A underhanded provocation tactic.
When one side intentionally calmly says or does things that will make it impossible for the other person to be calm and not snap. Used to generate a justification for attacking your victim, that bystanders will accept and support.

Get the Israel tactic mug.The top-level domain that used to be a fad to use for indie game projects with 1980s graphics, but nowadays lets you recognize a toxic Silion Valley start-up with the containerized framework crypto AI offerings to solve a problem, that wouldn’t be there without people like them, with more of the same.
You know… the ones with the huge stock photos and utterly useless text blurbs, that look like that of an asexual pickup artist peddling courses. The one seemingly run by 3rd-wave-coffee-sipping iDrones in skinny red plaid dungarees with black suspenders, black 50s glasses and side-combed undercut Hitler Youth / generic-diverse-curly hairstyles running the equivalent of jsLinux as their primary OS. The child of Juicero and a Musk project, not doing hardware, not software, but maybe something cobbled together from existing big projects that a skilled coder could put together himself in an evening, but it somehow presented as the greatest invention to ever save the world. Making Pied Piper look like the old and sane generation.
Not a single barefoot greybeard hacker who has worked on bare metal or Unix boxen in sight. They’re CoC-blocked.

Get the .io mug.Taking a side on an entire topic (esp. political or religious), instead of rationally choosing the best combination of choices for one’s goals. Usually done by people that make a religion out of everything because they are not only unable to think it through, but unable to even become aware of that flaw.
The louder they’re sidin’, the more they are triggered, and the less of a clue they have.
Approaching them with logic and reality will only lead to self-defeat. (Ex. 1)
The ideal approach is to have a purely emotional conversation, treat them like four year old toddlers of a friend, without being condescending, be understanding without having to agree(!), gain their trust so they listen, find the origin of their fears (/triggers) and their wishes, and offer a separate path towards what’s attractive and away from what’s frightening to them. Only works if you let them keep/grow their self-respect, and let them do it on their own free will.
Easier said than done… obviously.
Also abused by wannabe dictators, to divide people and conquer them. (Ex. 2)
Can be seen in American politics, or any country, was the favorite strategy of Hermann Göring, but probably is as old as communication.
Ideally combined with a hopeful message that promises pride. (See: Hitler’s speeches.)
Turning enemies into friends as above also is at least as old as ancient China, as it was mentioned by Sun Tsu, IIRC.

Get the sidin' mug.Logical fallacy around the mantra “Never assume malice when stupidity will suffice”.
In reality, acting like “Whoops, sorry! Stoopid me!”, so the victim is willing to forgive you for longer, is the oldest trick in the book of evil.
Mostly used by anxious sheltered people when overwhelmed by reality .
Not necessarily wrong. But not necessarily right *either*. There simply is no rational basis for it. It is useless. Its false sense of security can itself be harmful again. Purely exists as a coping fantasy. Same thing as conspiracy theorists (−1) , but with an opposite polarity (+1).
Risen in popularity in late 2010s, due to an anxiety epidemic in young people caused by over-sheltering parents, for-profit fear media, over-prescription abuse, and several bad events (pandemic, wars, …).
The real way to tell evil from stupid is:
*Evil has a goal*. Its actions *converge* towards that.
Stupid is incompetent. Its actions *diverge* (into chaos).
Catch 1: Stupid people can *still* be useful pawns for evil people, and follow them. (See example.)
Catch 2: There doesn’t *have* to be an evil person. It may be emergent behavior in a group. (Proof: Your body’s cells aren’t smart. Yet together they can act smart.)
Usually it’s more complex, but that’s the gist.
In the end, stupid is already harmful. It wastes resources and slows advancement down. That is evil.
While evil is already stupid. As teamwork (being nice) is clearly an evolutionary advantage.

Leader figure A: Evil (scapegoat group B) are invading our (group A), destroying our (values) and taking our (valuables)! = Evil. Goal: Power
Group B, Pawn 2: Durk urr durr! Kill all (group B)! =Stupid. Goal: Whatever dear leader A says.
Group A, Anxious traumatized person 3: OMG, (group B) is destroying our (group A)! They are evil! Hyper-focused on anything remotely similar to the previous trauma: “It *must* be real!” Goal: Safety through avoidance.
Group A, Anxious *black-eyed* person 4: Calm down, it’s just Hanlon's Razor! Everything is fine. Nothing to see here, move on. Hyper-focused on anything remotely similar to the previous *safe space*: “It CAN’T be real!” Goal: Safety through ignorance.
(As you can see, everyone in this example is wrong, and merely driven by their anxiety, clinging to what they grew up with that seemingly lets them handle reality.)
