It's common in marketing campaigns to 'localize', more or less doing exactly what you think they're doing. It's like when you walk into an Applebees and they have local shit on the wall, supposed to make you feel comfortable.
Feels a little more nefarious when it's propaganda.
Yeah, that’s it exactly. It’s really not nefarious when it’s an ad for laundry detergent or school supplies.
But you attach politics to it and BOOM - it feels creepy as hell.
I think it is creepy when sophisticated psychological manipulation is used to alter your consumer choices.
It is dishonest. There is no attempt to inform you about new products and technologies you would benefit from. Rather disinformation is used to deceive you as to the necessity or usefulness of their product.
Yup, you hit the nail right on the head. This is exactly the same tactic Hillary (youtube.com) used to try and win over southern voters.
I forget the term for it, but liberals will do it all the time. Trying to sound southern, black, latino, etc. just to manipulate you. The scary thing is that some people do this without even thinking about it.
It's called "Code switching". It's natural to psychopaths and that's one more reason why they're so dangerous.
Dont leave out the narcissists
Had to research that. It's called the chameleon effect.
Remember in the recent years several politicians using different accents and dialects to sound more like niggers etc.
