This work sets as its main task the formation of critical political thinking by analyzing the 8 most common manipulation techniques, which are also logical errors rooted in the consciousness of the masses. In addition, an attempt is made to shed light on the natural nature of politics, the structure of the political compass, stereotypes, the formation of worldviews, the problem of lost value and other difficult topics for the average person who has recently become interested in politics. Politics at its core is a dirty tool for promoting one’s personal ambitions, the will to power and other selfish motives common to most people. Dividing people into opposing social groups, inciting hatred and misleading them is just a small function of the Swiss army knife that is politics. In recent times, political harassment has become widespread throughout our vast country.
