Emotional manipulation

Emotional manipulation and facebook.

I have noticed a lot of post on facebook that say things like " Click like if you love America", or share within 10 minutes if you think bullying is bad. How about click like if you think cooking puppies in the microvwave is cruel, or click like if you think beating the shit out of toddlers is bad.

I dont get it, these benign little quotes are basically meaningless and no one wants to cook puppies in the microwave ( well most people) or thinks bullying is good. My question is, what is the agenda? Why are all these post coming up. Is it just people who want to be some kind of facebook celebrity or is there is something more going on.

If you know or have an idea what the real deal is please let me know. I am the curious type and rarely take things at face value and I subscribe to George Carlin's notion of believing nothing the government tells me or the mass media which in most cases is the mouth piece of the government.

Oh here is one " Click like if you think telling people to click like is bullsht emotional manipulation"

Hi Checkers, handshake
You are absolutely right. All these "Like" and "re post" are a way to monetize in Facebook. For many, privacy is gone.
You are also right about sheep, they are rioting to get through the door to the intellectual BBQ, so to speak. cheers
Checkers, since the Patriot Act and the eavesdropping on calls, emails from the NSA and the cross linking of all government databases, privacy is gone since 2001. cheers
