We are being fooled/persuaded. I could be wrong. I couldn’t ignore some patterns I observed. Notice these titles, the first one is presently going viral( In India).
1. “Darwin’s theory wrong, nobody saw ape turning into man” — Some Minister
2. “We are here to change Constitution’” (Against secularism)— Another Minister
3. “Women wearing jeans not good for India: “ — Another Politician
These stories are engineered viruses. They are presently doing a great job on its hosts. When an educated person sees such ridiculous things. They tend to share and mock it. This cause the virus to spread further.
This is exactly the behaviour its creators intended. There could be a cunning agency behind this. Why would someone intentionally do that? Bad publicity right?
Unless the audience they target to reach are superstitious, believes India is a country exclusively for Hindus and thinks men and women are not equal.
In our widely populated country, is there such an audience? Is it a majority? Similar strategies were used by Donald Trump(Explained in the book Win Bigly by Scott Adams).
If so, we are being persuaded to get such leaders free votes. Instead of sharing such ridiculous content. May be we should educate others about science, living in harmony and gender equality.
