Seventhism

Seventhism is a strategy to spread and destroy ideology.

Founded in the belief that Politics has replaced religion as a framework to understand the world, create a moral code, and most importantly a sense of community. That one's personal politics don't have to make sense they just need to seem to make sense to the individual and with emotional investment they will defend it regardless of it's flaws.

From that stems fanaticism and a hatred for political opponents, the ideology for one's own isn't really explored and the unification comes from a common enemy who's ideology isn't understood either. Patterns of speech and Slang terms are created initially to define a concept but after over-use it's main purpose is to identify. It also believes that we are in an era of post-truth where nothing can really be known not by some metaphysical argument of "what really is knowledge" but that there is some much bullshit and misinformation to go through that the only truth is one that is convenient and if something doesn't you should just take a redpill and make it fit.

Seventhism seeks to exploit the flaws in this modern perspective of politics by pretending to agree with you but just a little bit differently he is only part of an ideology by name. He creates radicalized splinter groups in a branch of ideology in a direction that he finds favorable to discredit or any other reason. He slowly changes the community behind an ideology's beliefs to get them in place the Seventhist wants them in by pushing and pulling terms by using them in different contexts changing the definition, ascribing different ideas to the enemy, creating fake groups and strawmen to become a new enemy. It sneaks in ideology where before the group wasn't as defined.

It's strategies are reminiscent of Fascism's using Cults of personality, manufacturing Outrage, and making up Out groups

When it wants to spread an ideology that's stigmatized for example Communism. Instead of trying to justify it or correct misinformation (that never works when promoting an ideology) It will take advantage of the fact that people don't really know what Communist theory is. So it will change all identifying language on the theory and replacing it with something he made up basically keeping the Theory as it was. Then he will sell as a totally new and original ideology and slowly spread it to other groups.

When it wants to destroy an ideology it tries to create radical splinter groups. Get them off topic by focusing on non issues, Praising the most idiotic thought leaders in the group, Shifting the slang etc.
