Do you think more users in this immigration section need to read this lesson?
Over and over again we see anti-immigration people use some really disturbing sources, even after they’ve been informed of their racist/hate ties, but continue to use them. Are they misinformed? or are they wanting to spread this propaganda on purpose? If so, what’s the reason?http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/re…
Propaganda Techniques on Hate Sites
Overview:
In this lesson students learn about the propaganda techniques commonly used on Web sites that promote hatred or intolerance (hate sites). The lesson begins with a class discussion about what propaganda is and how it works, followed by a deconstruction of war posters as historical examples. The class then focuses on the role of propaganda as a persuasive tool on hate sites. For homework, students analyze printouts of Web pages from hate sites to identify the propaganda techniques that are used. In an extension activity, students learn about “logical fallacies” and how these are used by those seeking to misinform.
Images and messages that play on patriotism, pride, self-sacrifice and loyalty are common propaganda tools used by governments during times of war. These tools are effective because they appeal to basic human values and needs. Unfortunately, the success of this kind of propaganda – which pits “us” against “them” – comes at the expense of other groups who may not deserve to be stigmatized. In addition, those same strategies may be co-opted by others – such as hate-mongers – to manipulate and misinform.
On the Internet, hate propaganda is only one of the many different types of misinformation we might encounter. But there are serious, real-world consequences when people believe what hate-mongers say. (Show the “Propaganda” overhead and review and discuss terms with students.)
Propaganda techniques are most definitely used in this section.
Yes, propaganda is used in this section. PRO illegals, such as yourself, use it all the time!!!!!
My “claim” is not false and you know it!
We especially like your Saul Alinsky techniques of always accusing the other side of what you are doing, comrade tony.
Always by the pro-illegals.
Well, a couple of people on Yahoo! Answers aren’t exactly going to change anything.
It’s a load of keyboard warriorism.
yes, i truly believe this when sites like splc and la raza are used. This comes at the expense of every American citizen who believes in following the laws. These groups are always misinforming people on illegal aliens. And they are great at manipulation, if no one agrees with their views, just call them racist.
You mean like when you and yours call anyone against illegals being in the US racist, xenophobic, whitey scum. We are not fighting to advance the White race, which is what MLK jr. did for the Blacks or the Hispanic Race which is what LaRaza is doing. We are fighting for our country.
And the way you all proclaim the illegals are so hard working, family oriented and are scammed by US natives (when at 50% of the time it’s from their own) when they buy fake or stolen ID’s & socials.
When the Mexican flag is carried during their protest marches and using the poem at Liberty’s feet to justify illegal immigration.
Or by proclaiming if the Dream Act was passed and amnesty granted these 4.0gpa students could go to college and become good taxpaying citizens.
You mean that propoganda.
EDIT: You don’t recall calling anti-illegal activitist racist or xenophobic? Check back through your questions and answers and you’ll find plenty of it.
