Heard some US army dude say something about propaganda; that often as not the point is to produce absurd propaganda, so that it calls reporting on both sides into question.
If your side makes some absurd claim about the enemy killing their own civilians for not clapping or whatever, and the enemy points out your real war crimes, then, while your fanatics might believe you anyway, the response of the Educated Moderate would be: ‘Well, there’s a lot of misinformation going around, so it’s not really possible to know the facts for sure’ - tacitly going along with your goal of muddying the waters, and feeling like they’ve outsmarted you for it.
Funnily enough, very applicable to Radio Free Whatever and its absurd reporting with, say, the DPRK.
Generally this ‘aim high, hit low’ approach applies to a lot of things. If you say an attack killed 60 people, and your enemy says it killed 5, people will feel that it probably killed something like 20 or 30. If you put out propaganda saying that blackouts are, actually good - whether you paint them as some noble sacrifice for the cause, or as secretly-beneficial, or whatever - then people who would otherwise hate them will be swayed to a comfortable neutrality.
The next best thing after someone who supports you is someone who tolerates you, and the best way to get lots of people to tolerate you is by making them think that, maybe, they should really be supporting you. It’ll be rare to get someone to believe that whatever political maneuver you’re pulling is actually righteous, but, if you make it (seem like) an opinion that at least exists, then the comfortable middle-ground most people will take will be to simply not oppose it.
There doesn’t need to be a difficult argument on whether something is good, or exists, there just needs to be an argument. That’s enough to make people steer clear of it.
seeing someone say that the “clean girl” “aesthetic” is a thing because normal people didn’t use to be online in the same way as alt communities but now everyone is so normie girls want a Niche and an Aesthetic to be a part of……… wig
