Liars are easy to control
Propagandists want people to be liars, because controlling liars is easy — just ransom their emotional dependencies.
Everything you depend on that isn’t truth, is liable to become a ransom to make you lie.
“Lie, or you’ll never see your precious social status again.”
“Lie, or you’ll never see your precious identity as a Democrat again.”
“Lie, or you’ll never see your precious ____x____ again.”
That’s the implicit message, every time you see a media corporation call something a conspiracy theory, or a Democrat call something far-right. Labels like these are ransoms on your honesty. They are threats. They are hostilities against your soul.
Watching or respecting The News, The Science, or The Facts is like piping gratuitous hostilities into your bloodstream with an IV drip. None of these are what they say they are. They are the knowledge mafia. They keep you dishonest — at gunpoint —and recruit innocent bystanders to help them.
Preference falsification is engineered to enslave populations. This is why it’s so important that we don’t blame stupid people for social ills. It’s not their fault someone weaponized their innocence.
