So…

You want power?

Is there someone you fear?

Something you fear?

Or do you simply just need more power?

Perhaps you’re just bored and want to put on a show from the shadows.

Your reason is irrelevant.

Today, I, underworldsent, will provide a full guide on manipulation.

As an inevitable quick disclaimer, I am more than aware that this video is unethical.

This video is for educational purposes only and serves as an unbiased, immoral guide to

manipulating others.

I am in no way encouraging such behavior, rather am providing it for others to use as

they wish.

This video will give you immense power if taken correctly, therefore it is up to you

how you wish to use this.

As it is of interest to most here, anime will be used as the medium for this video, like

my other videos.

As manipulation is quite a broad topic, I will be giving you an inside scoop at specifically

how I personally like to move.

There are many ways of manipulation and today I will show you mine, a mix of staying in

the shadows, but also taking the direct approach when the time is right.

Without further ado, I welcome you to the world of manipulation and psychological warfare

called reality.

Today we will dive deep into manipulation in a simple easy way for beginners, intermediates,

and experts alike.

This is the guide to manipulation.

Your first step in mastering manipulation is being self-aware.

More specifically, mastering emotional control.

Achieving emotional control is undoubtedly challenging, but it's essential.

So first things first, I will teach you how to control your emotions.

First, you need to heighten your awareness.

Recognize that maintaining emotional control is no simple task.

Start by consistently being attuned to your emotions, thoughts, and reactions, both externally

and internally.

People often succumb to instinctive responses in the heat of the moment, neglecting reflection

until after an encounter.

Break this habit by consciously monitoring your emotions while conversing, listening,

and formulating responses.

This initial step, though time-consuming to cultivate, is crucial.

Once you've achieved heightened emotional awareness, progress to the next level: mastering

control.

Especially in scenarios like maintaining a poker face, learn to suppress your emotions.

Swiftly calm yourself through techniques like controlled breathing, counting, or engaging

in quick, calming thoughts or meditation.

Consistently making a deliberate effort to suppress and relax your emotions will enable

you to effortlessly adopt a poker face or a con face.

Your final step in changing your mindset is controlling your ego.

Looking at "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene, the 21st law states the following:

"Play a sucker to catch a sucker" "No one enjoys feeling stupid.

Consequently, a great trick is to make your opponents feel smarter than you.

Once they believe themselves to be more intelligent, they will never suspect that you have any

ulterior motives."

Our ego seems to run loose all the time.

It is always of top priority to feel smarter than our peers.

An absolute cardinal sin in this world is attacking another man's intelligence; trust

me.

We care about our intelligence so much to the point you can basically assume everyone

around you is insecure about their intelligence, at least to a certain extent.

In a world of constantly chasing to be the smartest in the room, what if we, the wolf

among the sheep, decided to use this to our advantage?

If we finally cleared other's suspicions because we're supposedly "way too stupid to do anything",

wouldn't we have free reign?

Exactly.

By appearing dumber than you truly are, it becomes a lot easier to move others like pieces

on the chess board.

You have a sense of anonymity as your "low" intelligence will often enough cause you to

be overlooked.

If you pretend to be dumber than you truly are, you can run circles around almost anyone,

and the best part is, you'll never be suspected.

Your targets will automatically assume they are smarter than you, and assuming you have

low intelligence, will let their guard down while around you.

They will let you run free, assuming you are of no harm.

Drop your ego, think with your head and let others think what you want them to think.

Now, I will teach you all multiple different manipulation techniques.

First is an extremely well known technique, the White Knight.

White Knight is a manipulative tactic used to make the manipulator look like a hero or

a savior of sorts.

This technique essentially is solving problems you intentionally create.

White Knight is a tactic often used to gain control over others as humans are naturally

drawn to those who show kindness and lend a helping hand; so by intentionally creating

problems just for the sake of solving them, you look like a hero of sorts to your victim

and they can start to depend on you.

Actions speak louder than words and so when with your victim, you can tell them you'll

always be there for them and will always protect them, but to prove this, you can stage problems

and incidents just for the sake of saving them.

You're essentially making large gestures to signal to your victim your good intentions

towards them.

As an example, we see Ayanokoji in Classroom of the Elite employ this technique flawlessly.

He set his sights on Kei Karuizawa as she was a quite easy target and he put her through

hell.

Without her knowledge, he staged many instances of bullying onto her and even having Ryuuen

essentially hold her hostage to torment, hurt and traumatize her.

He was the main culprit behind her suffering and he did this to be her savior.

In episode 3 he set up a group of girls to bully her which had Karuizawa sitting down

crying.

Ayanokoji filmed the event and later told her he'd protect her if she helped him win

the exam.

In episode 12, when Ryuuen and others of Class C had Karuizawa tied up and soaked on the

roof, Ayanokoji came to save her, upholding his promise to always protect her.

Even so, Ayanokoji was actually the one who staged the whole thing and indirectly was

able to get Ryuuen to set his sights on Karuizawa to try to get the mastermind to reveal himself.

Basically, Ayanokoji staged every instance of Karuizawa's trauma just for the sake of

solving it and protecting her; doing so, he made her entirely dependent on him.

We can use this in our own lives or simply be aware of it for the sake of protecting

ourselves from it.

The 2nd tactic is Shadow Gossip.

What is it?

It's essentially lowering your target's reputation and social standing through the use of rumors

and other harmful methods.

The point of this method is to gain power and social standing over someone.

If someone is on another level socially than you, with the use of secretly gossiping and

spreading rumors about them, you can ruin their reputation and as such, take their place

and gain power over them.

You are to be anonymous throughout this process as the whole point of the "shadow" in shadow

gossiping is to do it secretly.

There are many ways to do this, first you can use fake social media accounts with anonymous

names.

Or in person, you can use others to pass the word along, but this way is risky - you can

spread rumors about your target to a close friend you trust, making sure they dont spill

that you're the one who said it, and have them tell others; word will spread.

This is to be done behind the back of your target and usually the information you spread

is false.

All that matters is ruining or slightly hurting their reputation.

Thirdly, Selective Emphasis.

One of many influential and subtly powerful manipulation techniques is the Selective Emphasis

technique.

This technique is quite self explanatory based on the name but you essentially emphasize

certain information while downplaying the rest.

This is a great way to persuade someone as you can emphasize the pros of a request, but

downplay just how bad the cons may be.

Doing this, you'll be able to convince others into requests that may not be too good for

them.

The best way to use Selective Emphasis is on contradictory statements.

So, when proving your point, emphasize the biggest parts of your point, then downplay

all information and evidence that contradicts your statements.

This is used in the news, in speeches, and in every day life and is a powerful way to

spread bias information and facts.

You put your subject in a distorted lens, far from reality, they get put in a reality

you've created.

The key is to disregard and downplay all the parts you want your subjects to overlook and

forget about.

As an example, bring them in on the short term benefits, but downplay the terrible long-term

benefits.

Finally, The Foot in the Door Technique.

It is a persuasion technique involving guiding your target up a metaphorical ladder.

Essentially you ask for a small favor from them in order to evoke feelings of helpfullness

and a closer bond with added respect.

After, you ask them for a much larger request.

By doing this you give them a taste of helpfulness with feelings of newly grown respect and make

them crave more by completing even bigger favors.

Doing this, there is a higher chance of approval since most individuals try to harmonize their

actions with their prior accord.

This technique works if implemented in a strategic and simple way.

Be sure not to overdo it on your requests and know nothing is foolproof - but use it

wisely, and it'll work perfect.

And that is all for today's video.

Manipulation is such a deep topic that it is absolutely impossible to fully cover in

depth in 1 single video.

Therefore, I have given you as much detail as possible for one video.

It is up to you how you choose to use it, good luck.

I would also like to remind you all of my discord server.
