Thank goodness the Egyptians did overthrow the Ihkwan government. Can you imagine leaving that terror group in charge of Egypt? You’d have a major theater war in the Levant with Israel, and probably in the Horn with Ethiopia.
Man, everything said before 11:40 was mislabelled. Every example used was not subversion at all but the "tools" of subversion i.e., misinformation, disinformation, propaganda - and their influence on the principles of social identity theory, and in/out-group differentiation theory. At 11:40 it is spot on though, "undermining cohesion" is the exact outcome desired from an effective subversion campaign. Further, stop using Jan 6th as an example of subversion (as you define it), the people who demonstrated on Jan 6th, were not disputing the authority of the government, nor were they attempting to undermine it, they were simply demonstrating against what they felt was an unlawful outcome of the election. They still believed in the principles of the Constitution, just not the manner in which the other party won the election. Your premise "weaponization of a narrative" is an excellent example for Jan 6th though. The media redefined the narrative post-event, repeated it constantly for 3 years now, and now even researchers such as yourself have been conditioned (via your schema of the event) to believe something else occurred on that day - other than what actually did. That said, that's not subversion, that's classical disinformation strategy - which is a tool of subversion.
