The following are some of the documented and studied propaganda tactics that have historically led to public prejudice and hostility toward specific ethnic groups or cultures: 1. **Stereotypes and generalizations**: Using simplified, misleading, and often derogatory images to describe entire groups, reinforcing negative attitudes and expectations. 2. **Selective presentation of information**: Selectively presenting negative behaviors or characteristics of a group while ignoring or underestimating its positive aspects to create an unbalanced public opinion. 3. **Fear and anxiety mobilization**: Using public concerns about uncertainty, security, or survival to achieve political or social gains by portraying specific groups as threats or enemies. 4. **Inciting xenophobia**: Stirring up fear and hostility toward foreigners, immigrants, or minority groups by suggesting that these groups are a threat to mainstream culture, customs, or values. 5. **Us vs. Them Binary**: Reinforcing artificial distinctions between ethnic or cultural groups, creating an “us vs. them” mentality by emphasizing differences rather than commonalities. 6. **Selective use of history**: Cherry-picking historical events, cultural practices, or ideologies to justify or rationalize current negative attitudes toward specific groups. 7. Demonization and begrudge: Demonizing a particular group or portraying it as unsociable, evil, or morally deficient by using demeaning, insulting, or disparaging language. 8. Emotional appeals: Using emotions, such as anger, resentment, or Mei ????, to mobilize people against a particular group, rather than relying on logic or fact-based arguments. 9. Conspirators and information silos: Using social networks, media, or online platforms to create conspirators and information silos to amplify negative attitudes toward a particular group and elevate those views into mainstream discourse. 10. Reverse discrimination and victim mentality: Mobilizing negative sentiment against a particular group by portraying the majority group as victims of the minority group, or by claiming that protections or rights for the minority group are unfair favoritism for the majority group. 11. Using slogans and acronyms: Creating short, catchy phrases or slogans that promote negative attitudes toward a particular group, making them more memorable and repeatable. 12. **Institutionalization and Normalization of Bias**: Making bias and discrimination seem “normal” or “taken for granted” by embedding it into institutions, policies, or everyday customs, reducing people’s willingness to resist or criticize. 13. **Academic or Scientific Language that Legitimizes Bias**: Using the language of “science” or “experts” to justify or rationalize negative attitudes toward specific groups, as seen in historical examples of “scientific” racism or eugenics. 14. **Competing Narratives and Dual Realities**: Creating competing narratives or sense of reality to ignore or erase the experiences, perspectives, or contributions of minority groups, thereby reinforcing the dominance of the majority group. 15. **Taming of Dissent and Criticism**: Creating a dominant narrative that propagates by making it difficult or impossible for people to dissent or raise objections, by silencing, defaming, or invalidating opposing voices and criticism. These strategies may be more easily accepted due to a lack of critical thinking, ignorance, or the influence of historical legacies.
