Persuasion is a method of organized influence on the human psyche by appealing to its critical judgment, with an idea that someone firmly believes in.
Example:
“Ukraine was created by lenin”.
Spontaneous beliefs are decisions or conclusions without critical consideration.
Example:
Having been convinced by the occupiers that they will not shoot at a car with the sign “children”, a person decides to drive through the occupied territory without waiting for an official “corridor”, thus putting themselves and their loved ones in danger.
Believing that russia will return the soviet union and bring “good” to civilians, the person makes a spontaneous decision to report the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, thus exposing other people to danger.
Later, the russian propaganda presents the shelling of citizens as a provocation by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
