Abstract

This research delves into the effects of trolling on social media narratives, with a sample size of 1,609 users from a prominent platform. The study underscores the detrimental consequences of misinformation that intensifies religious discord, destabilizes the Middle East, and heightens the threat of worldwide conflict. Notably, 97% of participants supported the segment to raise awareness, while a scant 3% voiced opposition. Early reviewers, however, provided overwhelmingly adverse feedback, inducing a defensive stance and a “chilling effect” among subsequent reviewers.

This paper scrutinizes the substantial divergence in public opinions, proposing that such splits are engineered to fuel socio-economic and political turmoil. It theorizes that the initial negative reactions to pro-social solutions simulates Cognitive Warfare (“CW”), engineered by intelligence agencies to manipulate public sentiment and societal aggression. The significant data disparity between early troll respondents and general respondents suggests well-organized intelligence agency activity influencing public opinion.

Trolling as a persuasive strategy induces societal dissonance, warlike mentality, and apathy over damaging outcomes undermining peace and productive dialogue in the social media. This study considers trolling as a persuasion tactic that contributes to psychopathology, social aggression, and “chilling” undermining harmonious dialogue and civility across society. The author calls for consideration of regulatory remedies to realize “peace on earth” objectives.
