A common form of mind control I have been seeing employed a lot in the last 17 years.steemCreated with Sketch.

The Big Lie is a reference to a common form of mind control that is coupled with another tactic I am seeing way too much. This tactic is the naming of groups and government legislation positive sounding things. For example "The Patriot Act", "People's United", "National Defense Administration Act", "Clean Coal", "Anti-Fascist"

In each of the above cases the exact opposite is true based on the name.

  • Supporting the Patriot act was in no form a patriotic thing.

  • People's United had nothing to do with uniting anyone, it just made it easier for corporations to do almost anything they want.

  • National Defense Administration Act was mostly just to give the government enough power to throw anyone in jail for any reason they want indefinitely, it had no effect on our defense as a country.

  • Its, almost literally impossible for coal to be clean.

  • Claiming to fight fascism while using the same tactics as fascists makes the people using that tactic fascists. Due to the fact that this term is a current propaganda tactic you are likely being brainwashed to think it somehow makes sense to use violence. But in 5 years you and everyone else will look at this the same way.

It is actually one of the most common tactics used in politics. Every German kid learns a big one the Nazis used: "Reichskristallnacht". Destroying jewish stores was downplayed by naming it after all the glass pieces that layed on the streets after bursting all the windows. It literally translates to "Reich Crystal Night"

Woah that's crazy!
