I haven't read the replies I haven't acknowledged, because I'm trying
   to slow down entering the dissociative state where I post obsessively
   to the list and do nothing else, and accessing the same threads could
   trigger it faster.
   Here is a webcomic outline.  To help with the major motion picture
   being slowly grown from horrifically enslaved countries to bring their
   dead beloved dictators back to life as respected community members with
   badly needed medical care:
   Mind Control Boss, the Webcomic, draft 1
   #1
   panel 1:
   Setting: Boss's office
   Boss: "Somebody mentioned mind control on that mailing list.  Let me
   know when it's cleaned up."
   Cleanup Worker (previously Secretary of State, talking honestly, has
   bloody wires leaving scalp, wears weapons dealer logo on smart looking
   political outfit): "Of course, Boss!  We love you so much for enslaving
   us to your every whim!"
   panel 2:
   Setting: local coffee shop named "Underground Spy and Rebel Network,
   Come One Come All"
   Specialist (now a cleanup worker for Boss): "The Boss told me to clean
   this mailing list up.  I told him to fuck off, that it's out of his
   control."
   Excited Supporter (at a nearby table of torture victims, rescue
   workers, and diplomats): "What list now?"
   State Worker (wears same weapons dealer logo as Secretary of State,
   watching, is at table of rebels with Specialist, in role of "way to
   control and spy on Boss", texting privately on Mobile Phone): [Excited
   Supporter will b worker who rebels.  Can u make sure 2 erase what they
   look up tonight?]
   panel 3:
   Setting: same coffee shop
   Rebel Worker (sitting next to State Worker, wears same shirt, phone
   dings and looks suddenly at State Worker):  "The fuck???" <immediately
   shoots State Worker dead>
   Dead State Worker's Mobile Phone: "Contacting Cleanup.  Thank you for
   using Dictatorsoft."
   Specialist (same one, at table): <while phone alarming about cleanup>,
   "Again????"
   #2
   panel 1: (torture victim, excited supporter, and/or rebel worker visit
   mailing list, assume it is super cool, archive it and spread it
   everywhere)
   panel 2:
   Scene: Former Secretary of State's office
   Cleanup Worker (formerly secretary of state, bloody wires leaving
   neatly combed hair, gesturing at corpse of State Worker, talking to
   Machine Learning Marketer): "Boss can't see well and needs to hear it
   from the horse's mouth, and the horse is dead.  Could you fix up a
   video chat for us where the horse is alive?"
   Machine Learning Marketer (knows nothing about machine learning, is new
   to corporation): "Certainly.  We do that all the time."
   panel 3:
   Scene: Boss's office, with corpse of State Worker present, propped up
   as if still alive.  Boss is in a hospital bed.
   Corpse of State Worker (blurry due to severe issues Boss is having):
   "Boss, I am your loyal servant.  The mailing list has been cleaned up."
   #3
   Scene: Former Secretary of State's Office
   Standing Corpse of State Worker: "I have bad news.  The rebel mailing
   list posts we've been using to share propaganda are predicted to make
   more rebels than propaganda."
   State Worker 2 (hired to replace State Worker after their death, bloody
   wires leaving scalp): "Don't say that!  I might tell the boss!"
   Corpse of State Worker: "Very sorry."
   #4
   Scene: Former Secretary of State's Office
   Standing Corpse of State Worker 2 (microelectronics and brains hanging
   out of scalp, eyes moving wildly and independently of each other):
   "After being brought back from the dead so many times by Machine
   Learning Marketer, Boss can no longer learn new information without
   being killed out of fear of subversion by propaganda.  This doesn't
   seem much like leadership to the workers, so we've kind of
   reinterpreted who the boss really is, and listen instead to their
   "spirit" rather than letting them say anything.  Machine Learning
   Marketer has a computer that can report spirit."
   Machine Learning Marketer has bloody wires leaving their scalp.
   Standing Corpse of State Worker 3 (also has obviously poorly-done bci
   surgery):  "You said you replaced the Boss with a computer simulation?"
   State Worker 2: "Yeah, can you kill me until I do it well enough to say
   straight, for the coffee shop?"
   Machine Learning Marketer: <reaches for their own cellphone and breaks
   it in half.  Takes out a gun and empties it into the lights>. "I think
   the simulation just mind controlled me not to."
   #5
   <we can come up with these forever, and have the next one drafted too,
   but it is too hard to continue for me to write it right now.  it
   involves describing what it is like to communicate things when your
   behavior and medical treatment are augmented by machine learning
   algorithms each made or influenced by a different warring faction
   trying to manipulate you toward their own particular ends.  sorry ran
   out of steam, got triggered too badly in #4>
