12 Ironclad Rules for Mass Propaganda
Mastering Narrative Control
1
Keep it Simple and Repeated
Use simple, easy-to-understand messages and repeat them often. Repetition helps reinforce the message and makes it more likely to be accepted as truth. #KISStheEnemy
2
Emotion Trumps Logic
Appeal to emotions rather than facts. People are more likely to share and engage with content that evokes strong feelings. #FeelingsFirst
3
Use Strong, Provocative Language
Don't be afraid to use inflammatory or controversial language to spark engagement and shareability. #ProvokeToEngage
4
Create a Common Enemy
Unite your audience by giving them a common enemy or cause to rally against. This creates a sense of community and shared purpose. #UsVsThem
5
Control the Message
Ensure your narrative is consistent across all platforms and messages. Any inconsistency can lead to confusion and loss of control over the narrative. #MessageDiscipline
6
Drown Out Dissent
Use tactics like whataboutism, ad hominem attacks, or simply shouting louder to drown out any opposing voices. #NoRoomForDissent
7
Leverage Influencers and Bots
Use influential figures and bot networks to amplify your message and make it seem more prevalent and popular. #InfluencerMarketing
8
Owning the Libs
Tap into existing cultural divisions and position your narrative as a way to "own" or "trigger" the opposition. This can increase engagement and sharing. #OwnTheLibs
9
Create a Sense of Urgency
Make your audience feel like they need to act now or miss out on something important. This can increase engagement and sharing. #ActNow
10
Use Visuals and Memes
People respond well to visual content. Create memorable and shareable visuals and memes to spread your message. #MemesMatter
11
Control the Facts
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. Use half-truths, misinformation, or even disinformation to support your narrative. #TruthIsRelative
12
Divide and Conquer
Exploit and amplify existing divisions within your opposition to weaken their unity and effectiveness. #DivideAndConquer
