Macht es Sinn Plakate zu drucken um politisch Einfluss zu nehmen?
Alle Jahre wieder das gleiche Bild: Die Straßen sind geschmückt mit Politiker-Portraits. Pünktlich zur nächsten Wahl – ob nun für den Land- oder Bundestag – werden die Bürgerinnen und Bürger von jeder Laterne von fröhlichen Politkern angelächelt. Es scheint fast so, als hätten die Politiker pünktlich zur nächsten Wahl das Patentrezept für die Probleme in diesem Land entdeckt und wer sie nicht wählt, der hat letzten Endes schuld an der Misere in diesem Land – so viel zur Theorie, zum Versprechen vor der Wahl. Politiker haben anscheinend ein sehr kurzes Gedächtnis, die Bürger jedoch nicht. Dass sich Franz Müntefering beispielsweise im Jahre 2005 beschwerte, es sei unfair, einen Politiker an seinen Wahlversprechen zu messen, haben die meisten Bürger und Bürgerinnen jedoch nicht vergessen.
Somit stellt sich die berechtigte Frage, ob solche Plakate überhaupt einen Nutzen haben. Um die Umweltbelastung – nach den Wahlen landen die Plakate oftmals als Müll auf den Straßen –, die durch die Plakate entsteht, soll es an dieser Stelle gar nicht gehen. Im Focus steht die Frage, ob sich der Rummel überhaupt immer wieder aufs Neue lohnt. Dass die Bürger es mittlerweile leid sind, zur Wahl zu gehen, wundert nicht. Es sind immer wieder die gleichen Parolen, die auf den Plakaten zu lesen sind. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern war kürzlich die CDU vermeintlich besonders kreativ. „C wie Zukunft“ lautete die Parole auf den Plakaten. Die meisten potentiellen Wähler hatten hierfür nur Kopfschütteln übrig.
Doch es gibt nicht nur Negativ-Beispiele. Momentan noch etwas inhaltslos sind die Piraten. Positiv anrechnen muss man ihnen sie jedoch, dass sie daraus keinen Hehl machen. Straffreiheit im Internet und kostenloser Nahverkehr waren in Berlin ihre Themen. Sie gaben offen zu, dass sie inhaltlich darüber hinaus nicht sehr viel zu bieten haben. Doch diese Offenheit kam beim Wähler an. So erreichten sie am vergangenen Sonntag immerhin 9% und zogen zum ersten Mal in den Berliner Landtag ein. Nicht zuletzt ist dieser Erfolg durch die kreativen Plakate der Piraten zu begründen. So arbeiteten ihren Plakate mit der Meta-Ebene mit Bezug auf Plakate. Konkret hieß das beispielsweise: „Traue keinem Plakat, informiere dich.“
Festzuhalten bleibt, dass konventionelle Plakate mittlerweile gar einen abschreckenden Effekt haben. Sind die Plakate kreativ, können neue Wähler gewonnen werden.
My Theory for Forced Rapport
My life is now exactly how i want it….to be constantly interacting with new people day and night (more sleep would be nice but i have adapted). Also because i am so busy it means i barely use my phone to call girls or text them, the women in my life are the ones i see physically in front of me. I have started to believe that we live in 3 different worlds; In Our Mind, Through Our Eyes and Through Technology. It is ok to use each of them but Through Our Eyes should be the predominent one. So yeah as i was saying….i am constantly interacting all the time, meaning i have discovered a few interesting things which i am putting to good use and seeing the results. One is something i have named as Forced Rapport.
Basically….throughtout my days i talk to alot of girls standing up….and whenever i am talking to people in general i always match body gestures and movements to create some rapport. One thing i noticed over the past few weeks is that a hell of alot of girls that i have been meeting and speaking to cross their legs when they are standing. So i would always match this casually and naturally. I notice all my movements unconsciously, i know what i am doing and can change what i am doing to get to what i want. So if i keep doing something i will notice it, so i kept noticing how i was always crossing my legs to match the movement alot of girls were making.
This led me to an idea…..if i want to create rapport with girls i have just met and…if the average girl i am speaking to crosses her legs when standing and talking….then what would happen if i cross my legs before she does? This can get complex….for starters one thing can happen….she will follow my movement and cross hers as well, therefore forcing the rapport. However….she may not follow the movement, but then this leads to confusion in her thought processes….. Because If she doesnt follow the movement then it means she is not just trying to not build rapport, but in doing so she is also stopping herself from making a body movement she usually makes, therefore changing her behaviour. Which then leads to another thought that if she does follow my movement…will her brain see that as trying to unconsciously create rapport or will it see it as her making a body movement she usually makes? As well…..we could then extend this thought and say that….what if i was to verbally say something that was negative towards her AND THEN make the body movement, would she follow then? (she may follow as she see’s me do it and it reminds her brain that she usually does it so she then does it) It then leads to a thought that would i have to verbally say something to create the stimulus for her to follow my leg movement?
This whole idea really made me think about how we can force rapport or force a connection between two people, based solely on knowing a common trait that the person in front of us is likely to do. For example i noticed the leg crossing, but there could be loads of other common things that girls and people commonly like or do; certain foods and films, music, clothes, anything. This touches on cold reading slightly, but in the use of creating a connection with someone instead of creating interest and intrigue.
Anyway, what i’ll do over the next week or so is test out a few of these ‘Forced Rapport’ ideas and get back to you guys.
Its been fun.
Keep it real.
My Use of the NLP Swish Patern
Over the last few years i really have experimented with every possible self help and personal development idea. I have always been someone who….when i find a new idea i obsess about it until i know every side of it and every possible technique. Its good in some ways, the amount of knowledge i possess will definately benefit me to write well and in my life in general.
At one stage in my personal development road….i purposesly gave myself Approach Anxiety and general fear of women. Everyone asks me why…why would you do this. Well i wanted to test and discover more about myself in regards to what works and what doesnt. Simply because we are all different and some techniques to help us may not work on everyone. I did this by visualising the worst scenario’s imaginable for what would happen if i was to approach a girl. I also purosely approached women in the wrong way and then did something wrong, so that it would create a belief subconsciously. So over about 2 weeks i went through loads of different techniques to see which one really worked best on me to help me cure myself of it. It was a real interesting time as you discover so much about your thinking process and what really makes you happy. Here is a list of the various different techniques that worked to some extent:
- Watching American Pie Beta House ….Watching a film that shows you the fun side of getting women is so motivating. This film was great for that.
- Awareness Exercise: This was a technique where you tihnk of a negative outcome then a positive and it helps your mind realise the difference based on how you feel.
- Imagining a good future outcome: Simply imagine something really good that could happen when you approach a girl.
- Richard Bandler Get the Life You Want: Great book, techniques such as Tips on Flirting and Become More Motivated really helped.
- NLP Swish Pattern
The use of the Swish Pattern was probably the most effective out of them all, which may not shock most as NLP is a powerful tool for therapy. How i used the pattern was different, you see…the swish pattern is used to change a certain behaviour with a more resourceful one. This can be simply done by picturing the negative behaviour, then the new more resourceful one and then overtaking it in your mind. But i did something different…..my aim was to connect the thought in my mind that….approaching women….would make me happy and would get me what i want. Once i did this technique….the next night i went out….i was EXCITED to approach women, i would literally run around a club looking for a hot girl, it was mad! See when i did the swish pattern i did do a few different ways, one was the standard use which replaces or changes a behaviour into another. The way i used it was slightly different, it connected the thought subconsciously of what approaching women will do for me. POWERFUL! It works with any negative behaviour as it connects what taking the action will give you.
Now i’m sure all my readers would want me to explain how i did it, but i cant. Its a technique that if done wrong will obviously disrupt your neurology in a negative way. If you want to use the standard Swish Pattern then by all means do so….but make sure it is done by a Practitioner. There is a reason why you need to have a license to practice NLP
A combination of the techniques above will definately help anyone with a negative behaviour they may be having, not just with women. Your mind is so powerful, everything you think has a profound effect on your life. Your world is a reflection of what you imagine it to be.
Remember that.
If anyone would like more information on the techniques used above….email me. They are ridiculously helpful and will save you alot of money and time.
