Dispelling Disinformation tactics
Shilldar development and fine tuning thread.
Before we get down to the list of strategies, the following needs fo be said:
As seen in the fringe insurgency report we are growing stronger, smarter, expanding our reach into each corner of the world and society. They are most afraid of us working together. On that subject:
It's good we have many different movements.
A single uniform one would be easily controled and stopped. But the diversification also means that each person can contribute in their own capacity this way.
You need both soft organizations and you need hit squads
Creating memetics is as invaluable as the person creating irl presence and as the guy who is a soldier and is prepared to fight for the cause.
Sinergy is key.
Methods applied to stop us from achieving that are:
1) CHARACTER ASSASSINATION – (Psychological Warfare – discredit, distract, intimidate, frustrate, divide & conquer) – Disinformation shills (trolls) attack the character of leaders in a movement to discredit them, thus discrediting the movement. A main character assassination tactic is to highlight any negative or perceived flaw of an otherwise reputable person, whether true or false, to discredit him/her in an attempt to invalidate their viewpoint and make it appear baseless, for the sole purpose of detracting focus from the information they are sharing. Trolls often “make stuff up” if they can’t find anything real to highlight for this goal, after all, shills are paid liars. Trolls are hired to make leading or inflammatory comments for the sole purpose of baiting their targets to create a “controversial debate” where none truly exists. They often resort to the “Trojan Horse” tactic to elicit an emotional response from their targets, frustrate, and evoke hostility with the intent of twisting it around to make the person look volatile, a classic “character assassination” tactic to discredit people, making them appear weak and unstable. Trolls frequently provoke people into a heated argument, and sometimes will go so far as to “report” them as being a “threat” to get them kicked off the forum. Another trick these liars are taught to do is to use semantics to twist people’s words around and make it seem as though they’ve lied, to discredit them and works hand in hand with the Straw Man tactic. These are all character assassination attempts that you will easily recognize happening in social media forums once you become familiar with these tactics.
