One of the most impressive coups the elites have pulled over the last few decades is making people think they’re intelligent simply for submitting to authority. This can be seen in the realms of politics and society but more notably (especially recently), in the realm of science.
The formula itself is quite simple though the methods are much more sophisticated. On any issue, you choose the most extreme position that stands in opposition to what you want and always bring this up in debate or when compelled to mention opposition. In logic, this is quite similar to the “straw man” which is exaggerating your opponents position. So the set-up in basically that you either agree with your reasonable position or you are on the same side as all those crazy guys.
Following this, you ignore all moderate or reasonable people holding a similar position; or failing that, shamelessly lump them in the extreme position without allowing any right of reply. In doing this, enough of the general public believes that by opposing this extreme position that they are being, sensible and intelligent and as a result are also inclined to dismiss the more reasonable voices as well. Many people in opposition are also disinclined to offer more than a lukewarm dissent on the matter.
With media limited to very few powerful corporations and organisations, this has been the practice for a long time though the Internet had started to put an end to this until relatively recently. This was until the same organisations began clamping down and deliberately limiting information available to others as I have documented before.
What follows are multiple examples of this in practice.
