Manipulation

Today's blog topic is about manipulation. Manipulation is something that is used everyday, most of the time, we don't even know about it. I've read somewhere before that there's several situations involving different kinds of types of this effect. This is a type of mind control that people use to gain control of another person.
One of my acquaintances online told me I should write a blog entry about manipulation, and with him being my closest acquaintance, I couldn't turn down his suggestion being at a loss for blog entries to begin with and for those of you readers who have my email address, you can always feel free to email me different suggestions you may have for me to write about in future blogs. Now, manipulation is also called coercion. Which from one of my sources on Google is defined as this:

  • To force to act or think in a certain manner
  • To dominate, restrain, or control by force
  • And finally, to bring about by force
The source I'm reading right now as I write this blog is basically manipulation in a nutshell. Now to explain how each technique works.

Tactic 1 is basically described as a way of controlling through softening up to the individual. On my source, it tells us that this method is used as this:

Tactic 1: To increase suggestibility or to "soften up" the person being manipulated by using audio, visual, verbal, or tactile drills. Its basically defined as that. other ways this method is used is through sleep restriction or nutritional restriction, which to me, is highly insane.

Tactic 2: To establish control over the person's everyday life as it seems to tell me. To me, this is the kind of technique lovers use when they are either dating or newlyweds. It also kind of sounds like kidnapping since its defined by the technique using excessive rewards and punishments, it also uses social isolation with contact to family and friends abridged, or cut short.

Tactic 3: To prohibit, or disallow information and non-supportive communications. Kind of like how a cult works in my opinion since it talks about group stuff, which is cult-worthy.

Tactic 4: Basically means you're making that person feel bad. The source reads that the effects are designed to destabilize(Oh, I love that word, Destabilize) and basically take down the person's basic consciousness, kind of like total mind control like out of sci-fi movies and stuff. it basically described how Nazi Germany might have been formed.

Tactic 5: This tactic says it is used to make the subject feel weak, powerless, inferior, and not in control at all through the use of intense and frequent actions and situations which are basically used to take down that person's confidence in his/herself and undermine their sense of judgement.

Tactic 6: Basically explains the humiliation techniques that the already controlled pawns under Hitler to make Jewish people or other said inferiorities established by Adolph Hitler. It's the use of nonphysical punishments, which are categorized with those humiliation techniques, the loss of the minorities' privileges, inhibiting social isolation, social status changes and other things those poor people had to go through during that rough time period.

Tactic 7: It says this tactic is defined by intimidating the person. Done deal there.

For more information on manipulation techniques and how you can avoid them, I'd recommend you visit this trustworthy source I found.


I don't own any of it anyway, I found it on Google's search engine

Until tomorrow,
