I think another major point that needs to brought into this discussion is 'extremism'.
No government, no person, is perfect. Not only are they not perfect they are all, everyone of us - self centered.
My point is, yea there are lot of things about my own government and people that I do not like or agree with.
However, what has happened today ( "again through Goebbelization" repeated and selective media propaganda) is that we strain gnats and swallow camels. We point out he specs on other's eyes while ingnoring the logs in our own. This is the heart of hypocrisy!
So a government that gets it right the vast majority of the time, but fails or falls short or goes against what I think it should do
one time, then they become the enemy. This is extremism, a major tactic of the "Goebbels, Saul Alinsky's, (Really Satan as Saul Alinsky dedicated his book to him)
It is to sow division, it is part of the Communist Manifesto. And it is what we call 5th Generation warfare and It will and has worked.
I have seen it in many of my relationships. If I don't get in 100% agreement with someone and I have different perspective on one topic that they get emotionally wrapped up in, I become their enemy!
We have lost the ability to sit down and talk things through, or "come let us reason together". If our founding fathers didn't get through this in the Constitutional convention. we would of died as a nation then and there.
The tactic is immediately to go to ad hominin attacks. This to has been intentional institutionalized in the US ever since the JFK assassination where the term "Conspiracy theorist" was coined by the intelligence community to smear and and de legitimize any one who comes against their narrative. Another quote from "As in the Days"
------------------------------------------
. . . [
'Conspiracy theorist':
An 'ad hominem' (defined earlier) type of personal attack term created specifically by the US intelligence agencies to, dismiss and defer, condescend, mock and smear anyone who would choose to expose, question or disagree with the 'accepted' or 'official' government/authority narrative' on a controversial topic (specifically over the J. F. Kennedy assassination) They do this without having to offer any real evidence to prove these 'conspiracy theorists' wrong or crazy. This is arrogantly and mockingly done to shame, silence and humiliate them and destroy their credibility, and cause people to question the mental competency or stability of anyone who would dare to stand against them, and thus reject their claims out of hand. The Lord Jesus Himself suffered this sort of attack often, even from his "own people" who came to get Him because He was, "out of His mind" (
Mark 3:21)
and was called many insulting and mocking names, even after performing many undeniable miracles in front of thousands. Noah was the ultimate 'conspiracy theorist whack job'- (until it rained) - as were most of the prophets, apostles and as mentioned, the Lord Himself! He also warned us that if they "hated and mocked Him, they will hate and mock us" John 15:18.)
Some 'conspiracy theories' are intentionally, and carefully crafted lies/deceptions backed up with endless and relentless and REPETITIVE PR and propaganda broadcasting through various media outlets (Social Engineering). This can also be done before a specific event (called false flags) and "Gas lighting" https://duckduckgo.com/?q=what+is+%27gaslighting%27%3F&t=brave&ia=web Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation where one person causes another to question their perception of reality, memories, or sanity. This behavior often leads the victim to doubt their own thoughts and feelings, creating confusion and anxiety.
The term "gaslighting" comes from the 1938 play "Gas Light" and its 1944 film adaptation. In these stories, a husband manipulates his wife into believing she is losing her mind by dimming the gas lights and denying it when she notices.
. . .Which can occur after an event to either 'prep', 'desensitize', 'sensationalize', distract or exaggerate things so much as to push them over the realm of plausibility. That way if the cover is blown, the 'whistle blower' - (or group of people) - who blows that cover is immediately labeled as a 'whacked out conspiracy theorist kooks' or a 'racist', a "hater", etc. to both silence, marginalize, humiliate and smear them and cause everyday common people to question their mental competency! Thus, if they can destroy the credibility, character and life of one true 'whistle blower', others will remain silent! This "conspiracy theorist' ad hominin attack and gaslighting is part and parcel of what is now being called "
5th Generation Warfare"
or 5GW it is unconventional, it is warfare by deception 'Information and Perception "Social Engineering" (primarily non kinetic not with physical armaments or weapons)':

The term "grifter" is now being used more instead of 'conspiracy theorist', But the intent is the same. To delegitimize or cause the masses to question someone and cause them to not read or listen or consider what they may have to say>
