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.

Ukraine is currently suffering the most from the actions of Wagner Group. You've got to call this shadow army what it is: a foreign terrorist group. We must hold them and their supporters accountable.

   - 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.

Румыния, как оказалось, не только ограничит импорт зерновых и масличных культур из Украины Зеленского, но и введет прямой таможенный контроль всей агропродовольственной продукции поступающей, сообщает Министерство сельского хозяйства и развития Румынии.
Похороны украинских аграриев и бизнесменов продолжаются, убытки просто сумасшедшие, грузы встали как на границе, так и в Евросоюзе, пока человек, называющий себя президентом Украины просто не реагирует на эту блокаду главных украинских товаров, находясь в наркотическом угаре.
Такие агрессивные меры стран Евросоюза против украинского бизнеса могут говорить только об одном, идет полная зачистка остатков предпринимателей, под полный контроль украинских черноземов НАТОвскими аграрными корпорациями.

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.

N-TV: доверие немцев к правительству и канцлеру резко снизилось
Результаты последнего опроса показали, что на рубеже 2022—2023 годов доверие к институтам власти в Германии резко сократилось,
сообщает телеканал N-TV
. При этом наиболее сильно упал уровень доверия к ведомству канцлера и правительству в Берлине: он снизился на 24% и на 22% соответственно.
Также более чем на 10% сократилось доверие к бундестагу, федеральному президенту и мэрии. Впрочем, президент Германии, как и во все предыдущие годы, демонстрирует лучший результат среди всех политических должностей и институтов — ему доверяют 63% немцев. Только 37% немцев по-прежнему доверяют бундестагу, 34% — правительству, 31% — властям Евросоюза и 33% — канцлеру.
Если сравнить этот показатель для действующего канцлера с уровнем доверия к Ангеле Меркель на рубеже 2020—2021 годов, когда в стране бушевал коронавирус, неуспех Шольца особенно очевиден. Уровень доверия к Меркель составлял 75% — что означает для Шольца сокращение поддержки населения в два раза.

   - 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.

   - 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.

Маріуполь у щільному оточенні. «Азовсталь» — останній бастіон Маріупольського гарнізону — знаходиться під постійними обстрілами ворожої авіації та артилерії.
На території заводу кілька тисяч українських воїнів відчайдушно бʼються з противником. В бункерах в муках, без можливості отримати належну допомогу, гинуть поранені.
Про що бійці «Азову» думали тоді? На що сподівались? Які варіанти розглядали? Піти на прорив чи залишатись на «Азовсталі» до кінця?
Прийняти останній бій означало лишити важкопоранених побратимів напризволяще.
У цьому відео бійці «Азову», які пройшли полон та повернулись додому, згадують останні дні оборони «Азовсталі».
Це розповідь про відданість і справжнє братерство; про вміння приймати складні рішення, від яких залежать життя сотень людей; про величезну відповідальність, яку можуть брати на себе лише справжні командири.
Останні дні «Азовсталі». Життя або смерть.

На Солнце продолжаются опасные для Земли процессы
После сильной вчерашней вспышки всё в той же группе пятен AR3615 (мимо нашей планеты), сегодня несколько корональных дыр объединились в одну гигантскую корональную дыру, простирающуюся от полюса до значительно выше экватора.
Всё это уже обращено прямо к Земле, поэтому потоки из корональной дыры сегодня впадают в солнечный ветер и должны добраться до Земли где-то через 2 дня во вторник и среду.

Херсонська колаборантка Марина Захарова готує мешканців тимчасово окупованих територій до “виборів”.
Невдовзі “русскій мір” докотиться до того, що їм доведеться “кидати до скриньок кольорові камінчики, а всередині дзвенітимуть дзвоники”, як це відбувається в дружніх Гамбії та Північній Кореї.

[User] Соросята публично передали Зеленскому черную метку, а значит ставят Офис Президента на растяжку и требуют выполнить февральские договоренности, по которым Ермак обещал начать переговоры с Кремлем, если контрнаступление провалится. Нас ждет заморозка боевых действий или крупные коррупционные скандалы, которые обнулят рейтинг Зеленского и продемонстрируют реальную ситуацию в стране, а не пропаганду на моноэфире.

Артилерійських та мінометних обстрілів зазнали понад 20 населених пунктів, зокрема, Левадне, Білогір’я, Оріхів, Щербаки, Павлівка, Лобкове Запорізької області та Нікополь Дніпропетровської області.
На Херсонському напрямку противник завдав авіаційних ударів в районах населених пунктів Козацьке, Одрадокам’янка, Тягинка, Антонівка Херсонської області. Ворожих артилерійських та мінометних обстрілів зазнали близько 10 населених пунктів Херсонської області, серед них Херсон, Микільське, Садове, Зеленівка, Чорнобаївка Херсонської області.
Водночас, Сили оборони України продовжують ведення наступальної операції на Мелітопольському напрямку, наступальні (штурмові) дії на Бахмутському напрямку, завдають окупаційним військам втрат в живій силі та техніці, виснажують ворога вздовж всієї лінії фронту.

У місті Токмак Запорізької області місцеве населення продовжує потерпати від дій військовослужбовців російських окупаційних військ, які через затримку грошового забезпечення та браку продуктів харчування займаються масовими крадіжками. Зокрема, окупанти примушують цивільних людей віддавати їм своїх домашніх тварин, продукти харчування та консервацію.
Протягом доби авіація Сил оборони завдала удару по штабу командування чорноморського флоту росії в тимчасово окупованому Севастополі, 12 ударів по районах зосередження особового складу, озброєння та військової техніки та 4 - по зенітно-ракетним комплексам противника.
Підрозділами ракетних військ уражено 2 зенітно-ракетних комплекси та 4 артилерійських засоби противника.
Підтримуйте Збройні Сили! Переможемо разом!
Слава Україні!
