Nuclear Spectacle

Disinfolklore transmits triggers which arouse our emotions - anger, fear, disgust, sadness, enjoyment. We respond to these triggered emotions, in particular ways, some of which we find it hard to control. Disinfolklorists saturate us with a variety of emotions which provoke our emotional confusion into which they can inject their own ideal responses.

Nuclear Disinfolklore is spectacle at its most extreme — the deliberate saturation of audiences with contradictory emotions (anger, fear, disgust, sadness, even enjoyment) until confusion results. Into that confusion, Disinfolklorists inject their preferred responses. The technique is not to convince but to overwhelm: the emotional fog becomes the wall behind which real objectives are pursued.
