Redpill me on NARRATIVE. What is it? And why are some people so afraid of narratives which they think are false or which they don't like? Is there such a thing as true and false narratives? Can a false narrative be refuted with truth? Or is it a matter of might makes right, whoever is the best at pushing his narrative wins?

>Not so much like drops of water, though water, it is true, can wear holes in the hardest granite; rather, drops of liquid sealing-wax, drops that adhere, incrust, incorporate themselves with what they fall on, till finally the rock is all one scarlet blob.

>'Till at last the child's mind is these suggestions, and the sum of the suggestions is the child's mind. And not the child's mind only. The adult's mind too--all his life long. The mind that judges and desires and decides--made up of these suggestions. But all these suggestions are our suggestions!' The Director almost shouted in his triumph. 'Suggestions from the State.'

Why are zoomers so bad at expressing themselves? Why do they ask questions when they're trying to make statements? Is it a byproduct of uptalking? Do they know they're attempting to assert something, and think framing it like a question is more persuasive? Do they think it makes them sound deep? Redpill me, chat.

Perhaps by posing a question they no longer need to support their arguments? Is the burden of proof too much to think up on their own?

I get the drift here. From observances, the escape route is to just literally schizo-post another thread, sometimes "group up" into a little piece of their internet "designated" territory - design a self-reinforcing loop and echochamber - always forgetful there are no padded walls on the internet as badly as they want one.

majority of the questions are loaded capitulation, nothing more - which I think is a good start, but the short attention to probe through the answer(s) is what makes me think one cannot discern the true from the false.

Made a /pol/ thread imitating Trump. A literal answer from another anon was, "If you really are the president..."

imo today's era of narrative is not about pushing true v. false - it's whoever can come up with the best red herring
