[Adaskoism] A How-to to ePropaganda

Warning: Adaskoism in the article!

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!
