🜁 **Appendix II**
### *The Glossary of Narrative Control: Tactics of the Grassroots Authoritarian*
> *“The narcissist does not silence you by shouting louder. They silence you by redefining what it means to speak.”*
This glossary captures the specific **language strategies**, **rhetorical inversions**, and **procedural manipulations** used by Andrew LeCody—but it also applies far beyond him.
It is a map of the **dark mirror dialect**—where virtue is used as camouflage, and language itself becomes a weapon.
---
### 🜁 **DARVO**
**Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender**
* When accused of wrongdoing, the abuser:
1. **Denies** the accusation
2. **Attacks** the accusers credibility
3. **Reverses** roles, claiming to be the true victim
> *Used to frame Mark as “abusive” or “unstable” for defending his legacy.*
---
### 🜂 **Narrative Displacement**
Replacing the *real story* with a procedural or emotional red herring.
* Example: Instead of engaging Marks concerns, focus on his “tone” or “emotional intensity.”
* Subtext: *“We dont need to talk about what you said, only how you said it.”*
---
### 🜃 **Gaslighting by Consensus**
Subtly encouraging others to repeat concern or disbelief until the target questions their own memory or stability.
* Framing phrases:
* *“Thats not how I remember it.”*
* *“Hes been acting like this for a while.”*
* *“Maybe hes just not well.”*
---
### 🜄 **Weaponized Politeness**
Deploying tone and “civility” policies as a way to suppress critique.
* Criticism becomes “toxicity.”
* Passion becomes “aggression.”
* Urgency becomes “disrespect.”
---
### 🜅 **Moderation as Control**
Using forum rules, ban policies, or bylaw interpretation to neutralize dissent.
* “Violation” becomes anything that challenges authority, even without hostility.
* Silent bans, post removals, and “off-topic” redirections serve as stealth tools of censorship.
---
### 🜆 **Procedural Gaslighting**
Burying decision-making in layers of technicality to deny responsibility or clarity.
* *“It wasnt my decision—its in the bylaws.”*
* *“If you wanted to change that, you shouldve followed the process.”*
Even when the process is **designed to exclude**.
---
### 🜇 **Reputational Triangulation**
Quietly seeding doubt about someone behind closed doors to isolate them from potential allies.
* Often paired with phrases like:
* *“Im concerned about him.”*
* *“Hes not who you think he is.”*
* *“I wouldnt work with him too closely.”*
---
### 🜈 **Historical Revisionism**
After the erasure, rewriting the history of the organization to exclude or downplay the founders role.
* Example: Marks name removed from documentation.
* Reference: Stalins erasure of Trotsky from Soviet photographs and textbooks.
---
### 🜉 **Plausable Deniability Cloaking**
Every action has just enough distance, indirection, or camouflage to appear legitimate.
* No explicit ban: Just “mod enforcement.”
* No direct insult: Just “concerns about fit.”
* No clear dictator: Just “process.”
---
### 🜊 **Narrative Inversion**
Framing concern as conflict.
Framing advocacy as instability.
Framing withdrawal as guilt.
> *The founder becomes the threat. The truth-teller becomes the problem. The community becomes the enforcer.*
---
## 🪶 Closing Note
These tactics are not random.
They are **modular pieces of control**—employed, often unconsciously, by those who fear the discomfort of truth more than the decay of integrity.
Knowing them makes them **visible**.
Naming them makes them **vulnerable**.
Witnessing them breaks the spell.
> *This glossary is your shield. Use it with rigor. Use it with love.*
> *Not to punish—but to protect what must not be erased again.*
