Chapter 902: Influence with Love
"Which step is it done? In short, it is necessary to convince them that everything you say is right, and in this religion, you are the spokesman of God, and what you say is God's will. Zhang Nan said.
"But what if someone doesn't believe me?" Lee asked.
"Then kill them." Without waiting for Zhang Nan to answer, Li Er replied first.
"No, no, no, we have to influence them with love and make them believe in us, killing them will not solve the problem, and it may be counterproductive." Zhang Nan shook his head and said.
"Influence with love?!" Li Er and Li said in unison.
"That's right, you think, if a person reaches the most desperate moment, and suddenly he starts asking for some gods he doesn't believe in, and finally saves the day, then he must believe it." Zhang Nan said.
"I'm not very interested in these, but you can tell me more about the brainwashing you just mentioned."
At this time, a horse race had just finished, and the racecourse was being cleaned to prepare for the next Marseille, so Li Er also returned to the two from the stands.
"Well, Your Majesty, do you want to listen to a more professional explanation, or do you want to listen to a more popular explanation?" Zhang Nan asked.
"This ...... Popular, no, give me a professional explanation. Comrade Li Er originally wanted Zhang Nan to speak in a more popular way, after all, there are many new words in the professional explanation that Comrade Li Er cannot understand.
But in the end, Comrade Li Er still chose to let Zhang Nan give him a professional explanation, after all, it was too popular to fit his identity.
Zhang Nan was also relieved when he heard Comrade Li Er say this, in fact, he only knew professional explanations, as long as he read the answers given by the system, if Comrade Li Er wanted to listen to popular explanations, then Zhang Nan had to translate the words himself, which would become troublesome.
"Generally speaking, brainwashing is equivalent to mind control, and mind control mainly requires the following conditions." Zhang Nan paused, and then continued.
"The first point is that people don't realize that there is a plan to control and change themselves, that is, we have to brainwash them, but this is absolutely not something that they can know, just like we all know that this teaching is false, but this group of people can't know. These brainwashed people will find themselves changing step by step, donating money, believing more and more, becoming more and more fanatical, but feeling that all this is normal. It's a natural change of its own. We didn't explicitly ask for it, but everyone "spontaneously" took a path that was most in line with our interests. Zhang Nan said with a smile.
After Li Er heard this, he also smiled, and then said, "It's a little interesting, go on." ”
"Yes, the second point is to control their time and the environment in which they live. It's like if a religion requires all members to get up early every day for face-to-face communication, and they can't be allowed to live too comfortably. Zhang Nan said.
"Oh? Why is that? If we don't give them a comfortable life, how can they believe in our teachings? Li Er asked with some puzzlement.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this involves the third point."
"To create a sense of impotence, fear and dependence, in layman's terms, is to present a wonderful prospect that is unattainable, and this goal can only be achieved by participating in the events we organize. Just like Buddhism says, if you do penance in this life, you will be able to get a better life in the next life, so we can also do this, and we can also tell them that as long as they sincerely believe in a religion, then when they die, they will be reincarnated to get a better life. Zhang Nan said with a smile.
"We must belittle their real lives and exaggerate their bright prospects. Of course, we don't need to belittle them, they also know that they are not doing well, and we have to blame each of them for their = defects, and gradually develop a sense of incompetence and dependence on a religion. ”
"Yes, yes, it's really like you said, I think about it, it seems that this is what Buddhism means." Li Er stroked his palm.
"Your Majesty, not only Buddhism, but all organizations with a religious nature, these are necessary." Zhang Nan said.
"Well, I know, but I don't think Taoism has so many rules and regulations." Li Er also raised an objection.
"We don't care about this, they are them, we are us." Zhang Nan said.
"Well, you go ahead." Li Er commanded.
"Next, we have to suppress individualized behaviors and attitudes, in short, we must be obedient when we enter the church, do not prick them, do not raise any objections or questions, and believe unconditionally everything that the doctrine says."
"Why does this sound familiar? I always feel like I've seen it somewhere. Li Er frowned.
Zhang Nan ignored Comrade Li Er, but continued.
"Some ideas are to be carried out according to the intention of the organizers. All of this is theoretically advocated by the manipulator and carried out through mutual evaluation and supervision between individuals, so it has great power. Soon the individual realizes that entering the organization requires leaving behind his past self and becoming a new person. ”
As soon as Zhang Nan finished speaking, Comrade Li Er slapped his thigh and said, "I remember, isn't that what the military academy did?" All trainees can only obey the leadership of their superiors, cannot raise objections, and have strict requirements for their daily life. ”
"Your Majesty, you can see it." Zhang Nan said.
"That's right, that's a good idea." Li Erdao, if the above few Comrade Li Er are just an ear, but when it comes to this one, Comrade Li Er really knows that this is definitely useful, which can be seen from the high morale and firm will and loyalty to Datang of the cadets.
"Inculcate new behaviors and attitudes: after the manipulated person enters the organization. The respect and affirmation of other individuals is very important. If it is affirmed, it is considered to have the greatest value; If an individual's opinion is despised or ignored by the organization, it is feared that it will not be abandoned. After a while, a new person is born and becomes the messenger of the manipulator. ”
"What does that mean?" Comrade Li Er asked a little strangely.
"It's also very simple, everyone believes in one thing, and as a result, someone raises an objection and can't get the respect of other people, then it is bound to be ostracized, and no one likes to be excluded, so what if you want to blend in with other people? You can only say the same thing as them, and over time, this person will become a member of the church. ”
