DECODED - Divisive Statements (P2)

Humans have an inherent disorder of assuming the current speaker to be of utmost veracity with truth in every statement. This disorder has previously produced undesirable results and has been the victim of propagandistic sentiment for generations. The elites who decrypted this psychological fallacy of the multitudes have long wielded its power for malicious or selfish intentions. The Nazis, for instance, were adept at influencing public opinion of their victims (not crucial per se). For example, they tore throats, screaming and imprinting a stereotype of Jews in their citizens' minds. Donald Trump Junior is a slightly more relatable and apt example. 'We need to build a wall.' One supports the phoney and criminal immigrants, by Republican definition, in their meticulous attempts to cross the border and take American jobs. Or one affirms the Republicans for their efforts in the creation of a wall paid for by the Mexicans. One cannot vouch for the wall and be a Democrat by the statement.
Similarly, one cannot detest the wall and be a Republican. Prior to the expansion of political campaigning techniques, politics was a field (still rid by corruption no doubt) of finesse. Campaigning was usually upon singular principles. You could support a party but dislike certain ideals without a feeling of guilt. Now, if one detests the wall and the Democrats - the individual is ridden by guilt to join the Democrats. 

The question remains, why? Why must we take the eloquent speaker to be the honest speaker? Why must human psychology be proactively engaged in producing loopholes to exploit? Why can these loopholes not be amended? 

  1. The eloquent speaker/writer speaks/writes with the grace of a confident individual. Confidence is correlated to the integrity of an individual in the minds of the many. It contributes to the brain understanding confidence as narrating the truth. Dear readers, do you not see movies? We are sucked into the vortex of a movie's plot by the confidence and skills of the actors. We cry in their misery. We revel in their joys. A less talented actor or an amateur produces a less-believable reproduction of the same. Reason? Confidence - talent. This analogy is a case for human psychology to regret. 
  2. Political leaders are fluid with cash. The profit motive is prevalent for any field desirous of gaining from politics. Hence, business leaders, politicians and the elite criminals fund research into the exploitation of human psychology. PR (Public Relations) rely on such stunts to engage the mind of their consumers into a state of following their employers and their statements. Research is fueled by monetary aid progressed on a (yet again) quid pro quo basis.
  3. These loopholes are not holes in the evolution-seasoned logic of the mind. They can be amended with simple fine-tuning of our ancestral philosophy. The final result of the below-mentioned tactics can encourage a more wholesome approach to the world itself. These holes are temporary but can be used to access the weakened mind and influence it to the point of no return. 

To prevent the flawed yet silver-tongued statements of persuasive politicians from corrupting our chaste brains, we must proactively decipher the logic for differentiating between declarations. Instead of wholely basing a politician's image upon his expression and oratory, take in a good measure of the underlying meaning of his words. Recognise his words as empty rhetoric or meaningful sentences. Take into account the divisiveness of every declaration. Inspect the statement as OneWorld does. Is it to shock and provoke for electoral gain? Is to degenerate law and order? Are we to believe their account without adequate facts? 

The divisions of caste, creed, gender et cetera are among us. They haunt humanity and exploit our sensitivity to certain divisions of humanity. Divisive statements create sensation and trepidation. They shock, and they incite. Divisive comments are here to stay. We must adapt to patch our sensitivities and break down the walls between the community. After all, humans are a single species, and not sub-divided. The author has crafted a poetic verse for the same in the continuing lines.

Awaken, o Reader of mine,
The time has come to remove our binds.
The chains around us,
And all those one finds.

Hearken, o Reader of mine,
Realise the faith of humanity at stake.
The key to the chains is not with us,
But the key we must make.

Cometh forth, o Reader of mine,
Break and destruct your barriers.
Blame not your problems on the rich,
For we ourselves are the carriers.

Listen wisely, o Reader of mine,
Do not fall deaf to propaganda and lies.
Remember what you read isn't yet right,
And do not simply surmise.

Economy of India: Currently

Currently, our economy is at the lower edge of the business cycle. It will have fallen to a (Moody's) forecasted growth rate of 5.8 per-cent in the fiscal year 2020. The Economy of India is currently trying to improve but remains under duress. The incumbent BJP of India has delivered an influx of legislation upon the pressing issue. From the removal of 'angel' tax to the expedited refund of GST for MSMEs, the government has procured a slew of measures for averting a profound economic slowdown. Lamentably, the government's political moguls seem not to pay much heed to the increasingly devastating problem. In their assemblies and discourses, they tend to bring about more populist ideologies in their manifestos rather than economic ones.  While the multitudes are affected by this intense situation, the publicly mandated government's regulation is proving slightly inefficient. These laws seem to protect and conserve the uppermost one per-cent of the nation. India...

Critiquing the Farm Laws: The Angst Explained

Tears stream from the eyes of the vast multitude of farmers camping on the outskirts of Delhi. Brown, watery eyes haze and blur the hundreds of posters and flags these people carry – many young, many old, women and men. Two months and more have passed since the formulation of nationwide farmers’ protests (but mainly concentrated to the North of India: Punjab and Haryana). While the government spars with the desperate (mainly rural and marginal) farmers, the ordinary protesting farmer spars with unfairness – be it the media, economists, capitalists or simply, the common man. There lies some truth in the actions of the farmers, who have protested, rallied, and held their tongues when radically insulted by tabloid journalists. In this article, the author aims to examine the three laws. The government passed three laws: The Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services ...

Are We Autistic In Our Thinking?

Autism is a state of mental activity far beyond the grasp of human knowledge. The condition shows varied outputs, but what goes on inside the autistic people is unknown to  mankind. Down Syndrome is yet another misunderstood genetic disorder. Facial disfigurement and other such defects are found in children affected by down syndrome. Here too, science cannot tell the goings-on of afflicted people.  Conservative societal norms have long shadowed stricken people and forgoed them as subhumans. As Calvin (comic) rightly put it “Some people just don’t like variety”. Due to such irrational norms, many such people have been placed on the edges of society. In this dark representation of the world, humanity lights the path. Help came to the affected community in the way of different NGOs and one of them is Sandesh(NGO). Sandesh pins the hopes and dreams of the marginalised section by giving them a purpose. Members here are shown the way to join the workforce and rise in its ranks...
