Control the Narrative: What I Learned Working Dash Forces Troll Patrol
I do this thing colloquially called the troll patrol. It mostly involves monitoring social media and forums, identifying instances of people spreading lies and misinformation about Dash, and stepping in to correct the record. The original prospect of the Dash Force was largely to improve Dashs standing and reputation on social media. Frequently, this has involved countering trolls.
Not everyone understands the value of the troll patrol. Thats understandable, since from the outside it all looks like a bunch of petty fighting and arguing with people who wont change their minds. Having been in the trenches for some time, however, I can assure you that theres a lot more going on beneath the surface than meets the eye. To that effect Im going to write a series of articles on what Ive learned from countering trolls for a living, starting with narrative control....

Hey, Valenzuela!
This is a fine theoretical text. Thanks so much for your efforts.
I (hope I) understand Troll Patrol because my background is revolutionist political theory. The Leninist model, for example, favored left uninterrupted for long enough. That is, theyd simply destroy any printing presses/people who disagreed with the party line. Anarchists in the 90s, I recall, used to say, Dont complain about the media. BE the media! During the '98 insurrection in Indonesia, we'd go to absurd lengths to track down information from a range of sources, as we we strove to outflank the seriously-right-wing media-control mechanisms in play.
