Transformative Thought Initiative

The Transformative Thought Initiative is the working title for a postmodernist BBEG faction that is being fluffed out on 8chan. It is currently in the very beginnings of development.

Overview

The Transformative Thought Initiative (TTI) is a shadowy pseudo-spiritual organization which seeks to infiltrate the institutions of a country and steer society towards their vision of 'equality' and 'justice.'

Ideology

"Everyone is equal, but inequal, and some are more equal than others, so we have to strive for equality." - [Name of Leader guy/ slogan]

Setting

The Transformative Thought Initiative is best suited for campaigns set in RL, the near future, or an alternative history setting based in and around the late 20th/early 21st century. The basic ideas can, of course, be modified to suit any campaign in any setting - but they were originally designed for the stated setting and period.

Resources and Tactics

The TTI has direct control over very few actual assets and only a relative handful of personnel. Those that it does control are largely media gurus, spin doctors, and communications experts. Their power comes from their ability to slowly and covertly worm their way into both the public conciousness and the various institutions (public and private) within a community and a nation. Once they establish a foothold within these groups then their resources will serve the TTI. The real strength of the TTI though is their managing the media and popular culture to push "the narrative" the pre-ordained ideological truth that is used to subvert the actions not just of institutions but of individuals as well. Their manipulation of the media, journalism, entertainment and academia allows them to plant their ideas in almost every citizen from a very young age. This provides recruits, backers, and activists for the various institutions that serve the TTI.

The people on the ground, working for or supporting the subverted institutions, have almost certainly not heard of the TTI - indeed they are likely to dismiss it as a farcical "conspiracy theory" if the idea is suggested to them. This allows the TTI to work quietly in the background, and survive even when one or more of its front groups is attacked or otherwise adversely affected.

When the TTI has managed to subvert a nations government, judiciary, police etc. then their resources multiply massively, they are able to use the resources of the state to their own ends - everything from funnelling taxpayer funds into their front groups, to using police to harass, intimidate or arrest their critics or opponents. As the TTI slowly gains power in a country the resources, personnel and assets they have access to will grow and develop until they are all but unstoppable.

Background Information and OP

the following text is from the OP of the original thread:

Postmodernists Should Be The New Ultimate Evil Faction In RPGs

ok /tg/,

I propose a new BBEG faction for modern/future RPGs. NAZIs are a tired trope and it is time to move on to a BBEG faction that is more relevant to today's world. We have entered a new age and we need a new ultimate evil to accompany it. That evil is postmodernism.

In this page we discuss how to turn postmodernists into a RPG BBEG faction.

WTF is Postmodernism and Why Is It Evil?

Postmodernism is the underlying philosophy of SJWs. It is a rejection of the fundamental ideas of the enlightenment. the enlightenment is responsible for all of the awesome things of the modern world like democracy, science, reason, freedom, and humanism. Postmodernists hate all of those things and instead favor their own view of the world:

> Reality doesnt exist

> Truth doesnt exist

> Objectivity doesnt exist

> Reason doesnt exist

> Everything is subjective

> Cynicism

> Nihilism

> Hardcore identity politics

> Language is not tool for communicating the reality and truth of the world (since reality and truth do not exist), it is a weapon to dominate your enemies.

> The law is not a system to promote peace and justice, it is a weapon to attack anyone you hate.

> Technology and science is not a way to improve the lives of all people in the world, it is a the method for one group to destroy and dominate other groups.

> Instead of the individual being the fundamental unit of society, society is made of different race, class, and gender groupisms.

> With no objective reality to find truth and fairness, Life is a constant and never ending battle for dominance between different identity groups.

> Because disagreements can not be resolved with language and reason, the only option is appeal to force.

Postmodernist professors are generally employed in the humanities departments of extreme left universities such as UC Berkley in San Fransisco. Those of you who have been following gamergate probably immediately make the connection, and are well aware of postmodernism's its destructive power.

This Book Is a Good Explanation Of Postmodernism

it is buttfucking 6 hours long and filled with dense jargon. but it explains the philosophy pretty well, the first chapter and the last chapter are the most important. TL;DR - Postmodernism is a bunch of hardcore communists who saw that communism was a god damned failure and therefor were forced to deny reason and empiricism to continue believing in it.
