Remember that when patronising unionists tediously accuse you of sowing division theyโre actually accusing you of the very thing they themselves are guilty of.

sry history lesson: Goebbels never actually said that. He said "Germany's enemies accuse us of what THEY do," which of course is just another #AccusationInAMirror

Mirror propaganda, also known as "accusation in a mirror" or "mirror politics," is a propaganda technique where a person or group falsely accuses their opponents of the very intentions, motives, or actions that they are planning or carrying out themselves. This tactic is often used to create confusion, undermine credibility, and justify malicious actions, such as hate speech and violence.
Mechanism Mirror propaganda leverages a form of psychological projection to achieve several goals simultaneously: โข Creates confusion: By accusing an opponent of something they have not done, the propagandist can distract the public and force their opponent into a defensive position. โข Normalizes the perpetrator's actions: When the propagandist systematically employs this tactic, serious allegations can become desensitized to the public, making it harder to distinguish truth from falsehood. โข Justifies future actions: By framing their opponent as a threat, the propagandist can justify their own aggressive behavior as a form of "collective self-defense".
Psychological effect The power of mirror propaganda lies in its ability to manipulate emotions like moral outrage and fear. When a person hears a shocking accusation, their immediate emotional response can sometimes override their critical thinking. This makes them vulnerable to manipulation, especially when the tactic is used repetitively.
Today I learned there's a word for this particular type of gaslighting that CK apologists/eulogists have been using.

You taught me a new term. I knew there had to be a name for it and I was racking my brain yesterday to no avail.
