The political skill of using positive reinforcement

Post by billy the kid » Wed Jan 27, 2021 3:20 pm

Positive reinforcement is the process of encouraging or establishing a pattern of behaviour by
offering reward when that behaviour is exhibited.
You know, when your son/daughter shows you an A+ for an assignment, you give them
a reward for their achievements.
Hence, when politicians stand in front of a media throng, they will compliment the public
on an outstanding job in obeying their robotic "anti covid" protocols...
AND then, as a reward, the public (insert here "plebs") are promised the rewards of a
watering down of covid restrictions...
It is classic Positive reinforcement...
Firstly, behaviour modification is introduced into the community, and then when
it is deemed appropriate...(perhaps after learned helplessness is exhibited to an extent...)
surprise surprise...rewards by way of positive reinforcement are announced....
AND of course, theres negative reinforcement, where governments threaten the plebs with fines
if they dont conform to the draconian rules...
AND then theres the actual punishment..the imposition of that fine...(not to be confused
with negative reinforcement....)
ARE you bored yet.... :rofl :rofl :rofl
Dont be....
Because just around the corner we have a government advertising campaign which will centre
on the persuasion of the masses....it wont be informative, nor will it suggest that
you "think about" getting the vaccine....
It will extoll the virtues of the vaccine.....
BUT its "not a silver bullet..." :rofl :rofl :rofl
To discover those who rule over you, first discover those who you cannot criticize...Voltaire
Its coming...the rest of the world versus islam....or is it here already...

Once again we are brainwashed about having the "best medical regulator in the world"
How many times do we have to be told....
How many times have we been told over the last twelve months that we have the
best medical experts in the world in Australia...
Ooops sorry I forgot....I think its called behavioural conditioning....
OR is it purely and simply brainwashing...
Makes one wonder why we have to be told so many times that the TGA is the "best in the world"
Maybe its just to ensure that the plebs have confidence in the injections...oops sorry "vaccine" :rofl
The cunning art of persuasion.... :rofl

WA Police Commissioner Chris Dawson has stated that he will apply the "knucklehead rule" to anyone
not wearing a mask during lockdown...
This obviously is not positive reinforcement...
When a Police Commissioner reverts to belittling the public by calling them knuckleheads,
one has to question the intellect of the man...
Is this an Australian ockerism....calling the public "knuckleheads...."
AND they wonder why the public has lost their respect for the Police, politicians and
generally, everyone in authority....
Perhaps Commissioner Dawson should bone up a bit on how the oxygen supply to the brain
is effected by the wearing of a mask....particularly in the elderly....
Ooops sorry...our illustrious WA leaders have deemed masking to be compulsory...
I guess the plebs just have to obey..... :roll:

I can't breath in a proper mask but the thin disposable ones are tolerable for a short while. They hand the thin ones out in hospitals and they're next to useless anyway so it's pretty pointless really.
