What is the best way to control people?
You need to convince them that if they don’t do what you want them to do it
will lead to their total annihilation.
What could be scarier than that?
How do you convince them?
You tell them that the consensus (97% or maybe even more) of experts
(scientists) agree that they need to change their ways (to what you want them
to do) or they will suffer dire consequences due to their own inaction. Of course if some scientists do not agree you
will just tell the people that those scientists have been discredited or have
no standing in this field of knowledge.
If you say a lie loud enough and long enough many people will begin to believe
you. This is called the “BIG LIE”. In the 20th century the big lie
was used to convince many people that socialism/communism was the savior of
humanity. Many people bought it. However socialism has always allowed people
not to share the wealth but share the misery.
Many people point to some European Countries where socialism has
succeeded but on closer examination we see that these countries, when they
started to suffer extreme monetary crisis, have pulled back from complete
socialism and re-instituted private businesses.
They still retain some socialistic structures but have regained a
thriving private sector.
So when you see scare tactics being used to convince you to accept a certain
course of action, be wary of the Big Lie.
