Psychological Tricks That Politicians Use to Manipulate Us

Most people, of course, already believed this, and so it wasn’t hard from there to take people’s resentment that they don’t have what they should, and stir it into anger against almost anything that wasn’t the Nazis themselves.This is one of the ways the Nazis were able to slowly get so many citizens to willingly learn such a terrible and unjustified hatred of the Jews. They started off slowly appealing to people’s sense of identity and fairness and then once they had them hooked, they made it more and more clear that there was only one way to make things better — destroy the Jewish problem entirely. Much of the time Goebbels didn’t believe in being too direct about violent talk against the Jews; he believed in using the right wording and emphasis, and letting people’s natural emotions and prejudices take hold and carry them further forward — by this time, you had become a party to the delusion yourself.
