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.

Год назад я сравнивала ситуацию в Украине с мистическим рассказом про обезьянью лапку.
В нем главный герой получает таинственный талисман: высушенная обезьянья лапа может исполнить три любых желания. Но в итоге за их исполнение приходится платить огромную цену.
Сначала мужчина загадывает получить двести фунтов. На следующий день приходит известие — его сына задавило станком. За что положена компенсация в 200 фунтов.  Убитый горем, мужчина загадывает следующее  желание — чтобы сын ожил. Оно исполняется — в доме появляется призрак. В страхе и ужасе, главный герой загадывает последнее желание — чтобы призрак исчез.
В западной литературе термин «эффект обезьяньей лапы» используется в контексте проблематики управления. Когда наряду с ожидаемым положительным результатом действия влекут за собой катастрофические последствия.
Мы хотели победу Майдана - получили. Но потеряли Донбасс и Крым.
Мы хотели в Европу - получили. Но потеряли 10 миллионов людей.
Мы хотели в НАТО - получили войну за интересы НАТО. И страну на грани исчезновения.
Как в истории про обезьянью лапу, наши желания исполняются. И влекут за собой катастрофу.
Все, что власть творит  с моей страной после 2014, делает только хуже и хуже.
Может стоит бояться своих желаний? Остановиться и спросить у себя: куда мы идём ?

Рай земной в столице обещают чиновники от Киевской городской администрации. Они согласны убрать все старые смердящие маршрутки с улиц Киева и заменить их экологически чистым электротранспортом. Но только после повышения тарифа с 8 до 30 гривен.
И какие перспективы киевлянам сулят! Мол, упор нужно сделать на троллейбусах с автономным ходом, так как их запуск не требует больших капиталовложений по строительству контактной сети. С помощью таких троллейбусов можно будет продолжить маршруты из Киева в Коцюбинское, Бровары, Бучу, Ирпень, соединить троллейбусным маршрутом правый и левый берег. Воздух в столице станет чище, а киевляне – здоровее и счастливее.
Вспомнилось, как Кличко обещал киевлянам декоммунизировать все вагоны столичного метрополитена, прям боксерские трусы на себе рвал. А сейчас за милую душу принимает из Варшавы старые советские вагоны для их частичной канибализации. Жители столицы уже привыкли, что обещания КГГА нужно делить на 16, а остаток – на 32.
Так что в реальность резкого повышения стоимости проезда я охотно верю, а вот в троллейбусный рай, извините, - нет. Думаю, что киевляне смогут платить 30 грн за проезд, если и их зарплаты так же вырастут в 4 раза, иначе это форменное издевательство над людьми.

На Херсонско-Крымском направлении продолжаются встречные бои в Крынках. Ни одна из сторон не владеет инициативой. По украинским морпехам серьёзно работают средства дальнего поражения ВС РФ. Дроны и миномёты ВСУ также создают серьёзную проблему для российских подразделений.
На Донецком фронте российские войска серьёзно продвинулись в Марьинке. Большая часть остатков этого города фактически за ними. Украинское командование, видимо, уже не считает удержание там позиций приоритетным. С оперативной точки зрения это для ВСУ проблема. На этом она не закончилась. Укрепрайон в Победе уже будет сложно держать. ВС РФ при поддержке средств дальнего поражения атаковали у Первомайского, Северного (населённый пункт к западу от Авдеевки) и у Степного (не путать с одноимёнными населёнными пунктами на Запорожском и Угледарском направлениях). На последнем из перечисленных участков есть тактическое продвижение за железнодорожной веткой по фронту.
На Бахмутском направлении – атаки ВС РФ к северо-западу от Клещеевки и в сторону Богдановки. На втором участке ВСУ отходят.
На Луганском направлении российские войска атаковали у Торского. ЛБС не изменилась. Здесь важный логистический район для ВСУ на левом берегу реки Жеребец. Севернее ВС РФ сумели продвинуться в районе Тернов. Тактический успех. Встречные бои у Синьковки.

   - 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.

Офіційний YouTube-канал уряду Уйобщини

 пропагандистський відеоролик з закликом до "мирних перемовин"
🤡
У відеоролику розказується що війна легко стає всесвітньою, і демонструється мапа України без Криму, який московія у 2014 році окупувала, а потім анексувала.
🤦♂
Окрім того, що ця витівка йде у розріз з усіма резолюціями ЄС, членом якого поки що є ця "держава" — у ролику чомусь не згадуються причини війни, руйнувань міст і смертей сотень тисяч людей, а заклик до перемовин супроводжується акцентом на руснявому прапорі.
🫡
Нагадуємо, що є країна, яка ціною життів показує своє прагнення бути членом Союзу, але її закидають купою "задач" поки одна країна-учасник нехтує усіма принципами цього ж Союзу і є гнилим яблуком серед інших нормальних.

Пам'ятна неділя.
Сьогодні вшановуємо пам'ять жертв політичних репресій.
Тих, хто постраждав за любов до своєї країни.
Тих, хто прагнув свободи.
Тих, хто боровся за свої права.
Розстріляних, депортованих, ув'язнених, засланих до таборів.
Російські окупанти зараз діють тими ж  методами кривавого комуністичного режиму. Намагаються знищити нас, українців, на нашій землі.
Але ми боремось єдиним фронтом, стаючи з кожним днем усе сильнішими!
Поборемо зло!
Переможемо!

   - 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.

Городской совет Днепра до сих пор не передал в ГСЧС перечень простейших укрытий взятых на учет
❗
Также ДМР не принимает в городскую собственность еще 44 "бомбоубежища".
Фонд госимущества с 2018 года обращался 4 раза по этому вопросу в городской совет, но городской совет не хочет. Например, не принимают "бомбоубежища" на универсальной 10 (рядом с больницей №14), Александра Поля 28а (рядом с АТБ), или Богдана Хмельницкого 106а (рядом с Террой).
⏺
Громконтроль Днепра в системе прозрачно уже насчитали 241 закупку по строительству простейших укрытий на 300 млн.грн.
Но неизвестно в каком состоянии они с учетом, что в ГСЧС их перечень не передали.

Ну, и помимо трусости, Тищенко либо туп, либо прикидывается.
Потому что если Конституция запрещает народным депутатам становиться военнослужащими, то поменять ее законопроектом нельзя. Нужно вносить изменения именно в Конституцию.
Но, мы не будем мешать Николаю выполнять роль придворного фрика и отвлекать внимание от коррупции властей.

14 березня - День українського добровольця
Доброволець.
У коренях цього слова закладений увесь сенс. Не примус, а вибір боронити Батьківщину робить людину по-справжньому вільною.
Добровольці мають особливе значення для української історії. Україна пишається тими, хто став на її захист за покликом серця. У 2014 році добровольчі батальйони зробили неоціненний вклад у збереженні нашої держави. Новий етап українсько-російської війни розпочався із черг у військкомати у багатьох наших містах. Тоді, на початку 2022 року, ті, хто стояв у тих чергах і гадки не мали, чи вистоїть Україна завтра. Проте вони стояли, без жодних вагань, ладні віддати життя у бою.
Шана всім українським добровольцям. Слава Україні!

Ліквідатори аварії на Чорнобильській АЕС – це наші батьки й матері, які ціною свого здоровʼя та життя зупинили страшне лихо і врятували тисячі людей
Кожен з них – герой-захисник не лише України, а ще й всієї Європи. І сьогодні, коли росія погрожує світові новою ядерною катастрофою на Запорізькій АЕС, ми з ще більшою шаною дякуємо нашим ліквідаторам за подвиг та перемогу над колись мирним атомом.
У ці непрості часи війни вони вкрай потребують нашої турботи. Тож дбаємо про належну соціальну допомогу і медичне забезпечення наших героїв та залучаємо до цього громадські організації (зокрема представників ГО «BELUGA UA», разом з якими ми сьогодні організували невеличке свято для ліквідаторів та їніх родин).
Низький уклін усім учасникам ліквідації наслідків аварії на Чорнобильській АЕС. Вічна шана полеглим героям-чорнобильцям.
