There
are many facets to conflictineering; this mandates a definition that is
both complex and constantly evolving. The following explanation begins
the task of articulating this definition of
"conflictineering."
Conflictineering
begins by creating and/or using an event or action to expose the
hypocrisy and/or immorality of a person involved in a dispute. The
exposure of the hypocrisy and/or immorality is done in a way that
mandates the person being exposed know that he/she is violating an
acceptable agenda. Sometimes, this agenda is a law-based agenda,
sometimes a social agenda, and other times, a moral agenda. This
conflictineering is designed to pierce the image of the person that
he/she presents as him/herself. Features of this presented self image
can be many things because, remember, this is an image fabricated by a
person's agenda. Although in this paper, the targets of conflictineering
are presented as people, institutions can be portrayed as targets to
attack people who have publicly committed to the policies of the
institution.
