Trolls and Shills

"Observe media content long enough - you'll see the patterns and inconsistencies. For example when we watch television advertising from the 1970s or 80s it now tends to look preposterous or hilarious.  In it's time- it was powerful mind manipulation.  People really did go out and buy both products and ideas.  

 

Better the Wise Monkey -"An easy example of linking and anchoring corrupted psychology through television - is the pitching of tobacco use with the iconic Australian actor Paul Hogan."Observe the media long enough and you'll see patterns in the inconsisitencies." - Maiia

  

 TROLL - "A person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, pornogaphic or off-topic messages in an online community with the deliberate intent of disrupting normal on-topic discussion. Or provoking readers into an emotional response." - Internet troll - wikipedia

 

SHILL - "A person who publicly helps a person or organization without disclosing that they have a relationship. Who purposefully give the impression that they are an enthusiastic, independent individual. The person or group who hires the shill is using crowd psychology to encourage other onlookers or audience members to buy goods or ideas. "  - Shill - Wikipedia

Occupy Cairns Maiia: "Auntie been warn the folk about the pitfalls of globalism since 2003.

Youtube suddenly ablaze in bizarre inflammatory comment in 2009. I tossed up - are people really this stupid?  Having walked the streets documenting the public voice for 30 years - NO! - this is a divisive ploy."
