    As much as I hate to use this term because of the most prominent person associated with it:

    This literally is an infowar, this is an actual psyop.

    Targetted and fairly convincing mis and disinformation deployed at exactly the moment it would generate the most chaos and distrust in your own ability to evaluate reality?

    Yeah. Yeah.

    Thats a psyop, that is what an actual psyop is.

      If they can take something like “woke” and use it to mean something bad, we can take infowars and use it for something good (and correct/accurate). Make that usage of the word the default when people hear it, not the other thing.
