Ok so this is the first time I'm posting here

Do you think people with ADHD are immune to advertising and propaganda?
It would make sense since advertising basically relies on mechanics of hypnosis and mind control. (Don't forget the Edward Bernays dude was the nephew of Sigmund Freud, who worked extensively on the principle of subconscious mind)

I remember one day some amateur hypnotist tried to do hypnosis on me but it failed, while he did manage to hypnotize my friend next to me (tricks like your fingers are "glued together", or you are "stuck" to the ground and can't get up) & his only explanation why it failed on me was that hypnosis needed a "receptive mind" to work... (Indeed I've always been told I lack attention, had my head in the clouds etc)


Could it be that the difference with the general population is that they are more influenced because they have a more sustained attention span? If true, then that would mean ADHD is a form of psychic defense in todays societies where attention is a valuable resource ( especially for media & advertisers).

What do psychology anons think about this?

social neutrons
stabilise society by being immune to the normal push and pull of mass hysteria

adhd is not real so didn't read the rest of the bs

No. Propaganda and mind controll works best at ADHD level attention spans.
Am literal agency mathematical propagandist.

Never heard of ADHD itself making people immune to propaganda and advertisting. Autistic people do appear to be better at resisting both, but that's far from perfect so you couldn't call it immunity. During the pandemic, some government had special propaganda aimed specifically at autistic people because the normal stuff didn't work on them. Haven't seen numbers for the effectiveness of the targeted propaganda but it probably did work better than the normie message. There is a good bit of overlap between autism and ADHD but they are still separate conditions.

Because we all know that's what's coming next, people with autism are about 2.8 times as likely to have some sort of gender dysphoria than the general population. But that's still below 1% for the general population and about 2.5% for autistics. So when someone tells you that all autists are trannies, they're either trolling or they fell for someone's propaganda.

No. 99.99% of people are hackable animals
the average 4channer, 137 IQ midwits, ADHD/autists, are no different.

As someone with ADHD, no. Poor impulse control is golden for getting people to buy shit

Sure but many require individual attention for that to work. If you want the best "bang for the buck", you want to craft messages that manipulate the greatest number of people when broadcast widely.

>Do you think people with ADHD are immune to advertising and propaganda?
>do people with a specific form of atrophied neurological development have an increased resistance to psychological manipulation
just think about what you type before you send it out, I beg you this could have been avoided if you applied even the most basic reasoning skills to the premise

you seriously underestimate how effective modern advertising techniques and technologies are

Do you think its a coincidence most ADHD and autistic spergs find their respective fixations via social media or online "content" platforms?
>>
>>16794977
Not really.
If anything, it’s just that the mind control is optimized for a neurotypical person. Probably something tailored for people with ADHD would work just as well for them, if not better due to lowered inhibition.

You seem to have fallen for propaganda about autism instead of actually doing some research. Since you already have fallen for propaganda and shown you don't care about research, you will now double down and deny the obvious truth about your susceptibility to propaganda.
>>
>>16794977
I am also immune to hypnosis
Definitely immune to advertising, in fact the more I see or hear your ad the less likely I am to buy from you. If you have a particularly annoying ad I will go out of my way to give my business to your competitors.
And I am certainly immune to propaganda, because I simply believe not a single fucking thing I'm told. I've been here since irc days and I'm still not a nazi, a troon, a groyper, a christcuck, or a (((collaborator))).
We simply don't fit into the world. It's not about attention span, it's because normies and autists have brains like digital computers that give definitive answers
We have brains like quantum computers, we get every possible answer at once and we just have to go with the most likely one

No, impulsive people are not immune to advertising and propaganda!

You have no fucking idea what adhd is, your mother was just a lazy cunt who medicated you for behaving like a child. She abused you and you should do therapy, probably also chew her the fuck out about it.

Since I found out that Chex was manipulating the minds of children, I have gone 100% Big Cereal Free and now support only local, artisan granaries.
