Fear-mongering makes recruiting people easier, this why "sky is falling" narrative is so popular with righties-lefties.

Convince people, that some group is out to get them and you can do with them whatever you want. Typical behavior of authoritarian paranoids.

Now, I'm just not sure if this is actually being manipulated into reality -- whether consciously or otherwise -- by the actual Powers That Be or if this is just sort of... the natural course of things, now reaching their advanced stages.

People are being taught to fear symbols.

Love the crucifix, otherwise you're literally going to Hell.

Hate the swastika, otherwise you're literally Hitler.

They're only pictures and words and they're not controlling you unless you let them.

Still, there is insistence that the "OK" sign is White Power-related...
