 Posted: Thu, 4th Oct 2012 20:38 Post subject: 10 ways to manipulate the masses (by the media) |
|
 |
something i stumbled upon and figured it would be a nice read for some people here (especially concerning world news, those who always jump to stupid conclusions of their own why what country is doing what etc., blaming the innocents and protecting the perpetrators)
| Quote: | 1. The strategy of distraction
The primary element of social control is the strategy of distraction which is to divert public attention from important issues and changes determined by the political and economic elites, by the technique of flood or flooding continuous distractions and insignificant information. distraction strategy is also essential to prevent the public interest in the essential knowledge in the area of the science, economics, psychology, neurobiology and cybernetics. “Maintaining public attention diverted away from the real social problems, captivated by matters of no real importance. Keep the public busy, busy, busy, no time to think, back to farm and other animals (quote from text Silent Weapons for Quiet War ).”
2. Create problems, then offer solutions
This method is also called “problem -reaction- solution. “It creates a problem, a “situation” referred to cause some reaction in the audience, so this is the principal of the steps that you want to accept. For example: let it unfold and intensify urban violence, or arrange for bloody attacks in order that the public is the applicant‟s security laws and policies to the detriment of freedom. Or: create an economic crisis to accept as a necessary evil retreat of social rights and the dismantling of public services.
3. The gradual strategy
acceptance to an unacceptable degree, just apply it gradually, dropper, for consecutive years. That is how they radically new socioeconomic conditions ( neoliberalism ) were imposed during the 1980s and 1990s: the minimal state, privatization, precariousness, flexibility, massive unemployment, wages, and do not guarantee a decent income, so many changes that have brought about a revolution if they had been applied once.
4. The strategy of deferring
Another way to accept an unpopular decision is to present it as “painful and necessary”, gaining public acceptance, at the time for future application. It is easier to accept that a future sacrifice of immediate slaughter. First, because the effort is not used immediately. Then, because the public, masses, is always the tendency to expect naively that “everything will be better tomorrow” and that the sacrifice required may be avoided. This gives the public more time to get used to the idea of change and accept it with resignation when the time comes.
5. Go to the public as a little child
Most of the advertising to the general public uses speech, argument, people and particularly children‟s intonation, often close to the weakness, as if the viewer were a little child or a mentally deficient. The harder one tries to deceive the viewer look, the more it tends to adopt a tone infantilising. Why? “If one goes to a person as if she had the age of 12 years or less, then, because of suggestion, she tends with a certain probability that a response or reaction also devoid of a critical sense as a person 12 years or younger (see Silent Weapons for Quiet War ).”
6. Use the emotional side more than the reflection
Making use of the emotional aspect is a classic technique for causing a short circuit on rational analysis , and finally to the critical sense of the individual. Furthermore, the use of emotional register to open the door to the unconscious for implantation or grafting ideas , desires, fears and anxieties , compulsions, or induce behaviors …
7. Keep the public in ignorance and mediocrity
Making the public incapable of understanding the technologies and methods used to control and enslavement. “The quality of education given to the lower social classes must be the poor and mediocre as possible so that the gap of ignorance it plans among the lower classes and upper classes is and remains impossible to attain for the lower classes (See „ Silent Weapons for Quiet War ).”
8. To encourage the public to be complacent with mediocrity
Promote the public to believe that the fact is fashionable to be stupid, vulgar and uneducated…
9. Self-blame Strengthen
To let individual blame for their misfortune, because of the failure of their intelligence, their abilities, or their efforts. So, instead of rebelling against the economic system, the individual autodesvalida and guilt, which creates a depression, one of whose effects is to inhibit its action. And, without action, there is no revolution!
10. Getting to know the individuals better than they know themselves
Over the past 50 years, advances of accelerated science has generated a growing gap between public knowledge and those owned and operated by dominant elites. Thanks to biology, neurobiology and applied psychology, the “system” has enjoyed a sophisticated understanding of human beings, both physically and psychologically. The system has gotten better acquainted with the common man more than he knows himself. This means that, in most cases, the system exerts greater control and great power over individuals, greater than that of individuals about themselves.

wait, you are trying to educate someone else? Perhaps you should try educating yourself first. Because having to converse with a wall is just not going to work

i guess we all should look at this thread as a 'reminder' for something that been going on since... well, since there's been intelligence on the earth as far as i would say. the only difference is that its mostly of a secular nature rather then religious. the results are similar though not the same.
as we know from the middle ages it was mostly working and definitly making the lives of many in Europe atleast better then it had evr been. ofcourse at teh cost of other nations and peoples traditional ways. till before the so called world wars. now the very philosophies and applied sciences are decaying and degenerating and in need of fundamental renewal. logically only something from 'outside' this system must enter, otherwise it will become more cruel, unjust and even take on tyrannical like nature as its 'spiritual' predecessors.
and i dont really need to tell anyone that the outside force will always be precieved as a threat (well atleast in the begining) to the way of life that is in need of it as funny as that is. regardless of it being within or not.
FreeWill or FreeThinking...

If by that you mean like Aliens, yes, the idea has occurred to me aswell, just as its been told in the movie Watchmen. It's just not going to happen, thats all, its SciFi.
At Topic: I think that the text written in the first post has some conspiracy theory flavor to it. Its just to easy to use the lable "system". Because "the system" only exists because of such a lable. It does not exist per se. But by calling "the system" you, by yourself, create something that becomes some kind of an overpowered monster unable to be beaten and taking everything in its fangs. The lable "system" makes you feel powerless. And why would you want to feel that way? There is not a group of people sitting behind the scenes, pulling strings, but there are greedy a$$holes sitting in their towers, playing with money and destroying economies (Goldman Sachs f.e.). Those people are there because of an economic system (and yes, here the word is justified) that has gotten out of hand.

But its nothing new Sin...its not a 'media' creation you cant pigeonhole it into a "MASS MEDIA BAD, MEDIA BURN PEOPLE" mentality that only since radio waves and syndicated media this started...read every one of them and think of the middle ages, or hell even Rome, they still apply.
So to me its not so much a "Look what media does now a days" its a "Look what humans have been doing..since, well humans"
Even going so far as to count #10 which 'seems' a modern idea of science to control masses.
Which doctors as far back as we can remember, have been using 'science' to make people think its godly magic.
Rome had many many 'magic' tricks to awe people into thinking it was the gods doing thing. Doors that opened using water power, auto filling communion plates, The flying statue in the church, etc. All just laws of science they learned, and used to wow the peasants into thinking the gods was on their side.

Any system of ANY animals that have a 'rank' system. Where anyone of them have more power, and authority than the others..some will perceive those higher as 'a threat'.
Humans do it by blaming the higher ups for the ignorance of the lowers. To Blame someone else for somone's ignorance, is like Blaming a Lake a man is swimming in, for his thirst. Its no ones fault but that mans that he doesn't take a drink.
To blame media for peoples ignorance, is saying its no fault of their own they didn't seek the knowledge for themselves? I say the blame is on them..
If a man takes the path of least effort to gain understanding (having it hand fed to him by media) Is Like a hungry man taking the path of least effort by eating whatever is the easiest to find, fast food and Cheetos. Both only have themselves to blame for being ignorant, and the other fat and lazy.
I see it the EXACT same way..People go "you cant blame fast food for people being fat, they are the ones going there eating everyday! its their fault, they should make their own healthy food."
So in turn "You cant blame media for being ignorant, they are the one tuning in everyday, they should make their own healthy choices on learning instead of going to the 'drive-thru' of information..the TV"
EDIT:
The BIG difference between my middle ages and rome example..and now. Is NOW all the information is available to anyone that looks. it wasn't back then. So its even more to blame on that person that they are being manipulated, because unlikel back then...anything they want to know can be found easily.

well i didnt mean anything specific at all, it was a general comment. though when i was much younger, it was entertaining as you said 
on topic: as other members have already stated or implied, the media as we call it is only effective in a mostly passive state. our own human experience tells us that only an established power with financial and military support and better understanding and foresight then its rival and the will to apply when necessary can overcome, defeat and alter or even uproot any opposing power. thats how it has always 'played out' in our history, written or not.

That overpowered monster alike is not a modern idea, Thomas Hobbes described it quite accurated, called him the "Leviathan", concluding that, the "system" exists only because we let him exists, by convincing ourselfs that the system is way better than the no-system. he called it a "social - pact", that was fullfilled at some point of history, evolving since then, but remaining at its basis, the same. Hobbes nonetheless, as i remember, didn't asked himself the "for how long" question.
