People are scared. They are scared of what establishment propaganda is pounding into their head. They are scared over issues that they are used to discuss freely in their respective ideology. You could get people into the street demonstrating for/against gun rights, abortion, gender issues. The real big issues such as war and peace only make the masses mildly interested. Its entertainment not politics.

What the plutocracy is covering up is always the same things. Their wars, how their political power really works, and why they do it, how they gain their wealth and control the economy. More shortly they cover up the how of their power and wealth. Its even obscure who really is in power.

When the war drum is needed its been just amazing for a century or more how easy it is to make war happen. They seem to be in total control. Fear is awakened only for minor controllable issues, for false flags or even for dissent itself.
