Underhand tactics used in sgforums
-
I have this theory... I started the thread "All out to defame people critizising THE governement" because I noticed that some people here are using propaganda techniques...
They start a thread like "All out to defame our governement" or when some one start a thread like "All out to defame our governement"; this group of people will keep on bumping the thread up so that the title: "All out to defame our governement" gets repeated, repeatedly.
It does not matter if inside, the motion has been soundly debunked.
Many people do not read the contents inside the thread and every time they scan the "Newest Topics"; they see: "All out to defame our governement" and soon, because the thought keeps repeating in their heads... they start to believe that people are ""All out to defame our governement"
So please bump this one up and soon, everyone will see that dishonorable people are "All out to defame people critizising THE governement"
See how I on purpose use the same spelling "governement"?
so someone please start a topic : Can anybody proof that our ministers are NOT corrupted? and use the same word "proof" instead of "prove".
Then bump it up every time "Can anybody proof that our ministers are corrupted?" is bumped up. Notice how "All out to defame our governement" stops after I started this thread?
Better someone else do it than me, or I could have registered a clone to do it.
We have no control over the "controlled press" doing it but we can surely prevent such underhand tactics from manifesting in sgforums... -
and someone please start a thread: "Why Singaporeans WILL NOT continue to vote for PAP" and bump it up when they bump up the other one...

Tactic is called "Straw Man"

I think that it is more like Positioning (marketing).
"Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind"

as for which fallacy it falls under... I think it is more like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_assertion
Proof by assertion is a logical fallacy in which a proposition is repeatedly restated regardless of contradiction.
a variant of the appeal to authority or appeal to belief fallacies. -

There are Singaporeans who have ran away, and are posting in Speakers Corner about their grievances from overseas. Seems like they have left their arses in Singapore, that's why they still complain about Singapore from their new overseas home.
These ppl irks me, as they have no stake in Singapore anymore, but they never pass up a chance to bash Singapore.
There are many techniques used in Speakers Corners.
Read through all posts here, long ones and short ones, and you will be able to see the styles used. You will see the plain honest ones and the covert ones. -
when you finally become sianz... that's when it gets into your sub-conscious... these people are not stupid... don't underestimate them... learn their tactics and you will become more powerful, personally, in your personal life...Originally posted by holygoh:wa u dam observant man. i also never thought about it. ups for u la

you can use the power for good or evil then... but you will be a little more powerful... may the force be with you... -

Anyway, government is also guilty of using underhand tactics as well. -
PM Lee has directed Minister Lui Tuck Yew to send counter-insurgency (treating ordinary citizens who have views, suggestions and feedbacks on government policies as enemies) to counter postings of forumers at sgforums and other forums.
He has prohibited newspapers from engaging in crusading journalism for whatever it means.
He has announced to the people he wanted to build an inclusive cosmopolitan society.
Now let us review his performance. Lately there are many counter-insurgency agents who issued threats to sue forumers for replying to their own threats and intimidating remarks and provocations.
Is PM Lee still interested in building an inclusive cosmopolitan society and is he being coherent in his policies so far to build an inclusive and cosmopolitan society?
Is he changing his mind now by sending counter-insurgency cyber agents to forums? Is he serious in engaging the forumers in robust arguments to debunk them (if wrong) or is his objective to use his political power to intimidate them with libel suits with forumers having no right whatever to reply even to his own cyber-agents' extremely uncalled for provocation like calling them whiners and quitters?
PM Lee has still not made any clarification what were his objectives in governing Singapore over the past 3 years. Without such clarifications, will not the people be getting confused and the whole country might just soon plunge into chaos? -

Our armed forces consist of militia, and militia are citizens.
Our para-military are also citizens. -
How can they counter cyber insurgents who hit and do not run because they are overseas?Originally posted by Eiizumi:Our armed forces consist of militia, and militia are citizens.

Mutiny is possible anywhere in the world.

and with that, you call him a "counter-insurgency agents who issued threats to sue forumers for replying to their own threats and intimidating remarks and provocations."Originally posted by robertteh:Ask Crazy Monkey whether he has been calling forumers as whiners?
your answer undo all the merits that you had in your previous post.
I was expecting you to quote someone who
1) is link to govt.
2) say something bad, and sue and threatens others for their reply -
I see an underhanded tactic being used now too~ -
Can I say something.. maybe it's just me, but I find your posts a bit hard to digest because it's just... messy... your thoughts are sort of like all of over the place and your punctuation and tenses too. Maybe I'm not intelligent enough lo... but... they confuse me more than they enlighten me.

Don't you just notice that everytime its just the same few people in here?

Bah. This forum has enough apparachiks from the PAP, it is a wonder they have no guts to reveal their real identity and jobs.

clones FTW!
