Repeat and Lead

So essentially, repeat it a hundred times over and more and people will believe? 

Yeah, it’s dumb but it works especially coming from a loved one.

 Do the experiment, pick one of your favorite friends or family member, someone you chat with every day.

 and every day , text them or talk to them using a particular unique word , or phrase , like instead of saying the F bomb , say fish instead , say it more and more each time , and one day they might use it , it could work out if the word is aesthetic enough , no joke. 

For example I used to never use the two eyes emoji’s but because a friend of mine kept using them , I liked it and used them .

 I once influenced someone else, with saying “yesssir” here and there and he said it later on! (Didn’t do it on purpose). 

So essentially, this is how a good political lie could work , it needs to be simple , it needs to be direct , and it definitely needs to be aesthetic , in other words , funny to say , unique to say , or just sounding good in the language that you are saying it

. Saying apple, is nicer then saying Samsung isn’t it? people that you love and that love you , or even like you , could start doing things that you usually do , with words or how they act or what they start like , this is because Humans as much as they like to be unique , and not being “Normal” , they would love to have someone unique that acts like them. 

Because even if opposites attract, and they do perhaps, they wouldn’t work as good as people close to one another when it comes in doing things or thinking the same. 

So basically we like people that are like us .. Same thing in a friend group, who doesn’t love inside jokes? Same thing in a family, who doesn’t like commonly funny shared moments? , same thing for the street that you live in , who doesn’t like to see friendly faces? , same thing for a region, a state, a nation , where you can remember , sing , love , live , fight , die , kill , torture , for them. (that escalated). 

You see where this is going. If you want to manipulate a person , start from ground up , infect the families and schools.

 Look at Lebanon, so many different point of views, I understood , that this country is not united , and it had various different views. The thing is, the past of the Lebanese people has many different forms , depending on what your family and friends think and what community they are in (doesn’t have to be always religious there are people who are atheists , or even sectarian , or foreigners that live in Lebanon) . all of this will influence you.

 we do not have one united history book , and thus lies can be repeated anytime , anywhere , it doesn’t even have to come from the leaders anymore , because any Lebanese person , that lived in Lebanon most of his life would be able to tell you how the civil war started even if he never did any research , nor are a historian. (Not saying that their opinions don’t have any value , but an expert historian on the matter would have more if we compare the two). 

So repetitions of lies can form a truth , not everyone can look at every piece of information and research on it , and this is a danger , this is why medias today need to remember that they have to seek truth , not opinions. Serious fact checking today is essential. Lies are easy to believe , especially if there is truth to them.
