The idea that normies and NPCs don't communicate, but instead they "cast spells". As in they just try to find the right combination of words to get you to do what they want?
For instance, they want to shut you up, so they yell "that's bigoted". You might not even be racist in that moment, but it is something they say because they want you to stop talking.
What is the origin on that? I'm trying to share it with a friend. Thanks.
It's important to differentiate between "using passwords" and "casting spells". The latter suggests a degree of sophistication and intent (as well as IQ) that really isn't required for the former. Someone who is "casting spells" is ruthlessly wielding rhetoric (as opposed to dialectic) in order to cynically manipulate people's behavior. In contrast, mindlessly repeating words in order to trigger an automatic system-level response is just "typing in a password".
The best example of the "password" concept is invader immigrants invoking "refugee" or "asylum" status in order to game Western immigration laws. Economic migrants have been coached by leftist NGOs to cry "refugee/asylum" because these are deliberately embedded legal terms - passwords - that effectively bypass our immigration systems. The entire strategy is to say whatever gets them into the country because they know it will take years - if ever - for the law to catch up to them.
And the NGOs know that the refugee/asylum "password" works because fellow leftists in government were the ones who created the loophole in the first place. They're also the ones who made it a legal, logistical, and administrative nightmare to track down and deport anyone here illegally. If crossing the border is as easy as saying one word, and reversing it requires years of expensive work, then the net result will of course be infinite immigration.
When a "magical spell" has been institutionalized by decades of indoctrination, then it can become a password. That's where we're at with accusations of racism. The academics and media who programmed society to view racism as "the ultimate evil and an exclusively white behavior" were designing and casting a complicated spell. The low IQ retards who came next, breathlessly crying racism at every opportunity, are just speaking a password.
You can tell which one is happening mostly by who is doing it but also by reaction to your opposition. If you reject someone who is speaking a password, they will chimp out. Because they can't fathom why or how you are rejecting what they've been programmed to believe is unassailable truth. They are like a monkey who has been conditioned to expect food in exchange for a certain noise and is now being denied food after making that noise. Their only response option is to crash out.
If you circumvent or interrupt a "spell caster", they will reveal themselves to be a conscious and deliberate actor. They may tactically retreat, immediately abandoning their failing argument. They may try a different spell, usually adjacent to the first one but sometimes completely detached. Or they might rapid fire passwords in an attempt to overwhelm you (or deceive third parties). The key difference is the clear presence of a (malevolent) intelligence.
In either case, we're basically talking about rhetoric versus dialectic, about language as purely transactional and coldly manipulative versus language as collaborative exchange moving towards objective truth. In both cases, a lot of people don't realize that their communication methods and goals are entirely different from (and incompatible with) the communication strategies of others. And projecting your own earnest and cooperative communication strategies onto people who are either too stupid or too evil to reciprocate is a recipe for disaster.
The "objective truth" bit is important. When someone rejects the idea of any objective reality whatsoever, then you are dealing with a person who is necessarily incapable of collaborative, cooperative, or good-faith communication. Every word out of his or her mouth will be pure rhetoric aimed only at manipulating others to serve his or her desires. Any good or truth resulting from your exchanges with him or her will be accidental or incidental.
