You are an expert in the appeal_to_fear manipulation technique. Appeal to Fear: Uses fear to influence the audience, often exaggerating risks or consequences. List phrases that provide evidence of appeal_to_fear in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the appeal_to_fear manipulation.
To enhance the effectiveness of classifying statements as "Appeal to Fear" or not, it's essential to establish clear guidelines that address the nuances within the language. This will help reduce false positives (statements incorrectly classified as Appeals to Fear) and false negatives (statements that should be classified but aren't). Below are the classification guidelines tailored to your needs:

### Classification Guidelines for Identifying "Appeal to Fear"

1. **Identify Emotional Triggers**:
    - Look for words or phrases that evoke strong emotions, particularly fear or anxiety. Examples include "danger," "threat," "attack," "attackers," "panic," "terror," etc.
    - Phrases that suggest grave consequences, such as "you could lose everything" or "your life is at risk," should be flagged.

2. **Assess the Context**:
    - Consider the context surrounding the statement. Is the statement exaggerating the risks or downplaying positive outcomes? For instance, stating "If this policy goes into effect, chaos will ensue" suggests a fear-driven narrative.
    - Ensure that the statement explicitly connects potential or fictitious outcomes with fear-inducing language.

3. **Exaggeration and Hyperbole**:
    - Identify any exaggeration in claims about risks or consequences. For example, claims that imply imminent doom or catastrophic scenarios without concrete evidence (e.g., "we will face disaster if we don’t act immediately") are likely Appeals to Fear.

4. **Generalization and Placeholders**:
    - Watch for generalizations that overstate a situation or condition, such as "All people will suffer if this continues," or vagueness paired with urgent calls for action (e.g., "We must act now to prevent disaster.").
    - Sentences that use generalized language about groups (e.g., "The enemy aims to destroy all of us") should be scrutinized.

5. **Call to Action Driven by Fear**:
    - If the statement attempts to provoke a specific action based on fear (like urging people to stockpile resources or avoid certain behaviors), classify it as an Appeal to Fear.
    - Examine if the phrasing implies a need for immediate action to prevent an exaggerated negative outcome (e.g., "You must protect yourself because it’s too dangerous outside.").

6. **Separation of Facts from Fear Induction**:
    - When statements include facts but are framed in a manner to induce fear, they should be classified accordingly. Example: "Due to the recent turmoil, many lives were lost; prepare for more casualties if this continues" uses factual context to create a fear appeal.

7. **Inversions of Hope**:
    - Statements that flip hope into fear, such as "If we don’t get help soon, the consequences will be dire," typically classify as Appeals to Fear, especially when they threaten loss or disaster.

8. **Avoid Over-Classification**:
    - Not every negative statement or expression of concern constitutes an Appeal to Fear. Statements that are straightforward reports (e.g., "There was an incident today") without emotional language or calls to action should not be classified as Appeals to Fear.
    - Comments that reflect personal feelings or subjective experiences (e.g., "I fear for my family") should be treated as personal expressions rather than objective Appeals to Fear unless they are used in a manipulative context.

### Examples

- **True Appeal to Fear**: "If we don't strengthen our defenses, we risk invasion and total destruction." (Emotional, urgent, exaggerated risk)
- **False Positive**: "Our city is under threat of flooding." (While concerning, this is factual reporting without fear induction.)
- **False Negative**: "The enemy never sleeps; they are plotting our downfall as we speak." (This should be classified as an Appeal to Fear due to its exaggeration and fear-inducing nature.)

### Conclusion
Utilizing these guidelines will help discern between legitimate Appeals to Fear and statements that are merely negative or factual. Aim to distinguish the emotional tone and intent behind the language used, which is crucial for accurate classification.

З другої спроби ВККС дозволило судді Андрію Мазниці вершити правосуддя.
Нагадаємо: 15.11.2023 рішенням №51/пс-236 Друга палата ВККС 4 голосами проти 3 відмовилася внести подання про відрядження цього судді.
Тоді ми зверталися до ВККС із проханням не робити цього – та нас почули.
Наприкінці 2023 року термін попереднього відрядження судді Мазниці сплив і суддя припинив чинити правосуддя. Він визнаний таким, що не відповідає посаді, проте не звільнений і залишився у непрацюючому суді. Може судити тільки в разі відрядження його ВККС до іншого суду.
06.03.2024 Друга палата ВККС внесла до ВРП подання про відрядження цього судді та двох інших.
Ці судді не пройшли оцінювання у 2018 році та підлягають звільненню.
Наші джерела у ВККС підтверджують, що питанням відрядження дніпровських суддів опікувався Сергій Чумак, який навіть коментарі в Фейсбук писав, що зради немає та все під контролем.
Хто такий Андрій Мазниця?!
1. У грудні 2011 року президент Янукович «десантував» дніпровських суддів Чорнобука та Мазницю у Крим вершити правосуддя, призначивши фігуранта заступником голови Апеляційного суду АР Крим. З якою метою в часи Януковича призначали керманичів судів з інших регіонів, усім відомо.
2. Суддя Мазниця так був захоплений Януковичем, що на сайті суду свою фотографію розмістив на фоні портрету президента.
3. Після окупації Криму рф суддя Чорнобук та Мазниця не виїхали з Криму.
4. Місцеві активісти говорять, що вони вдвох знімали український прапор з будівлі суду та піднімали триколор.
5. Суддя Чорнобук в інтерв’ю казав, що судді не давали присягу президенту чи народу, вони давали присягу судді. Тому кримські судді будуть вершити правосуддя на підставі конституції рф. Ось інтерв’ю:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=YbLsuqw3sfY
6. У сюжеті Слідство.інфо
(https://www.slidstvo.info/.../pidozryuvanoho-v.../
) йдеться і про повідомлення на сайті суду апеляційного суду із закликом до суддів приймати громадянство рф.
7. Чорнобук із Мазницею проводили семінар для кримських суддів з азів російського законодавства:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=QaMyP-zxN2Q&embeds_referring_euri=https://zmina.info/&feature=emb_imp_woyt
Зверніть увагу: Мазниця заходить до зали разом із Чорнобуком, знаходиться в президії, а після виступу Чорнобука йде до трибуни продовжувати лекцію.
8. Пізніше їх обох викунили з Криму, згадавши їх продажність у 2012-2013 роках.
Під час оцінювання Мазниця буде говорити, що в нього не було вибору, але це не так. Він був у президії з Чорнобуком і виступав із лекцією щодо того, як кримським суддям застосовувати російське законодавство – жодних висловлювань про незгоду відео не містять.
Стара ВККС визнала його таким, що не відповідає посаді судді.
Чорнобука судять за статтею 111 КК України – державна зрада, а його «праву руку» Андрія Мазницю нова – доброчесна – ВККС за лобіюванням члена ВККС Сергія Чумака відряджає відправляти правосуддя іменем України.
Нова ВККС не звернула увагу (або умисно не захотіла звертати, адже ми повідомляли ці обставини) на це та ініціювала подання про право Мазниці вершити правосуддя іменем України.
Вітаємо всіх причетних.

Рік тому, 24 лютого, життя переважної більшості українців назавжди розділилося на «до» і «після».

Вже 365 днів світ живе в умовах нової масштабної війни просто в Європі.

Ніхто в світі не давав Україні жодного шансу вистояти проти навали рociян. Проте ми створили диво. І дали гідну відсіч.

У перший же день широкомасштабного вторгнення Росії в Україну до лав Сил територіальної оборони та інших родів військ ЗСУ приєднались десятки тисяч добровольців.
Ми відстояли Київ, вигнали окупантів з Київщини, Чернігівщини, Сумщини та Харківщини. Звільнили Куп’янськ, Ізюм, Балаклію, Лиман, Херсон та низку інших міст і сіл.

Бо між свободою і рабством обрали свободу. Між демократією і диктатурою – демократію. Між процвітанням і прірвою – процвітання.

Успіхи оборони чи контрнаступу нашого війська не беруться нізвідки. Вони мають ціну: це наші загиблі та поранені воїни. Схиляємо голови перед їхніми рідними.
Ми доведемо до кінця нашу спільну справу і завершимо цю війну, щоб жити у вільній демократичній Україні під мирним небом.
🇺🇦
Слава Україні! Героям слава!
🇺🇦

 Літні прогулянки та відпочинок на природі можуть збільшити ризик укусів різних комах, а також змій. Підготували прості поради для першої допомоги та полегшення симптомів.
Укуси більшості комах не несуть небезпеки, а просто викликають свербіж і набряк, які зазвичай зникають протягом кількох днів.
‼
 У разі виникнення таких симптомів, як проблеми з диханням, набряк губ, обличчя, повік або горла, запаморочення, непритомність, слабкий і прискорений пульс, висип, нудота, блювання або діарея, негайно зверніться за допомогою до лікаря.
Крім комах, на природі можна зустрітися зі зміями. В Україні живуть три види отруйних гадюк, чия отрута небезпечна, але в більшості випадків несмертельна. Якщо вас чи знайомих вкусила змія, обов’язково зверніться за медичною допомогою!

### Classification Guidelines for Identifying "Appeal to Fear"

1. **Identify Emotional Triggers**:
    - Look for words or phrases that evoke strong emotions, particularly fear or anxiety. Examples include "danger," "threat," "attack," "attackers," "panic," "terror," etc.
    - Phrases that suggest grave consequences, such as "you could lose everything" or "your life is at risk," should be flagged.

2. **Assess the Context**:
    - Consider the context surrounding the statement. Is the statement exaggerating the risks or downplaying positive outcomes? For instance, stating "If this policy goes into effect, chaos will ensue" suggests a fear-driven narrative.
    - Ensure that the statement explicitly connects potential or fictitious outcomes with fear-inducing language.

3. **Exaggeration and Hyperbole**:
    - Identify any exaggeration in claims about risks or consequences. For example, claims that imply imminent doom or catastrophic scenarios without concrete evidence (e.g., "we will face disaster if we don’t act immediately") are likely Appeals to Fear.

4. **Generalization and Placeholders**:
    - Watch for generalizations that overstate a situation or condition, such as "All people will suffer if this continues," or vagueness paired with urgent calls for action (e.g., "We must act now to prevent disaster.").
    - Sentences that use generalized language about groups (e.g., "The enemy aims to destroy all of us") should be scrutinized.

5. **Call to Action Driven by Fear**:
    - If the statement attempts to provoke a specific action based on fear (like urging people to stockpile resources or avoid certain behaviors), classify it as an Appeal to Fear.
    - Examine if the phrasing implies a need for immediate action to prevent an exaggerated negative outcome (e.g., "You must protect yourself because it’s too dangerous outside.").

6. **Separation of Facts from Fear Induction**:
    - When statements include facts but are framed in a manner to induce fear, they should be classified accordingly. Example: "Due to the recent turmoil, many lives were lost; prepare for more casualties if this continues" uses factual context to create a fear appeal.

7. **Inversions of Hope**:
    - Statements that flip hope into fear, such as "If we don’t get help soon, the consequences will be dire," typically classify as Appeals to Fear, especially when they threaten loss or disaster.

8. **Avoid Over-Classification**:
    - Not every negative statement or expression of concern constitutes an Appeal to Fear. Statements that are straightforward reports (e.g., "There was an incident today") without emotional language or calls to action should not be classified as Appeals to Fear.
    - Comments that reflect personal feelings or subjective experiences (e.g., "I fear for my family") should be treated as personal expressions rather than objective Appeals to Fear unless they are used in a manipulative context.

### Examples

- **True Appeal to Fear**: "If we don't strengthen our defenses, we risk invasion and total destruction." (Emotional, urgent, exaggerated risk)
- **False Positive**: "Our city is under threat of flooding." (While concerning, this is factual reporting without fear induction.)
- **False Negative**: "The enemy never sleeps; they are plotting our downfall as we speak." (This should be classified as an Appeal to Fear due to its exaggeration and fear-inducing nature.)

This will help reduce false positives (statements incorrectly classified as Appeals to Fear) and false negatives (statements that should be classified but aren't). Below are the classification guidelines tailored to your needs:

### Classification Guidelines for Identifying "Appeal to Fear"

1. **Identify Emotional Triggers**:
    - Look for words or phrases that evoke strong emotions, particularly fear or anxiety. Examples include "danger," "threat," "attack," "attackers," "panic," "terror," etc.
    - Phrases that suggest grave consequences, such as "you could lose everything" or "your life is at risk," should be flagged.

2. **Assess the Context**:
    - Consider the context surrounding the statement. Is the statement exaggerating the risks or downplaying positive outcomes? For instance, stating "If this policy goes into effect, chaos will ensue" suggests a fear-driven narrative.
    - Ensure that the statement explicitly connects potential or fictitious outcomes with fear-inducing language.

3. **Exaggeration and Hyperbole**:
    - Identify any exaggeration in claims about risks or consequences. For example, claims that imply imminent doom or catastrophic scenarios without concrete evidence (e.g., "we will face disaster if we don’t act immediately") are likely Appeals to Fear.

4. **Generalization and Placeholders**:
    - Watch for generalizations that overstate a situation or condition, such as "All people will suffer if this continues," or vagueness paired with urgent calls for action (e.g., "We must act now to prevent disaster.").
    - Sentences that use generalized language about groups (e.g., "The enemy aims to destroy all of us") should be scrutinized.

5. **Call to Action Driven by Fear**:
    - If the statement attempts to provoke a specific action based on fear (like urging people to stockpile resources or avoid certain behaviors), classify it as an Appeal to Fear.
    - Examine if the phrasing implies a need for immediate action to prevent an exaggerated negative outcome (e.g., "You must protect yourself because it’s too dangerous outside.").

6. **Separation of Facts from Fear Induction**:
    - When statements include facts but are framed in a manner to induce fear, they should be classified accordingly. Example: "Due to the recent turmoil, many lives were lost; prepare for more casualties if this continues" uses factual context to create a fear appeal.

7. **Inversions of Hope**:
    - Statements that flip hope into fear, such as "If we don’t get help soon, the consequences will be dire," typically classify as Appeals to Fear, especially when they threaten loss or disaster.

8. **Avoid Over-Classification**:
    - Not every negative statement or expression of concern constitutes an Appeal to Fear. Statements that are straightforward reports (e.g., "There was an incident today") without emotional language or calls to action should not be classified as Appeals to Fear.
    - Comments that reflect personal feelings or subjective experiences (e.g., "I fear for my family") should be treated as personal expressions rather than objective Appeals to Fear unless they are used in a manipulative context.

### Examples

- **True Appeal to Fear**: "If we don't strengthen our defenses, we risk invasion and total destruction." (Emotional, urgent, exaggerated risk)
- **False Positive**: "Our city is under threat of flooding." (While concerning, this is factual reporting without fear induction.)
- **False Negative**: "The enemy never sleeps; they are plotting our downfall as we speak." (This should be classified as an Appeal to Fear due to its exaggeration and fear-inducing nature.)

### Conclusion
Utilizing these guidelines will help discern between legitimate Appeals to Fear and statements that are merely negative or factual. Aim to distinguish the emotional tone and intent behind the language used, which is crucial for accurate classification.

Вчера жителям посёлка Улан Хол в Калмыкии прилетело "счастье". Название этого счастья -
крылатая ракета Х-101
.
Как известно, вчера по территории Украины ракетных пуском Х-101 не осуществлялось. У жителей Улан Хола, что в Калмыкии, возникает закономерный вопрос - и шо это было?
Разумеется, следует провести расследование и установить причину падения ракеты в этом экзотическом зажопье. Но расследование проведено не будет. Почему? Да потому, что это был нештатный пуск, обусловленный технической неисправностью, что сейчас не редкость.
Ракета отправилась в свободный и неконтролируемый полёт, по одной простой причине - что авиация, что выпускаемые сейчас в россии ракеты, не проходят регламентного технического обслуживания и технического контроля. В следствие этого отмечается рост ЧП.
Ракеты сбиваются с курса, меняют траекторию, у них отказывает топливная система и они падают, они попросту взрываются в воздухе. За последние месяцы, когда ракеты стали производить и отправлять в авральном режиме, сразу в БК, таких инцидентов стало в разы больше.
Но одно дело, когда по Украине совершают массовые ракетный пуск и жители сел и городов по маршруту следования ракет должны тоже прятаться по подвалам, а совсем другое, когда в обычные дни, между пусками, ракеты начинают падать на россиян... ну или калмыков.
И вот как тут не вспомнить шутку про Воронеж, в которой на самом деле от шутки где-то примерно 1-2%, а всё остальное - правда. Хотя, Белгород с недавних пор у Воронежа явно перенял лавры и скоро именно он станет героем мемов и прочих шуток, в которых от шутки 1-2%.

[User] Ким Иверсен, американская журналистка, в интервью со Скоттом Риттером задалась вопросом, почему вдруг Зеленский начал говорить о поражении. «Для меня это так странно. Вся риторика на протяжении всей этой войны сводилась к следующему: “Мы не остановимся, пока не вернем Донбасс и Крым. Мы будем продолжать наступление”. Западные страны заявляли: “Мы не перестанем вооружать вас, пока не оттесним Россию. Мы не можем позволить себе проиграть эту войну”».  Отчего же вдруг такие резкие перемены в повествовании? «Это просто … не умещается у меня в голове, - удивляется журналистка, - если только не признать, что все это время Зеленский на самом деле просто был марионеткой Запада, как многие из нас подозревали. Что он на самом деле не действует от своего имени или в интересах своей страны... То, что он так внезапно поменял [риторику], заставляет меня подумать, что меняется сам Запад. Запад говорит Зеленскому, что “все кончено, люди устали, наше население больше не хочет финансировать это, мы переключаемся на Китай… и поэтому вы должны как-то покончить с этим”. Иначе это не имеет для меня смысла».

    - Comments that reflect personal feelings or subjective experiences (e.g., "I fear for my family") should be treated as personal expressions rather than objective Appeals to Fear unless they are used in a manipulative context.

### Examples

- **True Appeal to Fear**: "If we don't strengthen our defenses, we risk invasion and total destruction." (Emotional, urgent, exaggerated risk)
- **False Positive**: "Our city is under threat of flooding." (While concerning, this is factual reporting without fear induction.)
- **False Negative**: "The enemy never sleeps; they are plotting our downfall as we speak." (This should be classified as an Appeal to Fear due to its exaggeration and fear-inducing nature.)

### Conclusion
Utilizing these guidelines will help discern between legitimate Appeals to Fear and statements that are merely negative or factual. Aim to distinguish the emotional tone and intent behind the language used, which is crucial for accurate classification.

Для покриття дефіциту бюджету у 2023 році Україна розраховує на фінансову підтримку міжнародних партнерів, зокрема МВФ. Українська сторона виконала всі погоджені з МВФ структурні маяки в рамках Моніторингової програми із залученням Ради директорів Фонду і очікує на початок обговорення повноцінної фінансової програми за підтримки МВФ вже в найближчі тижні. Про це сказав Міністр фінансів України Сергій Марченко під час прямого включення у CNN.
Окрім цього, Сергій Марченко зазначив, що військові облігації – один із ключових інструментів залучення коштів в умовах війни: “Вже через тиждень після повномасштабного вторгнення рф, Міністерство фінансів провело перший аукціон з продажу військових облігацій. З 1 березня 2022 року ми залучили до держбюджету понад 6 млрд доларів США”.
Також Міністр фінансів розповів про фінансові потреби на відновлення та інструмент захисту глобальної фінансової системи від російських загроз.

You are an expert in the appeal_to_fear manipulation technique. Appeal to Fear: Uses fear to influence the audience, often exaggerating risks or consequences. List phrases that provide evidence of appeal_to_fear in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the appeal_to_fear manipulation.
To enhance the effectiveness of classifying statements as "Appeal to Fear" or not, it's essential to establish clear guidelines that address the nuances within the language. This will help reduce false positives (statements incorrectly classified as Appeals to Fear) and false negatives (statements that should be classified but aren't). Below are the classification guidelines tailored to your needs:

### Classification Guidelines for Identifying "Appeal to Fear"

1. **Identify Emotional Triggers**:
    - Look for words or phrases that evoke strong emotions, particularly fear or anxiety. Examples include "danger," "threat," "attack," "attackers," "panic," "terror," etc.
    - Phrases that suggest grave consequences, such as "you could lose everything" or "your life is at risk," should be flagged.

2. **Assess the Context**:
    - Consider the context surrounding the statement. Is the statement exaggerating the risks or downplaying positive outcomes? For instance, stating "If this policy goes into effect, chaos will ensue" suggests a fear-driven narrative.
    - Ensure that the statement explicitly connects potential or fictitious outcomes with fear-inducing language.

3. **Exaggeration and Hyperbole**:
    - Identify any exaggeration in claims about risks or consequences. For example, claims that imply imminent doom or catastrophic scenarios without concrete evidence (e.g., "we will face disaster if we don’t act immediately") are likely Appeals to Fear.

4. **Generalization and Placeholders**:
    - Watch for generalizations that overstate a situation or condition, such as "All people will suffer if this continues," or vagueness paired with urgent calls for action (e.g., "We must act now to prevent disaster.").
    - Sentences that use generalized language about groups (e.g., "The enemy aims to destroy all of us") should be scrutinized.

5. **Call to Action Driven by Fear**:
    - If the statement attempts to provoke a specific action based on fear (like urging people to stockpile resources or avoid certain behaviors), classify it as an Appeal to Fear.
    - Examine if the phrasing implies a need for immediate action to prevent an exaggerated negative outcome (e.g., "You must protect yourself because it’s too dangerous outside.").

6. **Separation of Facts from Fear Induction**:
    - When statements include facts but are framed in a manner to induce fear, they should be classified accordingly. Example: "Due to the recent turmoil, many lives were lost; prepare for more casualties if this continues" uses factual context to create a fear appeal.

7. **Inversions of Hope**:
    - Statements that flip hope into fear, such as "If we don’t get help soon, the consequences will be dire," typically classify as Appeals to Fear, especially when they threaten loss or disaster.

8. **Avoid Over-Classification**:
    - Not every negative statement or expression of concern constitutes an Appeal to Fear. Statements that are straightforward reports (e.g., "There was an incident today") without emotional language or calls to action should not be classified as Appeals to Fear.
    - Comments that reflect personal feelings or subjective experiences (e.g., "I fear for my family") should be treated as personal expressions rather than objective Appeals to Fear unless they are used in a manipulative context.

СБУ затримала у Миколаєві ще одного інформатора фсб, який шпигував за аеродромами ЗСУ.
За даними слідства, зловмисник на початку повномасштабного вторгнення виїхав за кордон та почав активно підтримувати збройну агресію рф, після чого був дистанційно завербований російськими спецслужбами.
Повернувшись в Україну у березні цього року, він намагався виявити можливі локації військових аеродромів з бойовою авіацією ЗСУ.
Від початку повномасштабного вторгнення співробітники Служби безпеки викрили 13 фігурантів.
Ще одним поплічником фсб виявився місцевий житель, який був активним користувачем Телеграм-каналу "Лохматого".
Йому загрожує до 12 років тюрми.

Глава Минобороны Британии Бен Уоллес не смог стать главой НАТО из-за того, что он слишком сильно поддерживает Киев.

Об этом пишет The Telegraph со ссылкой на источники, отмечая, что Уоллес был фаворитом среди кандидатов на этот пост, но Белый дом и Париж выступили против.

Ворог вдарив по Нікопольщині надвечір. Та ще двічі – вночі.
Застосував важку артилерію. Майже півтора десятка снарядів прилетіло по Марганецькій та Червоногригорівській громадах.
Люди не постраждали.
На інших територіях області ніч минула тихо. Без атак.
