40. The methods of disinformation are many

The most important thing for a disinformation operative, a web shill, a doubletalking corporate shill - is to pick the right victim. There's no advantage in arguing with someone who's on to you and laughs at your sophistry and fallacious rhetoric. What you require is a good but naive soul who (for whatever reason) thinks you are sincere. He/She can think you're misguided, but it is essential that they don't perceive you as a joker. That's the way to draw him/her into an endless, meaningless jabber-fest of non-sequiturs, ad hominems, false choices, false conclusions, and all the other manipulations and games that you use to wear them down, make them feel frustrated and angry. Emotion is your tool; use it against them without mercy. And after you've led them on for hours or days or weeks, they will be reluctant to admit they've been manipulated, and that is how you immunize them against an authentic critic who tries to clue them in. You're a con man, essentially, and that is your forte. So, don't forget to use ambiguous and vague rhetoric, and appear to be one one side while arguing back and forth from both sides, but never committing to any definitive set of ideals, beliefs, facts.
