The example of the Ukrainian conflict shows that it is vitally important to separate enemy forces and unite our own. Therefore, the essence of the information war is the split of society.
For these purposes, different means are used. To begin with, responsibility for all actions is shifted to one person and made him the root of evil, and his followers are considered slaves, dogs, servants, and scoundrels. In no case should there be collective responsibility, only personal. For example, if Zelensky is the president in Ukraine, then despite the support of his policy by a third part of the population of Ukraine, it must be said that only he is to blame for everything, and not the Ukrainian people.
It is definitely worth inventing offensive nicknames. It is necessary to pour mud on everyone who supports the enemy’s point of view, but the main one must be blamed for everything.
All these “Svidomyty” and “Maidanites” are faceless. Therefore, no one can be specifically blamed. Therefore, if they are justly accused, such a policy of warfare is ineffective. Man is like an animal. People are cattle, and they demand blood. They want specific guilty ones, and they must be very clearly identified.
The crowd is always in the attention and wants unequivocal answers. The crowd does not want to listen to reasoning. It wants short slogans and answers.
It is necessary to tell people in the enemy camp that one particular person who is pursuing a criminal policy is to blame for all their troubles, and if they get rid of him and begin to act as they should, then everything will be fine with them.
In the enemy camp, people are waiting for the names of the guilty. If you tell them the truth that they are all to blame, then this will not have the desired effect. Therefore, the crowd, simply by definition, cannot be guilty as well as the majority because it always dictates the rules to the minority.
When you talk about the whole nation or some faceless mass, you are waging an ineffective information war. It is always necessary to artificially bring “the whole world into a wedge” on one reason, on one person, despite the fact that, in reality, this is not at all the case.
For example, among the impudent Saxons, Putin and those who support him are to blame for all the troubles – the so-called Putinoids, Kremlin bots, quilted jackets and others. This is effective because it divides Russian society. People are beginning to wonder if it is worth supporting this leader if he is accused of all mortal sins. There is a reaction among the masses, followed by a division of society – some are rolling on scooters through Upper Lars and hiding their eyes when locals with a camera begin to dig “Whose Crimea?”
For the Anglo-Saxons, it does not matter at all that more than 147% of the population supports the policy of Vladimir Putin in Russia. Moreover, Putin in his actions is based on the opinions and wishes of the people, his many voters, because the majority voted for him, since Russia, unlike many countries of the Wild West, is an exemplary democratic country and not some kind of vassal Small Britain, where for the lower human kings and queens are appointed without any popular opinion (he famously turned, right? You understood that here any situation, like a drawbar – where you turned, it went there. Some shove, while others are aware of the British parliament and the legal system, but their little and the version about the cattle, for which kings are appointed, may well be a ride). For propaganda, the main thing is to divide society, so real indicators do not play any role.
Russia is not entirely correct in the fight against Anglo-Saxon propaganda, telling the truth that the junta, Bandera, Maydauns, etc. are to blame for everything. Nobody needs the truth, especially in enemy territory! You cannot blame half or most of the enemy group of people as guilty! It is impossible to unite people on any basis. It is always necessary only to divide the enemy society on any principles. It is always necessary to expose a minority and specific people as guilty, giving the rest of the criminals a good chance to betray in favor of their own interests.
That is, the working scheme is something like this:
- 1) Zelensky and his oligarchs are to blame. The rest of the Ukrainians are not to blame for anything;
- 2) Georgian mercenaries are creatures, but the rest of the Georgians are normal
- 3) whoever is for Biden is a fool, Trump and his supporters are our candidates from the United Russia party!
And so on for each country, its head, and their supporters.
Everything becomes clear if you mentally transfer the entire information war into a real one. One country declares war on another country, and hostilities begin. For soldiers in the trenches who do not live in the best conditions, enemy propaganda says that the head of their country is to blame for this situation. If the head of state decided to defend his country, then he is declared an aggressor, and if his army and society are well brainwashed, then they themselves will kill him.
Blurred slogans about everything good, against everything bad, are constantly being sold to the crowd. This is done so that everyone decides what is good for him and what is bad, and so that later he joins our side and also joins his war. These appeals are the most positive and the most inaccurate. Blurring is needed because specific slogans need to be implemented, which is not always desirable or possible. Democracy, freedom, truth, justice, and so on are examples of the most common concepts of this kind.
For example, the slogans “freedom and democracy.” Each enemy country for you (or rather its regime) should definitely have freedom, and this is not discussed, people should live in democracy. Thus, it turns out that the USA wants to free Russia, and Russia, in turn, wants to free the USA. In a word, mutual love.
It may seem to us that it is impossible to believe in such a scam because there are no fools, but there are ALWAYS fools! In order to resist one force, it is necessary to use another similar force against it. People will accept your point of view anyway if you have more influence on them. A lie told many times becomes the truth, just repeat the point of view you need constantly, and suckers people will undoubtedly believe.
Our world is extremely dependent on the online environment, and sometimes, what happens on the Internet is more important for many than real life. Also, the Internet environment erases the boundaries between peoples and countries, and therefore, people with absolutely the same outlook on life appear in different parts of the world.
In other words, human attitudes can be formed through online content. And if you know how to work with information correctly, you can get the result you need in a given situation. And what kind of result is needed depends only on the person.
