Disinformation: what it is, and why it is needed

Deception is one of the most effective tools invented by mankind to achieve its own goals. Disinformation - what is it in essence? The same deception, prepared and sophisticated, applied everywhere and with an astonishing frequency.

It turns out that misinformation is one of the ways of manipulating the masses. Who owns the information, he owns the world, but who is able to disprove and reinterpret it in a favorable light, can manage all processes in society.

Disinformation as a New Definition of Deception

Until a certain time, mankind was familiar only with deception. In disinformation, however, it has evolved with the advent of politics, the means of disseminating mass information. And the first sphere of application of this phenomenon was the field of military battles. Disinformation - what is this for war? This is a very effective weapon of mass destruction, capable of depriving the entire army of combat readiness. So, at the dawn of the formation of civilizations, it was enough to inform the enemy in some artful way about the approach of huge reinforcements, and this most hostile army left the battlefield and retired. So mass misinformation works. The essence was precisely in the supply of information. It should be reported in such a way that the enemy believes. And now disinformation - what is it, How not a full-fledged science with its own rules and laws?

Methods of misinformation

The further people moved in their development, the more sophisticated the methods of misinformation became. With the advent of newspapers, radio and television, it became possible to manipulate entire peoples, simply by telling them the necessary fictitious facts in a certain way. With the advent of the Internet, it has become even more acute. Now with the help of disinformation one can start a war and win it, while remaining a peacemaker with an unblemished reputation.

Entire institutions are working on developing technologies for manipulating society. But all developments are spreading through two similar phenomena, the name of which is disinformation and rumors. Of course, they are primarily used for geopolitical purposes. But disinformation has also gained fame in more peaceful fields.

Hidden methods of misinformation

For example, earning money is difficult to imagine without the participation of this phenomenon. In fact, misinformation is also used to distribute goods. What is it, how not unfair advertising? There are many ways to manipulate customers, and they all boil down to concealing or substituting facts about the goods and services being sold. The society is deliberately deceived, so that someone can profit from it.

In other words, misinformation is nothing more than a lie, which completely or partially reinterprets facts or truth. It is believed that a lie can only be present where there is cowardice and a desire to dominate others, excessive profitability and an irresistible passion for success. Sometimes people, trying to misinform others, are so involved in the process that lying becomes their second life for them. Such a life is inherent in those who try to live by merciful lies.

Be carefull

In order to distinguish the truth from misinformation, it is very important to use several sources. Even the most proven of them sooner or later, based on the trust of their customers, can miss completely untrue news, and in the future completely replace the true information with lies.

People come up with many good and useful things, but human genius is capable of creating terrible inventions, the only purpose of which is to help in enslaving and managing other people.
