Sheep Control

Raiders Army · 08-04-2012, 11:56 AM

What's the best way to control the people out there?

Julio Riddols · 08-04-2012, 12:33 PM

The fear of the unknown has always been more effective than something you can see, IMO. Religion has driven people to do crazy shit since the human race first walked the earth.

Someone needs to wield religion to control.

Media.

All of the above.

Damn I thought this was going to be a thread on how best to control a flock so you can pick up good looking sheep for a GF - I was looking to learn some new techniques.

Get them to the edge of a cliff, they push back better.

Dominatrix.

Religion would be the easiest way to control a plurality to a great extent. But media/advertising is a great way to control a majority to some extent.

Or dominatrix. That works too.

I would say cutting off access to the outside world, banning religion, but then just replacing religion with yourself (as the government, or leader, or whoever's doing the controlling) That formula has worked pretty well historically.

That's getting a lot harder to do these days: there are so many different ways for the outside world to creep in.

Voted other.

Using Cognitive Dissonance is the best way to control people. Convince them to support something that is not in their best interest.

Something that can and is used across religion and politics.

I voted government. I am always amazed that you need a license to drive, hunt, fish, own a gun, etc...but any idiot can breed and the welfare check will keep rolling in.

50 years ago...I'd say it was a coin flip.

Today?

Media. Definitely.

If you disconnect yourself from the media for an extended period of time and make all of your judgments based solely on logic, you're likely to wind up in the extreme minority in most of your viewpoints.

My answer might change depending on the country. For example, the US Government has it's fingers so deep in the media that you could almost say they're the same entity. But, hey...none of that matters because we (along with 87 other countries) have freedom.
