Those blattid things

"And then the deceivers realized they could use this revolution in the spread of information to spread lies. And powerful lies---some of their biggest guns. Things like that the truth was not true. That that is just fake news. And they do it by making fake news theselves. Those fucking bastards. Them and their blattid things."

A small group of research teams (human & AI teams) starts to catch on to the blattids' blahness. Their Who tech---and they insist on that being capitalized.
The research teams try to think of ways of combating it. I mean, these researchers are in a defensive posture: They have to fight, and fight defensively because they successfully being attacked and they know it. They know they not only need to find ways to attack, but very quickly. The first they use is this. They work to insert into popular cultures phrases that mention blattids---adn phrases that are used a lot by a lot of people. Swear words, of course. To help try to get humans to notice blattids more, they try to get them to say the blattid name.

Kinda like the opposite of what we used against bears. And hey, I admit there was a time when we had to battle against bears, and I can see somePTSD-addled warrior starting a tidy tradition of not talking about what happened---or even mentioning to "A" word.

I'm thinking, though, of whatever happens---whoever wins----that the humans' ability to combat the Who never gets very far. Like ever. blattids don't go extinct. they never do.
