The best defense is a good understanding of offense. Studying the DNM bible's sections on social engineering, and discussion of that online, is helpful to countering manipulative messaging aimed at yourself. Now that r/DNM is no more, I believe dread would be the best place to find a copy, and discussion of this topic in general.

I would also look into the feminist discourse around gaslighting, because a lot of psyops police use against political marginals like us is through infiltration, including literal romantic relationships and other fuckery, as well as taking advantage of our partners' misogyny, abusive tendencies, problematic aspects, etc. Moreover, the tools of gaslighting and advertising go hand in hand.

Edward Bernays' bibliography is a third good place to start.

You should make the wiki. ^__^

Even with that short content I think that is a good start, later it can be expanded.

I like it so far. Tho instead of "institutional actors" I would change it to authoritarian actors.

I was searching about this and I found the book "Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes" by Jacques Ellul.
