Rebrand Ultimatum:
"Charismatic leaders use every trick in the book to manipulate your emotions. They mesmerize you with the way they dress and talk. They guilt trip you. They make impossible promises and horrific threats. And they always build you up into a vulnerable, irrational frenzy right before they hit you with an ultimatum."
Summary of the rebrand fiasco and threats that the club could not exist without VT
Prizes for humiliation:
"The point of every good cause is to build up to the moment where the charismatic leader makes a call to action. The call for action is to either give money, take your commitment to the organization to the next level, humiliate yourself or at least honour those who do. This is brazen manipulation, and it works."
Giving ST's to 'fans' in pre-season springs to mind, honouring the sell-outs with gifts whilst showing what a generous, big-hearted guy you are
Mandatory attendence:
Mind control techniques and hypnosis don’t last forever. Perpetual manipulation requires perpetual renewal.
Stop giving your money to Tan & the spell is broken.
The blue kits appearing in club-shops is no coincedence.
Summary
"It appears possible for the individual, to develop limited defensive techniques against brainwashing. Such defensive measures are likely to be most effective if directed toward thwarting individual emotional reactions to brainwashing techniques rather than toward thwarting the techniques themselves."
Don't get emotional about whats happened, do something about it ffs!! There is another theory I have mind, some fans who wear the red kit are not real Cardiff fans, not mind-controlled at all.
