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.

"73% українців вимагають реформ для євроінтеграції"..... і вони ж одночасно регулярно використовують своє беззаперечно завойоване право "обирати хоч тараканів з мультика".
От це і є головний парадокс та вічна таємниця буття нашого народу - коли голова ніби усвідомлює правильний нарямок, а ноги з невідомої причини  раз по раз несуть вступити в якесь лайно.
Що обрані вами "таракани" та ЄС, і тим більше НАТО, то є речі несумісні, ми ні за що не повіримо, треба буде обов'язково переконатись на власному печальному досвіді.
...........
Схоже, цього знову не уникнути, головне  на чергову сотню років не опинитись узбіччі Історії, зато в гордій позі з власнообраним "главним ричагом в руках".

   - 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: “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.

Ворог продовжує знищувати все українське на ТОТ і вкотре під ударом - діти
.
🔻
Спочатку наших школярів в окупації змушували співати ворожий гімн та писати листи загарбникам.
🔻
Потім їм промивали мізки пропагандою у дитячих та молодіжних організаціях.
🔻
Нині нове коло зомбі-пропаганди: єдинороси взялися моніторити всі шкільні музеї. Їх хочуть "інтегрувати в загальноросійську систему духовних цінностей".
Окупанти не приховують: всі зусилля у школах направлені на те, аби донести "правильну історію".
Проте цінності ерефії вже майже півтора роки бачить увесь світ. Країна-терорист, країна-сором, країна, яка знищує все живе.

Спікер парламенту Стефанчук заперечує конфлікт Зеленського та Залужного.
В інтерв'ю Politico він назвав цю інформацію "чутками" та "російською пропагандою", яка поширювалася "російськими каналами".
"Ніколи не було жодного випадку напруженості між політичним та військовим керівництвом", - заявив Стефанчук.
Нагадаємо, що нещодавно Зеленський публічно закликав Залужного дотримуватися ієрархії і не займатися політикою, чим фактично підтвердив наявність конфлікту.

 російський ядерний шантаж вийшов на новий рівень. Пояснює Центр стратегічних комунікацій
18 жовтня держдума рф ухвалила законопроєкт про відкликання ратифікації Договору про всеосяжну заборону ядерних випробувань.
▶

Рішення держдуми рф –
черговий російський шантаж
 початком ядерної війни.
▶
 москва регулярно вдається до погроз застосування ядерної  зброї кожного разу,
коли зазнає чергової військової чи дипломатичної поразки.

▶
 Ядерна істерія рф спонукає інші держави розвивати власні ядерні програми, адже
безпекові гарантії москви за відмову України від свого ядерного потенціалу виявилися нічого не вартими
.
▶

росія порушила базовий принцип нерозповсюдження ядерної зброї
, оголосивши про плани розміщення її в білорусі. Не можна також виключати загрози
передачі рф ядерних розробок Ірану та Північній Кореї.
▶
 росія – безвідповідальний розпорядник величезного ядерного арсеналу.
 Тому одним з пріоритетних безпекових завдань на найближчу перспективу не лише союзників України, але й цілого людства повинна стати денуклеаризація рф.

   - "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."

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."

ЦИПСОшники раздувают по н.п.
Крынки
, мол, "
мы плацдарм взяли
", операция
мясных
 морских котиков приближает "
перемогу
". Однако вся эпопея с Левобережьем -
неоправданные потери со стороны ВФУ.
1. Самый
 главный фактор
 предпринимаемых действий -
обмеление Днепра
, позволившее противнику сократить время переброски групп на левый берег. ВСУ высадились силами ССО и завязали бой, отвлекли части, успели переправится и провели, как утверждается, успешную десантную операцию. На деле же, им дали такую возможность, чтобы на маленьком участке зажать новые развернутые соединения и уничтожать при помощи авиации и артиллерии.
ЭТО МЫ
 им
навязываем
 свою стратегию,
а не они нам
.
2.
Ответ на вопрос
, почему мы их не прогнали предельно прост: пока мы можем уничтожать части 35,36,38 бригад морской пехоты на левом берегу с помощью артиллерии - мы будем этого и добиваться, чтобы не терять своих людей. Каждый 2 подписчик Z-каналов, видел на что похож н.п.
Крынки
. Наша пехота в случае ухода противника с
Крынок
 будет постоянно обстреливаться из ствольной, реактивной и гаубичной артиллерии с правого берега Днепра, по этому мы и не отбиваем населенный пункт, главная задача пехотинцев, которые держат оборону, это не допустить выхода противника в лес под
Крынками
 и не дать ему там закрепиться.
3.
Постоянный раздув "инфошоков"
 от уже наших правдолюбов лишь идет плюсиком для украинских ципсо-опонентов, потому что
их бойцы
, в отличие от наших,
сидят там в полной изоляции от систем массовой информации
. Некоторые боевики ВФУ после сдаче в плен говорят, что им перед выходом на задачу рассказывают, что
они будут сидеть не на ЛБС
, а на
третей

линии

фронта
, а
первая
 вообще где-то в районе н.п.
Новая Маячка
, до которой якобы уже
дошли В
Ф
У
. Поэтому они так бесстрашно и переходят Днепр, а потом сидят
 под ФАБами в Крынках
, из который пути назад нет.
Лодочки уезжают обратно
, увозя с собой только средней тяжести трехсотых,
поэтому спасающиеся бойцы выходят на наши позиции, где их принимают под белые рученьки.

Колумбия не будет поставлять Украине советскую военную технику
«Ни одна единица российской техники, в каком бы состоянии она ни находилась на нашей территории, не будет использована в этом конфликте», — заявил президент Колумбии Густаво Петро
.

Было бы неплохо, если Колумбия не поставляла Зеленскому и его компании "колумбийские вкусняшки"
😏

У бывших «оппозиционных» политиков и журналистов Украины - праздник. Появился новый шарик, в который можно вцепиться стертыми зубками - Арестович. Потому что уехал.
До этого главным раздражителем была я.
И вот уже порохоботы и бывшие «ватники» поучают: мол, не хватило смелости остаться в стране.
На самом деле, банально завидуют. Потому что им, в отличии от меня, не хватило смелости. Хватило жадности. Дело, как бы по-мещански, простите, не звучало,  - тупо в квартире в Киеве (жалко). Ну и еще бояться выйти из зоны комфорта.
Те, кто до 24 февраля кусал Зеленского, называя его наркоманом, дилетантом и т д.. уже полтора года как вынуждены прислуживать власти. Которую так ненавидят. Речь о всех - от клоуна Гончаренко до редакторов псевдоппозиционных изданий. Всем приходится договариваться с Офисом Президента. Наступая на горло амбициям, совести, эго.
Иначе - уголовное дело. В лучшем случае.
Поэтому такие как я или Арестович для приспособленцев - как белый свет для вампира.
Потому что сделали то, на что они не решались.
Свобода ГОВОРИТЬ - главное, что у меня есть. У них - нет.
Потому что  говорить правду об Украине сегодня можно только за ее пределами.
Я знаю, что такое уезжать из страны навсегда. Оставлять прошлую жизнь, имущество и т д. Сложно. Но еще сложнее - жить и врать себе и людям.
P.S. В следующем политическом цикле руководить Украиной будет тот, кто сейчас за ее пределами. (Не благодарите)

Украинские источники подтверждают атаку на мост в Затоке, но ... утверждают, что он давно не используется.
Ага, конечно, "тупые русские ударили по неработающему мосту". Но подобный разгон темы говорит о том, что мост работать теперь точно не будет!!!

Армия обороны Израиля за последние сутки провела точечную ликвидацию групп террористов в Иудеи и Самарии. Всего было уничтожено 17 боевиков, среди которых и командир группы - Саиб аль-Аул – активист "Исламского джихада" (иранские прокси). На фото - вот этот пузатый дядька. Со стороны армии Израиля потерь нет.
