First, you must actually establish A Procedure. Or you could take over existing workable procedures once you get to power.

While we speak, there are probably low level functionaries writing draft legislation on 'Combatting Online Extremism'

Again, you get to see the sausage made in real time. But only a few of you - those of you extremely online! Try explaining to normies how this workspic.twitter.com/IlYi6rz8BZ

So now you have an idea of how Manipulating Procedural Outcomes actually works today. The problem is that this manipulation itself is now transparent to us punks - 4channers, Gamergate, Pepe enthusiasts etc.

So the Procedure is being Manipulated to stop us from noticing and throwing wrenches in the manipulation of other Procedures!

This also gives us another window into why conservatives are Eternal Losers. If you want to preserve The Procedure, you have to FIGHT LIKE HELL when you see it being manipulated! You cannot restore a Procedure USING the Procedure, or at least the normal, everyday stipulations

To Restore the Procedure as it was intended to function, requires offensive action possibly outside the scope of the Procedure or at least on the fringes of it. This is what lumpen right-wingers mean when they say 'Conservatives Dont Fight!'

However, I'm far more cynical than this. In my view (and possibly Moldbug's), The Procedure was always meant to be Manipulated in this way. If any Procedure is unhackable, it is to be removed by the cathedral, as unworkable.

that's how bogus nonsense achieves "legitimacy" to most normies, look up the dilbert episode about chronic cubicle syndrome, its the exact same process- get enough outlets that have "legitimacy" conferred on them to report something and NPCs will believe in unquestionably.
-
Yeah, once you confer 'legitimacy,' you move on to the rest of The Procedure. The faux 'debate,' the pre-formed legislation/corporate policy etc, and anyone who wants to actually debate such actions has now conferred upon himself the 'illegitimate' title.

like how Kav being labelled a rapist is a foregone conclusion to the mainstream media, any deviation from it follows a set of procedures designed to demonize the position, it might not work in this case because even normies see its a nothingburger, but still.

Yes I believe the salient fact of the Current Year (+4) is the exceeding transparency of The Manipulation. Sure, most of the everyday manipulation that happens while governing a nation of 300 million is not visible to us, but the public aspects are increasingly so.

I think Moldbug said something like 'if the cathedral were working as designed, this blog wouldn't exist' or something
