The Pleb Slop Standard Chapter 1: Have An Opinion First, Then Find Out Why
Pleb Slop isn't a new technology or phenomenon. Anthropologists believe that it originated around the same time as human language did. Yet today, it is evolving in sophistication as the cost of spewing slop continues to get cheaper. The cost of any good or service should be deflationary thanks to technological advances and today, both the production and consumption of slop has never been easier or less expensive as a result of gizmos like Chat GPT or Grok.
Pleb slop is made up of low effort and high time preference content or narratives that are created for the plebs. The plebs are an underclass of individuals that self identify as retarded and are interested in Bitcoin as a technology, yet lack the self awareness to realize that they are self identifying as retarded. These retards have fallen hook, line and sinker for the PODCONF (Podcast/Conference Industrial Complex) ecosystem which is an industrial complex of pleb slop manufacturing.
Pleb slop is a weapon used to organize the masses. Through the communication of simple ideas that are meant to invoke emotion. Almost all wars have been started as a result of pleb slop.
In this chapter, I will discuss one of the foundations of pleb slop being, "Have an opinion first, then find out why." Understanding the mechanics of pleb slop and how to properly wield it can lead to unparalleled powers. As a leader of a company, being able to mobilize angry cannon fodder and direct it at your opponents could prove invaluable.
Plebs exist everywhere. They are a necessary part of society as they are the cogs in the machine that allow the world to continue to spin. They unwittingly carry out the bidding of others while believing they are sentient, informed, and a part of cause greater than themselves. They chant platitudes, attack others who they see as enemies, and follow marching orders from their clergy. They protect the status quo and cling to the group for safety and security. One of the clearest characteristics of being a pleb is first forming an opinion, before finding evidence for it.
Have an Opinion First, Then Find Out Why
As a consumer or spewer of pleb slop, you do not have to fully understand the ideas or concepts you are communicating. All you have to do is understand the dynamics of the psychology of a pleb. The Pleb wants to feel like they are in control, they want simplicity, easy to digest ideas, and to feel like they are making a difference by taking very little action.
Some characteristics of a pleb:
-Our team vs. their team
-Issuance of contradicting purity tests
-Unable to grasp nuanced and complicated incentive structures
-Oversimplification of complicated ideas
-Easily triggered by very predictable heuristics
They quickly form opinions based on feelings and confirmation bias. Understanding the memes they are consuming to form their world views allows you to issue updates/patches to their firmware if navigated correctly. Pleb Slop is very time sensitive and algorithm based. All you have to do is convince the plebs that you are on their team and trying to further their goals. You associate yourself as one of them, then create a contrast between your group and a perceived enemy.
The spewers will give a statement that has almost no clear meaning whatsoever due to it's vagueness, such as, "This is good for Bitcoin," or, "This is bad for Bitcoin." The statement has no meaning because there is no clear explanation of what is good for Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a very abstract idea and individuals understanding and perspective of it will differ from person to person. But these vague statements make great pleb slop because the pleb will not take the time to understand the lack of sense in the statement. Instead they will just interpret the vague statement as being relevant to them and their interests.
If you are quick enough, you can convince people that different ideas, institutions, and individuals are good or bad for Bitcoin using this strategy. You don't need to understand the slop you are spewing because the people consuming the slop won't understand it anyways. You only need to understand the intended goal of where the slop you are spewing is trying to lead the plebs.
If questioned by someone who is not a pleb, you may find it necessary to try and procure evidence for the ideas presented in your slop. You don't need to try too hard because the pleb will never verify any of the information. Instead they will ask themselves how they feel while consuming the information. You may have already labeled the person questioning you as bad for Bitcoin and convinced the pleb that you are good for Bitcoin. But having some backing evidence, whether accurate or not will help only to defend your status in the eyes of the pleb.
If you are selling them a product, try to make them to feel like they are making a difference. Make sure to price it at a price in which they can easily afford it, roughly around 1 weeks paycheck or less. Create social media campaigns where individuals who support your slop get massive engagement. This will only solidify their idea that they are on the right side of something. Have a clear enemy that you are working against such as an industry incumbent like, Coinbase, Bitmain, the banking system, democrat politicians, Bitcoin Core, Jack Dorsey, etc.
You don't have to do much due diligence around the product you are selling or the industry you are working in because all you need to make the plebs happy is to have something that fits into their purity tests, or can be sold as fitting into their purity tests. Even better, you can be the issuer of the purity tests yourself.
In the world of pleb slop, the purity test issuer benefits from the Pleb Slop Cantillon effect. They can direct the purity tests that plebs amplify and enforce to generate you more money as a company. If there is one thing that a pleb loves above all else, it is to virtue signal. Part of being an insignificant person includes wanting to feel superiority over another. Being able to issue purity tests and give the express directive to enforce them empower the pleb. They bask in their insignificance. They bask in their altruistic moral superiority as they accomplish nothing but funneling you more money by becoming free marketing.
In many ways, individuals who began referring to themselves as plebs were true visionaries. They listened to Bitcoin podcasts, read history books, and became somewhat aware of the direction that the world is heading. They liked to be ruled and demanded that they be ruled. They would swear fealty to their lords if they just spewed the correct slop at them. They wanted to their lords to sound like Bitcoin podcasters and not the cringey old pedophilic ruling class. They would take Rogan or Peter McCormack, but they would under no terms continue to be anything less than grumpy about people like Joe Biden. They wanted people like RFK Jr.
The plebs always get what they want because the pleb slop dealers are capable of convincing the plebs what it is they want. The plebs always get what they want because their desires are simple. The plebs always get what they want because the pleb slop issuers are happy to profit through the endless spewing of slop.
If you are to engage in this economy, as so many people that we know so well do, there is no need to learn anything about a topic before you form an opinion. You can get to that later when it's necessary. Instead, just understand the goal you are trying to accomplish, how plebs are so easily directed and led, and how they want to be directed and led. Understand the incentives, the profits to be made, the podcast interview opportunities you will get, and even better, the potential to cash in on the reputation you built with the plebs.
