Disinfo


the introduction of faulty logic with implied -ssertions. the -ssertions are false and not directly claimed but are derived from the claim. often used by those in power seeking to disunite revolts and protests. often applied in online discussion to otherwise legitimate arguments both to spam the discussion with nonsense and to emotionally engage the posters who are otherwise having an intelligent discussion.

poster2: disinfo agent detected, we can have private police with better results and less power trips.
