I started a new thread called Obamanization.
In the link provided you will find the following :
Emotional Manipulation
According to Cialdini, the majority of the thousands of different
tactics that compliance professionals use fall into six categories,
and each category is based on a psychological principle that directs
human behavior. These six principles are:
1. Consistency. We try to justify our earlier behavior.
2. Reciprocity. If somebody gives us something, we try
to repay in kind.
3. Social Proof. We try to find out what other people
think is correct.
4. Authority. We have a deep-seated sense of duty to
authority figures.
5. Liking. We obey people we like.
6. Scarcity. If we come to want something, we can be
made to fear that if we wait it will be gone. The opportunity
to get it may pass. We want to take it now - whatever is being
offered, from an object to cosmic consciousness.
We can see how transformations occur when the six principles are
skillfully put into play by cult leaders and cultic groups. For
example:
1. Consistency. If you have made a commitment to the group
and then break it, you can be made to feel guilty.
2. Reciprocity. If you accept the group’s food and attention,
you feel you should repay them.
3. Social proof. If you look around in the group, you
will see people behaving in particular ways. You imitate what
you see and assume that such behavior is proper, good, and expected.
4. Authority. If you tend to respect authority, and your
cult leader claims superior knowledge, power, and special missions
in life, you accept him as an authority.
5. Liking. If you are the object of love bombing and
other tactics that surround you, make you feel wanted and loved,
and make you like the people in the group, you feel you ought
to obey these people.
6. Scarcity. If you are told that without the group you
will miss out on living a life without stress; miss out on attaining
cosmic awareness and bliss; miss out on changing the world instantly
or gaining the ability to travel back in time; or miss out on
whatever the group offers that is tailored to seem essential to
you, you will feel you must buy in now.
Isn't it strange how a lot of these patterns are adopted to manipulate the herd?
Enough said. Just call it my compassionate side coming out again.
