From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Memetic warfare is a modern form of information warfare and psychological warfare that involves the propagation of memes on social media. While different, memetic warfare shares similarities with traditional propaganda and misinformation tactics, becoming a more common tool used by government institutions and other groups to influence public opinion.
History
The concept of memetics derives from the book "The Selfish Gene" (1976) by Richard Dawkins, being defined as a non-genetic means of transferring information from one individual to another.[1]
Over time, the term "meme" became commonly understood as an image, text, video, or other transferable form of digital information, typically spread for the purpose of humor.[2]
Memetics: A Growth Industry in US Military Operations was published in 2005 by Michael Prosser, now a Lieutenant Colonel in the Marine Corps. He proposed the creation of a 'Meme Warfare Center'.[3]
In Evolutionary Psychology, Memes and the Origin of War (2006), Keith Henson defined memes as "replicating information patterns: ways to do things, learned elements of culture, beliefs, or ideas."
Memetic warfare has been seriously studied as an important concept with respect to information warfare by NATO's Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence. Jeff Giesea, writing in NATO's Stratcom COE Defense Strategic Communications journal, defines memetic warfare as "competition over narrative, ideas, and social control in a social-media battlefield. One might think of it as a subset of 'information operations' tailored to social media. Information operations involve the collection and dissemination of information to establish a competitive advantage over an opponent".[4][5] According to Jacob Siegel, "Memes appear to function like the IEDs of information warfare. They are natural tools of an insurgency; great for blowing things up, but likely to sabotage the desired effects when handled by the larger actor in an asymmetric conflict."[6]
The Taiwanese government and Audrey Tang, its Minister of Digital Affairs, announced their intention to install memetic engineering teams in government to respond to disinformation efforts using a âhumor over rumorâ approach. The stated purpose of this approach is primarily to counter Chinese political warfare efforts and domestic disinformation.[7]
Examples
Russian annexation of Crimea (2014)
Evidence of memetic warfare and other applications of cyber-attacks aiding Russia in their efforts to annex Crimea has been made apparent by reports of roughly 19 million dollars being spent to fund "troll farms" and bot accounts by the Russian government.[8] This campaign intended to spread pro-Russian sentiment on social media platforms, particularly targeting the ethnically Russian populations living within Crimea. This event is widely considered to be Russia's proof of concept for modern information warfare and serves as a template for future instances of memetic warfare.[9]
United States presidential election (2016)
See also: Social media in the 2016 United States presidential election § Donald Trump campaign
Memetic warfare on the part of 4chan and r/The_Donald sub-reddit is widely credited with assisting Donald Trump in winning the election in an event they call 'The Great Meme War'. According to Ben Schreckinger, "a group of anonymous keyboard commandos conquered the internet for Donald Trumpâand plans to deliver Europe to the far right."[10]
In a 2018 study, a team that analyzed a 160M-image dataset discovered that the 4chan message board /pol/ and subreddit r/The_Donald were particularly effective at spreading memes. They found that /pol/ substantially influenced the meme ecosystem by posting a large number of memes, while r/The_Donald was the most efficient community in pushing memes to both fringe and mainstream web communities.[11]
Russia's Invasion of Ukraine (2022)
Russian troll factories, like the Internet Research Agency (IRA) and the Social Design Agency, increased their efforts after the invasion, operating with the Maskirovka (to mask) strategy, a strategy that relies on distorting information in order to manipulate public perception. In response, Ukrainian accounts have started using memes as a way to debunk the Russian narratives. [12]
Ukrainian Twitter accounts like @Ukraine, @DefenceU, and @uamemes-forces would spread the truth about what was happening in Ukraine during the war using memes. It was effective in garnering public sympathy for Ukraine. Makhortykh and Sydorova say that pictures of kids are used to âevoke compassion from the potential audience by using sentimental images." People would additionally put Ukrainian flags in their bios in order to show support. [13]
United States Presidential Election (2024)
Information warfare spread during the 2024 election, with China, Russia, and Iran increasing their support of Trump leading up to the election, using memes as one form of content to spread propaganda and misinformation.[14] Similes during the election in the form of memes were also rampant on Twitter, with one meme claiming Kamala Harris's campaign was like "the erratic movement of a faulty shopping cart."[15]
Memes made using Generative AI were also used from both sides of the election to sway the votes, as either a form of support within their own side or as attacks on the opposing side. [16]
China-linked networks, such as the Spamouflage operation (also known as Dragonbridge or Storm-1376), contributed to these efforts by disseminating AI-generated memes and visual content impersonating American voters, including depictions of urban decay, political chaos, and criticisms of candidates.[17][18]

In fiction, the 2002 game Transhuman Space presented the world of 2100 as having "memetics" as a key technology, and the 2004 expansion "Transhuman Space: Toxic Memes" gave examples of "memetic warfare agents".[19]

Disinformation and misinformation
Core content
Spoofing techniques encompass a variety of methods used to deceive or manipulate systems, identities, or data. Here are some common spoofing techniques:
IP Spoofing: Involves falsifying the source IP address in a network packet to conceal the sender's identity or impersonate another system.
Email Spoofing: Involves forging the sender's email address to make it appear as if the message originated from a different source, often used for phishing attacks.
Caller ID Spoofing: Manipulates the caller ID information displayed on a recipient's phone to appear as if the call is coming from a different number.
Website Spoofing: Involves creating a fake website that mimics a legitimate site to trick users into entering sensitive information such as login credentials.
GPS Spoofing: Manipulates GPS signals to provide false location information, which can be used to mislead navigation systems or track someone's location inaccurately.
DNS Spoofing: Redirects domain name resolution requests to malicious servers, leading users to fake websites or intercepting their communications.
ARP Spoofing: Manipulates the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache to associate a different MAC address with an IP address, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks.
Biometric Spoofing: Involves using fake biometric data, such as fingerprints or facial images, to bypass authentication systems that rely on biometric verification.
These spoofing techniques can be used for malicious purposes, such as identity theft, fraud, or unauthorized access to systems, highlighting the importance of implementing robust security measures to detect and prevent spoofing attacks.
Got itâyouâre asking about the idea of how memes (in the memetics sense: ideas, phrases, symbols) can travel under the radar by being disguised as something else, specifically via anagrams and phonetics. Iâll keep this explanatory and conceptual, not a how-to playbook.
---
Big picture: covert memetic spread
Memes donât have to move as clear, literal messages. They often spread more effectively when they feel incidentalâlike wordplay, jokes, or sounds that just âstick.â Anagrams and phonetics work because they bypass conscious scrutiny and lean on pattern recognition, repetition, and familiarity.
Think of this less as secrecy like espionage, and more as plausible deniability + cognitive stickiness.
---
1. Anagrams as memetic camouflage
Whatâs happening cognitively
An anagram hides a message inside another word or phrase. When someone notices (or half-notices) the hidden structure, it creates:
A tiny âahaâ moment
A sense of cleverness or discovery
Increased memorability
Those emotional hooks make the idea easier to retain and repeatâeven if the person doesnât fully articulate it.
How memes move this way
A neutral or playful phrase contains letters that can rearrange into a loaded or symbolic idea.
People encounter the surface phrase repeatedly.
Some notice the hidden form; others just absorb the repetition.
The hidden association starts to feel natural, not imposed.
Why it feels âsecretâ
Thereâs no explicit statement to argue against.
The carrier phrase is defensible as harmless wordplay.
Meaning emerges socially rather than being declared.
This is why anagrams often show up in puzzles, cult jargon, inside jokes, or artistic movements.
---
2. Phonetics as memetic drift
Whatâs happening cognitively
Phonetic spread relies on sound similarity, not spelling or logic. The brain is very tolerant of sound-alikes, especially in casual speech.
This allows ideas to mutate while still âfeelingâ the same.
Common phonetic mechanisms
Homophones: different meanings, same sound
Near-homophones: close enough to blur together
Mishearings that become normalized
Chants, slogans, or lyrics where rhythm overrides semantics
Over time, the sound carries emotional or social meaning even when the original meaning is forgotten.
Why it slips past defenses
People process sounds faster than semantics
Corrections feel pedantic or unnecessary
âThatâs just how itâs saidâ becomes the justification
This is why catchphrases, mantras, and slogans often work better spoken than written.
---
3. Combining anagram + phonetic effects
When both are used together, you get layered ambiguity:
Written form suggests one thing
Spoken form hints at another
Rearranged form implies a third
Different audiences pick up different layers, which:
Prevents unified resistance
Allows gradual normalization
Encourages reinterpretation rather than rejection
The meme doesnât demand belief; it just hangs around.
---
4. Why this works socially
At a group level, these techniques benefit from:
Repetition without attribution (âpeople just say itâ)
Playfulness (lowers critical filters)
Ambiguity (reduces direct conflict)
Participation (people feel like co-discoverers)
Memes that feel discovered spread more smoothly than ones that feel taught.
---
5. Ethical note (important)
The same mechanisms that make ideas spread subtly can be used for:
Art and humor
Cultural bonding
Language evolution
âŚbut also for manipulation or misinformation.
Understanding how it works is valuable mainly so people can:
Notice when language is steering them
Slow down automatic associations
Ask âwhy does this phrase feel sticky?â
Awareness is the antidote.
---
If you want, I can:
Analyze a real-world example (historical, artistic, or internet culture)
Explain how to detect hidden memetic tricks
Compare this to symbolism, dogwhistles, or subliminal messaging
Just say which direction you want to go.

***These days, supercomputers are constellations of processor blades with super-high-speed interconnect fabrics.
The cost of building supercomputers can be low - Iâve built what could be described as a supercomputer using a bunch of processor boards with 1.6GHz four-core ARM processors and gig-E interconnect. My total cost in is a couple of grand. Going much bigger, I soon discover that my interconnect costs dwarf my CPU costsâŚ
Same is true at larger scale - even if youâre using blades with multiple Xeon processors, your interconnect now needs to be 10 or 100 gig Infiniband, and you soon discover that the couple-grand-per-blade cost on the host adapters gets swallowed in building deep enough Clos fabrics out of switches which donât have nearly enough portsâŚ
Then you get to the real killers - power, and uptime.
Power on supercomputers is a thing, to the point that the most useful measure is now in âteraflops per megawattâ. Power - including HVAC for cooling, power distribution, power backup, etc - is the big soul sucking cost involved in running a supercomputer center.
Uptime, thatâs a thing too - give a very large number of cores (say, oh, I dunno, 100k cores or bigger) and very complex problems, the odds of having a CPU core failure or a memory failure or some other failure that blows out one of the nodes in your computing constellation are nearly guaranteed to mean that you have to deal with that, in real time. So, you canât write software that just naively assumes that everything is fine all the time, and you canât count on the OS to know that things are fine or not because thereâs no âOSâ for the constellation as a whole, just for the individual bladesâŚ***
`If youâre trying to make a supercomputer for your own use, you will find that itâs not too hard, for some definition of âsupercomputerâ. If youâre trying to make one to sell to others? Or to attack nation-state level problems? Thatâs a whole different kettle of fishâŚ*``**
