Except that it will trigger a lot of people to find that "Kill the Boer" song and will search for "south africa white genocide".
Pretty sure most people won't come out of that with a particularly nuanced view of the situation in South Africa.
Good manipulation is subtle.
We must have different definitions of subtle.
Well, the random placement is not very subtle, but the feigned neutrality will fool most readers.
Looks pretty neutral to me.
Excuse me, are you suggesting that any amount of "nuance" could make these acceptable? Or that people "finding" out about it is a bad thing?
It's a matter of selection bias, presented as neutrality. Focusing most of the attention on one side of the matter lacks nuance.
