You are an expert in the bandwagon manipulation technique. Bandwagon (Appeal to People): Encourages people to follow the crowd by suggesting everyone else is doing it. List phrases that provide evidence of bandwagon in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the bandwagon manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements as false positives in the Bandwagon (Appeal to People) category, it is important to establish clear guidelines to differentiate between genuine bandwagon appeals and statements that may not fit this classification. Here are the revised guidelines:

### Guidelines for Classifying Bandwagon Examples

1. **Identify Collective Action**:
   - Look for phrases that explicitly encourage individuals to conform to behavior or opinions that a majority or a specified group supports. Words like "everyone," "all," "most," or "together" are strong indicators of a bandwagon appeal.
   - Example: “Join everyone who is supporting the army this way!”

2. **Avoid Contextual Statements**:
   - Statements that share factual information, personal experiences, or non-persuasive narratives should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. For instance, reporting on the number of participants in an event without encouraging others to join doesn’t qualify.
   - Example: “Over 1,000 people attended the concert” is factual and does not imply action.

3. **Examine Emotional Appeals**:
   - Statements that play on emotions without urging agreement or action based on majority behavior may not be bandwagon appeals. Emotional statements about loss, pride, or resistance should be carefully scrutinized.
   - Example: “We are proud of our soldiers fighting for our country!” highlights pride without suggesting everyone should feel or act similarly.

4. **Consider Invitations vs. Dictates**:
   - When the statement merely invites participation without the pressure of conformity, it may not be a bandwagon appeal.
   - Example: “Feel free to join the movement if you believe in it” does not impose social pressure.

5. **Look for Group Cohesion**:
   - The presence of language that promotes unity or group identity can indicate a bandwagon effect, particularly if it implies that not joining contradicts community values.
   - Example: “Together we will fight against the invaders!” suggests a collective action.

6. **Focus on Persuasive Language**:
   - Strong persuasive language intended to sway opinions based on collective behavior is a key sign of bandwagon appeals. Look for calls to action that suggest one might be left out if they do not conform.
   - Example: “Don’t be the only one who isn’t supporting this initiative!” indicates a strong bandwagon appeal.

7. **Exclude Neutral Observations**:
   - Statements that neutrally observe a trend, behavior, or event should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. This includes straightforward medical, social, or economic observations.
   - Example: “Many citizens registered for assistance” can simply be informative without urging action.

8. **Contextual Understanding**:
   - Consider the larger context. If a statement is part of a wider message that builds a sense of urgency or community action, it may qualify as an appeal to the bandwagon effect, even if it does not do so explicitly.

### Applying the Guidelines:

When reviewing a statement, ask the following questions:
- Does the statement imply that one should conform to the actions or beliefs of a majority?
- Is it pushing a specific action based on perceived popular support?
- Is the language designed to make individuals feel pressure to join in or express agreement?

### Sample Classifications:

1. **Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Everyone is joining the support event; you should too!"
   - "Join the thousands who are standing together against aggression!"

2. **Do Not Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Many people attended the event; it was a great success."
   - "Our soldiers did a commendable job under difficult circumstances."

By implementing these refined guidelines, the classifier can more accurately identify and reduce false positives in the Bandwagon category.

Ще у вересні Миколаївська ОВА та HD Hyundai Construction Equipment підписали меморандуми про співпрацю. Маємо намір працювати у сфері відбудови та освіти.
Не хотів про це казати завчасно, але вже можна, адже є перший результат. В рамках меморандуму компанія Hyundai надасть нам будівельне обладнання, яке вкрай необхідне для відбудови регіону.
Вже зараз до нас прямують два сучасних гусеничних екскаватори. Крім того, чекаємо ще на три одиниці техніки. Також зараз проводимо перемовини про розширення співпраці.
Для нас важливим є новітній корейський досвід у сфері технологій та транспорту. Дякую нашим партнерам за підтримку - це зараз нам дуже необхідно.
Додам, що Республіка Корея системно підтримує Україну. Під час саміту G20 Президент Південної Кореї Юн Сок Йол заявив про надання Україні $2,3 млрд фінансової допомоги на відновлення з 2025 року. Також у 2024 році Україна отримає від Південної Кореї $394 млн, що перевищує обсяг фінансової допомоги за 2023 рік у вісім разів.

 Росіяни поширюють інформацію, начебто Україна веде бойові дії «незаконно», бо не оголошувала рф війни, що може обернутися судами і відмовою у підтримці з боку західних партнерів.
❗
Меседж про «незаконну та неоголошену війну» є грубою маніпуляцією кремля і розповсюджується роками. Згідно з міжнародним правом, події в Україні є війною і порушенням суверенітету.
▪
 Україна вже підписала договір у сфері безпеки з Великою Британією, який став продовженням Спільної декларації про підтримку країн G7. Він діятиме до вступу в НАТО і надасть безпекові гарантії у випадку чергової агресії з боку рф.
▪
 Про готовність до підписання таких самих договорів вже заявили представники Канади та Франції, що засвідчує наявність в України потужних союзників.
▪
 Робота щодо укладання відповідних угод ведеться й з іншими країнами G7.
▪
 У березні 2023 р. Міжнародний кримінальний суд у Гаазі видав ордер на арешт президента рф через викрадення українських дітей.

   - Statements that play on emotions without urging agreement or action based on majority behavior may not be bandwagon appeals. Emotional statements about loss, pride, or resistance should be carefully scrutinized.
   - Example: “We are proud of our soldiers fighting for our country!” highlights pride without suggesting everyone should feel or act similarly.

4. **Consider Invitations vs. Dictates**:
   - When the statement merely invites participation without the pressure of conformity, it may not be a bandwagon appeal.
   - Example: “Feel free to join the movement if you believe in it” does not impose social pressure.

5. **Look for Group Cohesion**:
   - The presence of language that promotes unity or group identity can indicate a bandwagon effect, particularly if it implies that not joining contradicts community values.
   - Example: “Together we will fight against the invaders!” suggests a collective action.

6. **Focus on Persuasive Language**:
   - Strong persuasive language intended to sway opinions based on collective behavior is a key sign of bandwagon appeals. Look for calls to action that suggest one might be left out if they do not conform.
   - Example: “Don’t be the only one who isn’t supporting this initiative!” indicates a strong bandwagon appeal.

7. **Exclude Neutral Observations**:
   - Statements that neutrally observe a trend, behavior, or event should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. This includes straightforward medical, social, or economic observations.
   - Example: “Many citizens registered for assistance” can simply be informative without urging action.

8. **Contextual Understanding**:
   - Consider the larger context. If a statement is part of a wider message that builds a sense of urgency or community action, it may qualify as an appeal to the bandwagon effect, even if it does not do so explicitly.

### Applying the Guidelines:

When reviewing a statement, ask the following questions:
- Does the statement imply that one should conform to the actions or beliefs of a majority?
- Is it pushing a specific action based on perceived popular support?
- Is the language designed to make individuals feel pressure to join in or express agreement?

### Sample Classifications:

1. **Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Everyone is joining the support event; you should too!"
   - "Join the thousands who are standing together against aggression!"

2. **Do Not Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Many people attended the event; it was a great success."
   - "Our soldiers did a commendable job under difficult circumstances."

By implementing these refined guidelines, the classifier can more accurately identify and reduce false positives in the Bandwagon category.

Российские СМИ сообщают, что на ресурсах "Группы Вагнера" начали появляться предложения для сотрудников ОМОН, СОБР, ГРОМ и других полицейских структур. В этих объявлениях силовикам предлагается вступать в ряды военной полиции "Группы Вагнера". Предполагается, что такая военная полиция будет надзирать не только за наемниками самой группы, но и за регулярными частями ВС РФ.

List phrases that provide evidence of bandwagon in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the bandwagon manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements as false positives in the Bandwagon (Appeal to People) category, it is important to establish clear guidelines to differentiate between genuine bandwagon appeals and statements that may not fit this classification. Here are the revised guidelines:

### Guidelines for Classifying Bandwagon Examples

1. **Identify Collective Action**:
   - Look for phrases that explicitly encourage individuals to conform to behavior or opinions that a majority or a specified group supports. Words like "everyone," "all," "most," or "together" are strong indicators of a bandwagon appeal.
   - Example: “Join everyone who is supporting the army this way!”

2. **Avoid Contextual Statements**:
   - Statements that share factual information, personal experiences, or non-persuasive narratives should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. For instance, reporting on the number of participants in an event without encouraging others to join doesn’t qualify.
   - Example: “Over 1,000 people attended the concert” is factual and does not imply action.

3. **Examine Emotional Appeals**:
   - Statements that play on emotions without urging agreement or action based on majority behavior may not be bandwagon appeals. Emotional statements about loss, pride, or resistance should be carefully scrutinized.

Як думаєте, якого року це фото?
Це 30 листопада 1991-го – мітинг у Києві у переддень референдуму про незалежність України.
1 грудня 32 роки тому на референдумі 90% українців проголосували за незалежність. Усього участь у голосуванні взяли 84% населення країни – майже 32 мільйони людей.
▫
Яким був настрій українців поза цифрами?
▫
Як вони уявляли незалежність?
▫
Як сприймали себе і свою ідентичність?
Відповіді на ці питання пропонує знаний соціолог, директор Інституту соціології Національної академії наук України Євген Головаха у
#подкастнапамять
💬
«На момент виникнення незалежної української держави були дуже великі оптимістичні настрої
, – каже Євген Головаха. –
Це був дуже нереалістичний оптимізм. Ми тоді опитували людей, і вони казали, що от вже через кілька місяців усе налагодиться: зʼявляться товари в крамницях, почнуть нормально виплачувати зарплату, пенсії. Люди вірили, що сам факт незалежності – це вже передумова матеріального благополуччя. Не кажучи вже про те, що вони бачили це як можливість національно-культурної самореалізації – для багатьох, особливо на заході і в центрі України, це було важливо»
.
Важливий момент, на якому наголошує Євген Головаха: попри швидкий спад оптимізму в наступні роки, повʼязаний із тим, що розвіялися нереалістичні ілюзії про швидке благополуччя, яке має настати само собою, –
«люди не відмовлялися від незалежності»
.
💬
«Тобто люди почали оцінювати зміни як негативні, але переважна більшість продовжувала вважати, що Україна зробила правильний вибір, що стала незалежною державою»

У Німеччині незнайомець почав вимагати від українськомовних дітей розмовляти російською, після чого потягнув дівчинку за волосся, а 10-річного хлопчика   скинув з моста в канал
📌
Сказав дітям, що це Україна почала війну. Хлопчик при падінні дарився об залізні балки, отримав поранення голови та стопи. Коли він лежав у каналі, злочинець кинув у нього скляну пляшку, поціли у плече.
📌
Після цього невідомий зник з місця злочину. Йому 40-45 років. Поліція розшукує його через замах на неумисне вбивство.

   - Statements that neutrally observe a trend, behavior, or event should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. This includes straightforward medical, social, or economic observations.
   - Example: “Many citizens registered for assistance” can simply be informative without urging action.

8. **Contextual Understanding**:
   - Consider the larger context. If a statement is part of a wider message that builds a sense of urgency or community action, it may qualify as an appeal to the bandwagon effect, even if it does not do so explicitly.

### Applying the Guidelines:

When reviewing a statement, ask the following questions:
- Does the statement imply that one should conform to the actions or beliefs of a majority?
- Is it pushing a specific action based on perceived popular support?
- Is the language designed to make individuals feel pressure to join in or express agreement?

### Sample Classifications:

1. **Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Everyone is joining the support event; you should too!"
   - "Join the thousands who are standing together against aggression!"

2. **Do Not Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Many people attended the event; it was a great success."
   - "Our soldiers did a commendable job under difficult circumstances."

By implementing these refined guidelines, the classifier can more accurately identify and reduce false positives in the Bandwagon category.

Шановні колеги, бойові побратими!

▫
 Прийміть щирі вітання з нагоди Дня Збройних Сил України!
▫
 Сучасні, динамічні, здатні швидко трансформуватися в умовах кривавої, жорстокої війни, готові до будь-яких загрозливих сценаріїв кремлівських окупантів – такими є сьогодні Збройні Сили України.
▫
 Одним із найважливіших факторів зростання їх могутності є впровадження та імплементація принципів і стандартів НАТО.
Ми всі – єдиний монолітний воєнний організм.
▫
 Із перших днів широкомасштабного вторгнення разом стали на захист нашої державності, зламавши неоімперіалістичні плани рашистів загнати Український народ            у рабство й поневолення. Нас не перемогти!
▫
 Ми нещадно нищимо ворогів, мужньо й самовіддано б’ємося за свою незалежність, відвойовуючи кожен клаптик рідної землі.
▫
 Протягом усіх періодів історії – від Середньовіччя до сьогодення – московія зазнавала багато поразок від різних країн, але цією війною путінська росія підписала собі смертний вирок.
▫
 Ще Богдан Хмельницький казав, що правда, гніт і неволя викликають сувору помсту з боку справедливості, щоб Божі постанови проявлялись у всьому на очах живих людей.
▫
 Ми помстимося за українців, які загинули від рук нелюдів, за наших побратимів, які боролися до останнього подиху, за дітей, у яких війна забрала дитинство. Ми знищимо окупантів, а військові та політичні злочинці будуть притягнуті до справедливої відповідальності.
🇺🇦
 Слава Збройним Силам України!
🇺🇦
 Слава Україні!

 Слава її Героям!

You are an expert in the bandwagon manipulation technique. Bandwagon (Appeal to People): Encourages people to follow the crowd by suggesting everyone else is doing it. List phrases that provide evidence of bandwagon in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the bandwagon manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements as false positives in the Bandwagon (Appeal to People) category, it is important to establish clear guidelines to differentiate between genuine bandwagon appeals and statements that may not fit this classification. Here are the revised guidelines:

### Guidelines for Classifying Bandwagon Examples

1. **Identify Collective Action**:
   - Look for phrases that explicitly encourage individuals to conform to behavior or opinions that a majority or a specified group supports. Words like "everyone," "all," "most," or "together" are strong indicators of a bandwagon appeal.
   - Example: “Join everyone who is supporting the army this way!”

2. **Avoid Contextual Statements**:
   - Statements that share factual information, personal experiences, or non-persuasive narratives should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. For instance, reporting on the number of participants in an event without encouraging others to join doesn’t qualify.
   - Example: “Over 1,000 people attended the concert” is factual and does not imply action.

3. **Examine Emotional Appeals**:
   - Statements that play on emotions without urging agreement or action based on majority behavior may not be bandwagon appeals. Emotional statements about loss, pride, or resistance should be carefully scrutinized.
   - Example: “We are proud of our soldiers fighting for our country!” highlights pride without suggesting everyone should feel or act similarly.

4. **Consider Invitations vs. Dictates**:
   - When the statement merely invites participation without the pressure of conformity, it may not be a bandwagon appeal.
   - Example: “Feel free to join the movement if you believe in it” does not impose social pressure.

5. **Look for Group Cohesion**:
   - The presence of language that promotes unity or group identity can indicate a bandwagon effect, particularly if it implies that not joining contradicts community values.
   - Example: “Together we will fight against the invaders!” suggests a collective action.

6. **Focus on Persuasive Language**:
   - Strong persuasive language intended to sway opinions based on collective behavior is a key sign of bandwagon appeals. Look for calls to action that suggest one might be left out if they do not conform.
   - Example: “Don’t be the only one who isn’t supporting this initiative!” indicates a strong bandwagon appeal.

7. **Exclude Neutral Observations**:
   - Statements that neutrally observe a trend, behavior, or event should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. This includes straightforward medical, social, or economic observations.
   - Example: “Many citizens registered for assistance” can simply be informative without urging action.

Будни Африканского континента. Французский солдат застрелил очередного местного жителя во время словесного конфликта в Чаде.
Как следствие, в стране начались протесты, ведь колонизаторы с лицензией на убийство - это наследие дикого капитализма, которое необходимо уничтожить как можно скорее.

Смерть бывшего руководителя Херсонской областной государственной администрации Геннадия Лагуты сразу обратила на себя внимание. Не только потому, что умершему было всего 49 лет.
Сразу после известия о кончине пошли слухи, что экс-глава ОГА на самом деле покончил с собой.
Позже они были официально подтверждены. Это, в свою очередь, вызвало серьезные подозрения.
Ведь именно Лагута возглавлял Херсонскую область в момент полномасштабного вторжения России в Украину и, конечно, знал во многих деталях, как захватывался и регион, и сам Херсон. И, возможно, мог ответить на вопрос, почему это россиянам удалось сделать так быстро. А также - какова была роль в этом военно-политического руководства страны.
Кроме того, Лагута был человеком мэра Херсона Игоря Колыхаева, который несколько месяцев руководил городом уже после его захвата. Некоторые комментаторы обратили внимание, что новость о смерти Лагуты появилась почти одновременно с сообщением о появлении мэра Херсона в списке пленных у РФ после более года неизвестности о его судьбе.
Так или иначе, но смерть Лагуты тут же породила слухи, что она может быть неслучайной.

Думаю, більшість містян вже помітили, що поступово Харків позбувся практично всієї реклами у комунальному громадському транспорті. Ту незначну частину оголошень, які досі захаращують вагони метро, трамваї, тролейбуси та автобуси, ми не прибрали тільки тому, що строки дії  договорів на їхнє розміщення ще не закінчилися.
Наприклад, зараз стіни та колони станції метро "Історичний музей”, як я і обіцяв, прикрашають чудові дитячі малюнки. І цю добру традицію ми будемо продовжувати й надалі.

Ну, координаты своей квартиры я знаю, «Таурусы» скоро будут - ебеньте, ребят. Для меня ничего нового.
А вот дурачков жалко. Все плашки ставили, надеялись квартирки свои спасти.
Что ж я так ржу-то в последнее время, господи…
