Us vs. Them
Dividing the world into two camps — people like us (good, trustworthy) and people not like us (dangerous, wrong). It exploits a deep human tendency to favor our own group. Once you accept the division, information from "them" gets automatically discounted.

Us vs. Them
Dividing the world into two camps — people like us (good, trustworthy) and people not like us (dangerous, wrong). It exploits a deep human tendency to favor our own group. Once you accept the division, information from "them" gets automatically discounted.
Tajfel's Social Identity Theory (1979); Minimal Group Paradigm
Confirmation appeal
Selectively presenting information that confirms what you probably already believe. Content that matches your existing worldview requires almost no mental effort to accept — it just feels obviously true.
Wason (1960); Nickerson's confirmation bias review (1998)
In-group/Out-group framing
Leveraging your tendency to automatically trust information from "our people" and distrust outsiders. Once groups are established, people apply different standards of evidence depending on who is speaking.
Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979); Cialdini's Unity principle (2016)
Intensity amplification
Inflating the importance, drama, or shock value of information using superlatives, alarming framing, and emotional language. Once your alarm system activates, you stop evaluating proportionality.
Cultivation theory (Gerbner, 1969); availability heuristic (Tversky & Kahneman, 1973)
Information is consistently shaped from one angle. Seek out how other sources present the same facts.
People or groups are reduced to types. Consider whether the characterization serves the argument more than the truth.
This content frequently uses emotional appeal. Notice when feelings are being prioritized over evidence.
