"An entire family - our neighbors from the sixth floor - was killed..."

Oksana, a resident of an apartment building in #Kharkiv attacked by Russian drones, told that this morning, Russia killed her neighbors: a father, a mother, their two-year-old daughter, and their 16-year-old son.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll explain the Alaska Fiasco and how it marks the peak of Trump’s two-year betrayal of Ukraine. What was sold as “peace talks” turned into a spectacle of weakness, humiliation, empty promises, and photo-ops that handed Putin exactly what he wanted.

”Men fredisar förespråkar att man ska lägga sig för Ryssland och låta dem ockupera Ukraina och i framtiden andra länder, och kidnappa och sälja barn. Det viktiga är ju att det är fred och att ingen krigspitt pangar med sina skjutare.”

1. Loaded Language: How Propaganda Hijacks Emotion

Ever feel instantly angry, proud, or afraid just from a few words?

That’s no accident. That’s loaded language.

Let’s break it down.

Note:

Headline: “Outrage as Donald Trump suggests injecting disinfectant to kill virus”

Here, “Outrage” is the loaded word.

It tells you how to feel before you even read the news.

Loaded language is the gateway drug of propaganda.

It gets you feeling before you start thinking.

Don’t fall for it.

Next: Name Calling / Labeling

🔹 How to resist it:

Slow down. Emotional spikes are red flags.

Swap in neutral language and see if the claim still holds.

Focus on facts, not feelings.

🔹 How to spot it:

Ask:

Does this word describe, or does it judge?

Could a different word change the whole tone?

🔹 Real examples:

“Outrage as Donald Trump suggests injecting disinfectant”
“Public enemy number one”
“Evil empire”

These aren’t just words. They’re cues—designed to move you.

👉 Loaded language isn’t about what is said

It’s about how it’s said

Neutral: “The government passed a law.”
Loaded: “The regime forced through a power grab.”

🔹 How it shows up:

“Outrageous”
“Heroic”
“Tyrannical”
“Patriotic”
“Shameful”

Words chosen to manipulate, not inform.

🔹 What it is:

Using emotionally charged words to trigger strong feelings—without making a real argument.

🔹 Why it works:

Emotion bypasses logic.

If you're outraged, you're less likely to fact-check.

If you're proud, you're more likely to agree.
