fear is their biggest tool to use to control people. I don't understand how people can eat it all up so blindly without much thought, but those who hypnotise themselves with tv, fb etc too often seem to feed into the fear the easiest as their minds are the most pliable. I worry what this society will look like in 10 more years if we continue to go in the direction we are. All we can do really is work on not feeding into the fear ourselves and hope others see it too and turn their backs on the fear mongering.
Also fun fact, CIA created the term Conspiracy theorist in the 70s to combat whistleblowers and discredit them easily. (I also find it hilarious, just recently in the last couple months, if you look it up...its now a conspiracy that they did this. lololol always trying to cover their asses...)
Yes, I talk about this aspect of "Conspiracy Theory" occasionally. I also compare it to Pavlovian Conditioning applied to humans. :)
