NPCs are not soulless automatons

NPCs are egregore-controlled humans, they still have an independent mind but their mind is enslaved and used as a tool for expressing the egregore mind, like a two-way radio channel.
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egregore
Its possible to disrupt the link to egregore by subversive thought insertion(aka memes), allowing the original mind to assert its will and independent thought. The egregore can't focus on multiple mental challenges simultaneously and the "radio channel" has limited capacity.
NPCs can be reformed to PCs.

Calling him a NPC is a first step. its changing the concept of "being a NPC" to a legitimate part inside the Overton window.
Now that we got the foot in the door, the second step is to expose NPC thought patterns and move the NPC idea to the forefront - forcing to NPC to deny its NPCness and fight on another level where the idea of NPC is acknowledged by both side.
The NPCs spreading the meme is helping regardless of how they apply it, its forcing the public hiveminds to incorporate "NPC" into media narratives, news segments, etc. The familiarity with videogame slang and simple non-political nature of the phrase make it neutral and subversively potent. NPC is simultaneously most dehumanizing and most neutral thing you can say to a NPC:
Its maddening to be coldly and scientifically evaluated as a biological bot and the more NPC engages in the discussion to prove his non-NPCness the more chances he will be trapped in their own web of contradictions,ontological paradoxes/causal loops and circular thinking.
