@RMMoonchild101 Targeted Framing: Tailor the specific medium, timing, and tone of the message to the intended audienceβs psychological baseline, utilizing emotions like fear, pride, and outrage rather than logic.
@RMMoonchild101 Unanimity: Create the illusion of consensus. Present the message as though "everyone" agrees, forcing skeptics to remain silent out of social pressure.
@RMMoonchild101 Inoculation: Mitigate bad news or potential counter-arguments in advance by acknowledging them first, but immediately framing them to diminish their impact.
