what's going on everyone charlie here um i'm gonna
bring this relevant video and put this together for you real quick
just gonna go over five things that are used as far as psychological tactics to get you to think
the way they want you to think so we're talking about psychological warfare planting seeds for
the illusion of choice which is exactly what's happening right now in the social media community
now remember this is war this is real i mean i i know i say that a lot but it's the fact of
the the of the reality is that this is war and just because we're not bearing arms and running
on a field somewhere doesn't mean that they can't use warfare tactics against us which that's what
they've been doing so psychological warfare is the planned tactical use of propaganda threats
other non-combat techniques during wars threats of war or in our case periods of geopolitical unrest
to mislead intimidate demoralize or otherwise influence the thinking or behavior of an enemy
which in this case is the retail traitor so the propaganda is the fake news the threats
or the harassment of others uh you know for disagreeing with the narrative and then of
course we have the primary objective influence the thinking or behavior of retail traders
psychological warfare is a broad term but in all documented cases the concept uses
actions intended to reduce an opponent's morale or mental well-being which is what
you see happening throughout the community at least on social media like twitter reddit
um even youtube because there's an algo that controls the overall sentiment
now this is what is being attempted now this is real this is war keep that in mind
so psychological tactics we're going to help you better understand the tactics being used
against you so that you can ascend to a state of awareness and rise above the narratives
we're going to look at five psychological tactics used specifically for social media to manipulate
the thoughts and actions of others and this is highly recommended marketing techniques as well
so this applies outside of the situation too if you're watching tv things like that it applies
there as well so psychological tactic number one color psychology social media is highly visual
and the psychology surrounding colors is frequently used these meanings generally
hold true depending on the tone and imagery use so for red generally speaking passion
anger intensity heightened emotional and physical state yellow joy serenity happiness and ecstasy
blue trustworthiness approachable sad soothing green luck prosperity money conservativeness
and success and then purple intellectual problem solving regal special and lux
and then here's a little color wheel here with the different emotions that's tied to them
that's tactic number one we see it used all over the place
tactic number two is called social proof and this is exactly what it sounds like basically it's
proof that people like what you do social proof comes in the form of reviews and testimonials as
well as the number of social media followers and engagements someone may have social proof is smart
psychological marketing trick because it helps to pre-sell your audience when people see that
others trust and like you they are more compelled to take action when they see one of your social
media posts that action might be to learn more about your service or to purchase your product
this is why i've always said all year i don't care how many followers you have
i don't care how long you've been in the industry i don't care how popular you are
it does not matter if you're wrong you're wrong this should not influence people's decisions
and here's an example you see it all the time on tv and everything you know you see a testimonial
like you're wondering if a product is good or not then you see the testimonial oh this is great and
then it's like joanne that's basically it that's not really any evidence that it's a good product
you're just taking this psychological trick and taking it as fact which it's a very very common
thing that happens so don't take someone else's word for anything especially in the markets
psychological tactic number three amplification hypothesis
the amplification hypothesis means that if you display certainty when you say something people
are more likely to believe you on social media boring content gets ignored like mine
and being wishy-washy uncertain or vague is really boring on the flip side if you share
your stance on a topic with conviction people can get behind you they are more
likely to engage with your content they know where you stand and they can agree or disagree
now this is where it gets convoluted because what do we see going on in the community
we see with absolute certainty on reddit posts and over text that these people are confident in
their decisions however when invited to come onto a discord server to talk to me man to man so i can
hear the conviction just like this says in their voice that's exactly why i've been asking that
because i want to hear the conviction in their voice seeing it over a screen
takes nothing and can be easily faked but faking it over a voice
chat would be much harder to do which is why i imagine no one showed up except one person
here's an example this is from david perlmutter and he tweets out as many of you know i am an
avid fisherman and try to spend as much time on the boat as possible but even when i'm landlocked
when i find myself craving salmon which is often i stick to wild caught fish salmon may be that
one of the most healthful foods on the planet but farm-raised fish is less rich in nutrients and can
put you at risk of toxic contamination and i can't tell a lie wild salmon tastes better much better
once you run wild you won't want to come back and then it says when it comes to fish go wild
oh forgot to read the uh so in the example right here and this is from instagram
i'm sorry i said it was from twitter this is from instagram my bad anyways in this example
instagram post celebrity neurologist and author uh dr david perlmutter shares his advice on eating
fish with no wiggle room he doesn't even uh he doesn't give a long winded uh wet recommendation
and say long-winded i cannot read today he doesn't give a long-winded recommendation
and say sometimes you can eat wild and sometimes it's okay to eat farm-raised fish
he is very clear about his recommendation in both the image of the post and the caption so
again only one option trying to get you to think one direction stay away from this amplification
tactic number four is called polarization we uh this is what we've seen primarily all year long
it's a it's basically pretty similar to
controversial
tactics again it's meant to to divide and conquer so basically
when you create polarizing social media content you're essentially drawing a line
between us and them which is what we've seen all year you know apes versus hedge funds amc
versus gme specifically is how it's affecting us so they're trying to cause wedges cause
division trying to make us doubt one another however we're all in this for the same reason
to get back at the hedge funds and to get you know justice served accountability held all
that good stuff so by driving a wedge we start to forget who we're fighting against because we're
fighting against each other us would be your target audience an ideal buyer them would be
everyone you don't care about narratives don't try to appeal to everyone's success in the long run
so you should absolutely be aware of this trick on social media and figure out who the tactic
is being geared to falsely support which in this case i don't think there is necessarily a
one-sided thing here they're just trying to create division in both communities so amc and gme is the
easiest example to give of psychological tactic number four polarization and lastly number five
something that is happening right now and can be witnessed and observed right now
is called frequency illusion now this occurs when a narrative is being pushed and then goes with the
amplification tactic hand in hand as it gives the illusion of the narrative being everywhere at once
on twitter reddit all the other social media when in reality it's being heavily pushed by the enemy
and if they were not doing it no one would be talking about it which is exactly what's happening
with things like computer share we've seen it with things in the past before uh when
they tried to create an alter alternative narrative uh with stellar boxing that that
was a thing for a minute you just got to be aware that they're going to do anything
now again if you want to come see what i'm talking about please come check out the discord budstop
is the name of it discord dot gg slash fudstop is all you need to know to access it 100 free
and then you can come and look at our public reddit feed there's been 1771 results
just for posts with the phrase drs in it since 10 8 2021 and you'd be shocked if you
went through those and saw just how many of them are from bot accounts or paid for accounts now
this uh small clip here again this is what the discord looks like this is a reddit feed
here for super stock uh there is quite a bit of computer share stuff and other things being pushed
i'm telling you if you look at it from the outside in it's apparent so keep in mind
be critical be skeptical it's not there's not anything wrong about being skeptical especially
if you're in a situation that's going to change your life if played the right way so remember rise
above the narrative there's one out there several and it's going to get worse so come on we're open
