We must remember that only facts mean something in the courtroom. But the thing is that feelings mean much in our life. We should always follow facts, but then we are facing one thing. In information warfare, emotions are playing a big role.
If we are suspicious about things, that is told to us by propagandists. We are always stamped as cold and rough people. In a warzone, we might see many bodies. We know what we see. But who is behind that thing? We might want to believe something that is told to us. When we see war crimes or other crimes, we must ask about the motive?
We see bodies. But who made them? Why do those people have to die?
Why were those people selected for execution? And, who selected the victims and decided to murder them?
When we see crime. We must understand that there is always a motive behind the crime. And even in large-scale war crimes, we must remember that we are investigating crimes.
When you look at information warfare, you must realize that people who are making that stuff are the best neuropsychologists in the world. The arguments that are used in propaganda are not very easy to refuse, because they are affecting our emotions.
Denialism is the thing that is visible in many discussions. People like conspiracy theorists always refuse to listen to other arguments. But then some skeptics are feeding conspiracy theories. They are calling psychiatrists or stamping other people maniacs. One version of denialism that is made on purpose is propaganda. In those cases, only things that are supporting the opinions and wishes of the other side are mentioned and mean something.
In information warfare, the key element is to confess that some actions are ineffective. And one of the examples of this kind of influence opinions is, that Russia tells that the economic sanctions do not affect it. And another way is the callups. There is mentioned that over half of people don't support economic sanctions if they raise prices.
The purpose of those things is to show people that economic sanctions are unnecessary. They hurt only people who put those sanctions. The thing is that sanctions are an important way to show that other nations are not accepting some actions.
Disinformation means misinformation that is delivered on purpose. The thing is how to separate disinformation from real information is simple. Disinformation must keep sterile. There is no argument tolerated against disinformation. Every critical comment against the disinformation will crush by using methods like highlighting the psychiatric papers of the person who criticized that thing. Persons like John Nash are a good example of cases, where their scientific work is left background.
The first remembered thing is schizophrenia. And the second is the game theory of John Nash's scientific work. All mentioned things came after the world schizophrenia that covers the scientific merits of that person.
This is one mark of purpose denialism. The argument against the person has no connection with that man's work.
Propaganda is a misrepresentation that is done on purpose. And one version of misrepresentation is the case of car thieves where some 90 years old person will carry to the courtroom to tell people what happened in the Second World War if somebody steals a car that was meant for a field ambulance.
And that story is spiced with own war experiences. The fact is. That car is stolen from the front of a supermarket in the year 2022. And the thief and owner of that car are under 25. The fact is this is one example of misleading. The court must follow facts. The car was not a field ambulance.
And the place was not the front of the Second World War. The example is that. These kinds of stories have nothing to do with the case that is under judgment.
One of the marks of denialism or propaganda is that arguments appeal to emotions, not facts. Or arguments against the person are not basing the work that person is done.
All arguments against their opinions are prohibited. And they must not listen to things that are not supporting their opinions. They are looking only for evidence of what they want. Denialism is very common in small groups like "flat Earth societies". If people are not talking about what the leaders of the group want. They will kick off from society. Every single discussion in that kind of society must follow the manuscript.
Those people have strong opinions about some things. And they want to believe that their authorities are not making mistakes. Toxic denialism means that people close away things that are not supporting their ideology. Or their opinions are the only things that people should listen to. But how to detect that thing? What are the characteristics of denialism?
The best mark of denialism is that there is only one allowed opinion in the discussion. And the arguments that are used in discussions are basing the authority of some people. That means only one kind of opinion is allowed, and if there are some other arguments they will not hear. Then another mark of denialism is the arguments. That is used in the discussions are physical. They are threats of physical violence against the person who tells things that are not supporting the other people's opinions.
And when we are talking about the scientific equipment that can find evidence the argument against those systems is money. The first thing that is mentioned is the price of the system. There can be many other places to put the money than some very expensive space telescope. And one of those things is the new aircraft carrier.
