet paper. I was glad that at least I could say that we were not the only ones, nor the first that stocked toilet paper. Embarrassing nonetheless.
Another topic I wasn't quite sure how it came up, but the teacher also mentioned something about psychology. One of the statements was that, if one worries having people behind him/her, it is medical condition.
The three women that told me to go to the psychologist yesterday was in the hallway when we came out from the classroom talking to the guard at the counter. Someone stayed behind overtook me and stopped to listen when I wanted to pass. But it was nothing, he moved to let me pass a few seconds after I stepped aside and waited.
Shortly after returned to my room, the three women came with the guard and told us to remove the clothes from the windows. Happened it was the guard who didn’t speak English this time (yesterday, it was a guard (another one) came to asked what the matter was and told me it was just an offer (to visit the psychologist) after talking to the women.) and one of the women told us to remove the clothes we put on the grille in simple English.
Seems that I have written a lot about today’s seemingly meaningless trivial matters. There are more actually, almost everyday. But I hope it will do for today.
