[Adaskoism] A How-to to ePropaganda
Adasko
I do know that this article should be written by Augustus Baldwin, but I guess he just doesn't feel like telling us his trade secrets. Either way, this short guide (more of a guide then my previous counterflamers) will show you how you can write your own propaganda article in less then 15 minutes.
The Title
Make sure the title is aggressive, preferably using one of the following words:
hostile
PEACE
fail
separatists
regime
TO/take over attempt
For example, Rainer N's latest article, Hostile take over of the CNC.
That sounds so scary... I mean it's just asking to look inside and see an announcement of a Hungarian running for Party President! Pretty simple. Get them aggressive, and get them interested!
The Picture
The Picture is probably the only really constructive thing in a propaganda article (excluding any text over it). Usually it's a demotivating poster, or a lolcats (with lousy erep reffering photoshop) type of thing. Once again, from Rainer's wonderful world (and I think to myself...) erm... article, a prime example:
Is this suggesting that Jacobi likes cats (or rabbits o.O) a bit too much?
(Or you can always be like AB just add monster all over Dominik's old avatar)
MONSTER!
The Core
Now here's the hard part, as We distinguish two types of ePropaganda articles, the one with more pictures, and the ones mainly based on nonsense... Text, I mean text! The picture driven ones are a method AB often uses, just check his articles out, even that anti-Iran propaganda (and anti-me propaganda ofc.) Then on the other hand, We have those extremely intelligent, text driven, intelligent articles. (Irony anyone?) Either way, how to make the core look cool, once again from the Rainer N article:
"In total, Jacobi has made OVER 50 unwavering references to the CPP in past articles."
Capslock/shift, because sometimes bold is not enough
The first thing is exposing numbers, if not emphasizing on them. Make sure everybody gets your point, e.g.
IT'S OVER NINE-THOUSAND!!!!!
Of course such actions may lead to establishing a causal link, but you cannot permit that. Your primary goal as a propagandist is to ensure that the people won't see the cause and effect.
Furthermore, if you plan to use quotes of your target, make sure they are out of context. Never give context (you can link it, but make sure it's not clickable, so nobody would want to waste his time with copying and pasting), furthermore always write as if the quotes are, preferably, just up. Make the people think, that they are the freshest opinion of your opponent.
"So what is to be made of all this? Well, it is certainly obvious that Jacobi, no matter what he says, has and will (in my opinion) always remain strongly loyal to the CPP as he has for the roughly 8 months of his eLife ... prior to one week ago of course. The only conclusion I can draw from this sudden political change by Jacobi is that he wishes to control the CNC and influence it in the direction he wishes."
When drawing conclusions from your skillful resource gathering, you must ensure, that you use strong words like:
obvious
no matter what he says
the only
threat
evil
et cetera.
If you want to make the article look smart, just add "(in my opinion)". People will actually think you are exceptionally intelligent for understanding the different points of view.
"WHAT TO EXPECT
Jacobi will say;
1) That the reason he wishes to take over the CNC is because the CNC did not get enough congress seats. He will say this is my fault.
2) He payed for the formation of the CNC originally therefore deserves the Party President position.
3) The CNC has a problem with its platform. "
Always make sure to put words into your targets mouth, otherwise, you are just wasting your time with the article. It is essential that you don't let the person involved speak for himself, as it just ruins all the fun. (By the way, notice the style used here: "Jacobi WILL", not even probably o.O) Then of course you can do anything you want with it, just proving your opponent to be a worthless jackass, to the uneducated masses.
Furthermore if this is an electoral article, make sure to add a definitely arrogant suggestion, that you are by every means better than your opponent.
The Comments
The article doesn't really end with the summary, which usually is a short "Love yah, bye", it really ends in the comments, where you have to unleash your friends to go crazzeh. Make sure they support you, say you are write send you pure love and handle the people who disagree with you.
This is actually all you need to make an ePropaganda article!
Comments
PEACE PROPAGANDA!
~hyuu~
PEACE PROPAGANDA!
Panda RAWR!
lol @ the picture of dominik. nostalgia ftw!
Why are people from DAL and CPP getting into this so much? :3
You guys must really love Jacobi
getting into it?
spencer i see 1 article from a CPPer......
I am so inspired to make an "how-to to troll comments" now, Spencer.
It's true, but it doesn't mean it is necessarily right or wrong. 😉
"The article doesn't really end with the summary, which usually is a short "Love yah, bye", it really ends in the comments, where you have to unleash your friends to go crazzeh. Make sure they support you, say you are write send you pure love and handle the people who disagree with you."
well if you read the comments in my article you'll see that most of the comments are made by DAL/CSD and mostly disagree.
It deosn't mean that i'm not right though... time will tell.
your article on the other hand is a mastery of progeganda, implying that i'm spewing propeganda.
Do you offer like a classroom course? lol
Like Adasko says, it doesn't end with the article. You were the first to post a very long essay or novel about your opinions in Rainer's article Scorpius 😛
And Adasko, trolls aren't people who disagree with you. Trolls are people who post purposefully inflammatory and nasty stuff to get people worked up, like the Iranians coming over here and spamming our news when we beat them.
I didn't post anything derogatory, and I wasn't trying to make you angry, so nyahhh 😛
I said you inspired me, but I didn't say you trolled that comment (although mentioning the peace surrender thing every second article is a bit trollish. Luckily not this article)
Oh, btw:
Yes, I will surrender Canadian Propaganda to PEACE.
DENIED
That is PEACE PROPAGANDA
"your article on the other hand is a mastery of progeganda, implying that i'm spewing propeganda."
WTF is propegenda?
Furthermore, I believe your article doesn't provide any constructive reason behind calling Jacobi:
a) A hostile
b) A person committing a takeover.
Thus it is a piece of bloody shit, and propaganda.
But I guess some people find dumb hyperboles to be a good way to get votes.
A rabbit or cat wearing a fedora would have sold me on Rainer's article, but the cut and paste of Jacobi's avatar made me have to read the entire article to make me understand the purpose. However, that "Monster" pic convinced me right away that Dominik was a devil.
In all seriousness, this a good "Adaskoism" article even if it has a spin on what is spin. (hence that funky newspaper logo of yours)
is "Adaskoism" another word for what comes out of your bum?
Oh and btw the definition of Adaskoism:
