Agitation tactics

Agitation tactics are strategies used to influence public opinion or behavior by creating emotional reactions, such as fear, anger, or anxiety. These tactics often involve spreading provocative messages, amplifying conflicts, or stirring controversy to rally support or discredit opponents. They aim to sway opinions quickly, often by appealing to people's feelings rather than facts, and are commonly used in politics, activism, or propaganda to mobilize or divide groups. Recognizing agitation tactics helps individuals critically evaluate information and assess underlying motives behind emotional appeals.
