First draft of my first SCP. Please critique. Do not be gentle.
I like it, but it is very similar to Islamic Samothrace.
Mexico, the United States of America, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
Not France and the 2nd Mexican Empire?

Did an antimeme eat the end of this sentence?
Thanks for the comments. I just remembered Samothrace and I'm facepalming myself.
I'll sleep on it on how to distinguish it.

Maybe some connection to the Mesoamerican underworld, the fifth sun or both. Bonus points if you can link the fifth sun to the fifth church…
Added a little more info, thanks. Let's see if we can make it interesting.
I see the French and the 2nd Mexican Empire still get a pass. Was Mexica in Exile at peace with that government, or are you just omitting them on grounds of historical obscurity?
I added an alliance with Maximillian and the French.
I'll refresh my Nahua mythology to make the correct calls.
Regarding the link to the fifthists, do you think that would be better than the chaos insurgency?

I dunno. I just thought: 5th sun-> 5th church? Maybe there's a connection.
Notably, the discussion of this alleged entity by non carriers, does not cause infection.
How do non-carriers discuss it? I can't talk about a meme I don't know. Are you talking about people who have the meme but are immune to the cognitohazard? Shouldn't they be able to spread it to non-immune individuals anyway?
The way I imagine it, SCP researchers can talk about it, without being infected.
It is only by reading a document by an infection victim that one becomes infected.
Second hand accounts are not infectious. I basically wanted to avoid it being OMGITWILLDRIVEYOUMADIFYOUSEEIT

With the cogitohazardous properties, but not the meme itself? Otherwise it would be weird. I'm probably over-thinking this (I tend to with memetics).
OK, draft 2 is up!
The idea now is that the meme becomes less political and more creepily religious and mystic over time.
Chaos Insurgency is out, Fifthist Church is in.
I dig it.
