Words origin emotion. They can make individual happy, but they can besides kill. There are besides those who can bore to death with words. Words are a tool of conversation and as each tool is obedient to the intention of the speaker.

How do you convince people to go to war? There are respective fixed points in the war communicative program.

The creation of the enemy – the enemy must be. There is no war without him;
Name the enemy, preferably as the top threat to peace;
To present an enemy as unworthy of the life of a cockroach to be eradicated;
Instiling fear, creating “proofs” of aggressive enemy intentions;
To fuel the fear of survival;
To fuel fear, by repeating the fabricated or actual atrocities committed by the enemy;
The condemnation of pacifists as cowards or spies acting in the benefit of the enemy;
Using fear for a media imagination of a victorious fight against the enemy.

The way to overcome this emotional difficulty is simple: dehumanize the enemy! This happens practically automatically as shortly as the group is considered to be an enemy, or “their”. However, this requires linguistic help: bad people must be given a name. And erstwhile they get it, the name becomes meaningful. Boom! Now it's a weapon. Everyone given that name is immediately dehumanized. Language is the first weapon of war and an essential tool for those who lead it.

Preparations for war begin with an appropriate choice of words in the media. Their goal is always fear. As in the 2020 sanitary war, so now the intimidated man will agree to the most absurd proposals. It's like committing suicide with fear of death. Is the threat of war real? past shows that if there are forces actively calling for war, sooner or later they will accomplish their goal.

History is based on past times. Slowly, but clearly, the number of more and more conscious people is growing, which is what we are truly fighting for here. There'll always be ostriches covering their eyes to not know the truth. Brave and inquisitive people will influence the future past of the world. For ostriches nature predicted vultures:
