Orwell's Animal Farm spelt this out. I don't have to solve a problem to make it go away.....all I have to do is innundate you with a story, aggitate you with doom and gloom predictions (preferably ones you cannot confirm or deny), then simply stop reporting that story with such urgency. Your very malleable and easily manipulated mind will fill in the blanks for me.
This is why people join abusive cults....why people give money to mega-church televangelist...why people murder someone for having the wrong colored bandanna.. I just have to scare you with a prediction, confuse you with information, then finally comfort you with solutions. Solutions ONLY I am capable of producing...as long as you keep me in power. Wicked people no longer need the tip of a spear or the barrel of a gun to control you......just 5 minutes of talking into your ear hole will produce the desired results.
Lincoln was incorrect when he said you cannot fool all the people all the time. If a tik tok star can convience you to eat detergent, I can convience you we are running out of oxygen, running out of food, anything I choose to keep my power. Unless you wake up.
