Deception is one of the most effective tools invented by humanity to achieve its own goals. Disinformation - what is it in essence? The same deception, prepared and sophisticated, applied everywhere and with astonishing frequency.
It turns out that disinformation is one of the ways to manipulate the masses. Whoever owns the information owns the world, but whoever is able to refute it and twist it in a favorable light, can control all processes in society.
Disinformation as a new definition of deception
Until a certain time, mankind was only familiar with deceit. It turned into disinformation with the advent of politics, the media. And the first sphere of application of this phenomenon was the field of military battles. Disinformation - what is it for war? This is a very effective weapon of mass destruction, capable of depriving entire armies of combat capability. So, at the dawn of the formation of civilizations, it was enough to inform the enemy in some cunning way about the approach of huge reinforcements, and this same enemy army left the battlefield and went home. This is how mass disinformation works. The point is to provide information. It should be communicated in such a way that the opponent believes. And now disinformation - what is it if not a full-fledged science with its own rules and laws?
Methods of disinformation
The further people moved in their development, the more sophisticated the methods of disinformation became. With the advent of newspapers, radio and television, it became possible to manipulate entire peoples simply by telling them the necessary fictional facts in a certain way. With the advent of the Internet, things have become even more aggravated. Now, with the help of disinformation, you can start a war and win it, while remaining a peacemaker with an unsullied reputation.
Entire institutions are working on the development of technologies to manipulate society. But all developments are spread thanks to two similar phenomena, the name of which is disinformation and rumors. Of course, they are primarily used for geopolitical purposes. But disinformation has gained fame in more peaceful fields.
Hidden methods of disinformation
For example, making money is hard to imagine without the participation of this phenomenon. In fact, misinformation is also used to distribute goods. What is this if not unfair advertising? There are many ways to manipulate buyers, and they all come down to hiding or substituting facts about the goods and services being sold. Society is deliberately misled so that someone can profit from it.
In other words, disinformation is nothing but lies that completely or partially distort facts or truth. It is believed that a lie can only be present where there is cowardice and a desire for dominance over others, excessive profitability and an uncontrollable passion for success. Sometimes people, trying to misinform others, get so involved in the process that lying becomes a second life for them. Such a life is characteristic of those who try to live with the help of charitable lies.
Be vigilant
In order to distinguish truth from misinformation, it is very important to use multiple sources. Even the most trusted of them, sooner or later, based on the trust of their customers, can miss completely untrue news, and in the future completely replace the true information with a veiled lie.
People come up with many good and useful things, but the human genius is also capable of creating terrible inventions, the sole purpose of which is to help enslave and control other people.
