(1)政权跟民间争辩
希特勒政权下恶名昭彰的纳粹宣传部长约瑟夫戈培尔曾说,“谎言重复千遍就是真理”,而且,“混杂部分真相的说谎比直接说谎更有效”。
这邪恶的宣传战略于今尤烈,并且猖狂,当时境越是充斥虚实难分、真伪不分的浑沌,它就越犀利,越见效,于是乎,各地政客上下其手,把真相虚幻化,把虚幻真相化,把真相跟谎言搅和混淆……为求利己效应,操作手段在所不惜。
儘管如此,物价有没有降跌,民生有没有改善,老百姓的日子有没有过得更舒适,还是深深体会到根本就不比前朝好……这方面,政治强词无法夺理,冷暖自知的事实既繫在民心,道理就在民心,真相就在民心,并非靠权力的威慑就能让人乖乖背书……这也没有抽象的空间来让人产生错觉,不至于在政治宣传轰炸之下,出现认知的偏误。
对老百姓冷暖自知的民生,动不动还搬出一大堆数据,讲得又比唱的还好听,频密争辩的动作那么大,感觉就是不许百姓点灯,过于咄咄逼人,这反而让庶民对什么数据呀官腔呀毫无好感,无法置信,日子一久,公信力渐没。
政治权力选择跟民间争论物价和维持生计的成本是愚不可及的!
连输掉两场补选之后,希盟政府的领导确有不少人异口同声指出经济和民生问题实际上没搞好,之前的承诺没兑现皆是不能忽视的重要败因……
(2)Cunning tactic : Repetition lie to create illusion of truth
Politicians who choose not to practise the uncompromising value of integrity tend to cling to whatever tactics of illusory truth effect.
Well, they really think that by their repeated statements and well-designed extensive propaganda, the half true or even untrue stories in their favour will dominate, become the popular public perception, eventually the belief of people.
They know that illusory truth effect is impactful to confuse people’s minds, mix-up fact and true with fake and lie, misinformation is able to disguise as truth in its subtle way.
It’s a disgrace that the virtues of political integrity are becoming too rare as most have subsequently being eroded.
