“Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
Alex wanders out of Wonderland only to find himself in another Wonderland.
In the new world, he lives in a family that had been victimized. The land is filled with militia members and thugs. The local church elders buried a whistleblower alive while another would-be victim survived a murder plot, thanks to the glitch in the last minute of a bipartite conspiracy hatched by the missionaries and the goons combined. Now, the survivor's family members had come at the receiving end of an Orwellian, gang stalking.
The grand conspiracy is like a two-faced tortoise: the masterminds would make a ring around the victims inside the community, flaunting their strengths and muscles and militia powers, the men dressed in camouflage, holding AK-47s, while outside the community, however, they'd pursue and push the same victims to a corner by disguising themselves as lovers of justice and smiling church leaders, the soft-spoken, harmless doves. This two-face tortoise could deceive anybody on its path. And its victims have no language to even describe the chameleonic appearances.
To the national and international entities, the masterminds could present themselves as the good and their victims as the evil. Because ― unlike the powerless and voiceless victims of " testimonial injustice" ― they owned the toolbox for "social validation", something with which to validate their narratives; this, in a fast-paced world, and broken justice system, is a game-changer.
Super creative as they're, the conspiracy masterminds could adapt to any scenario under the sun: every tool is already at their fingertips. This results in a situation where global surveillance and control of the unfairly demonized could be achieved. The monsters merely had to tweak one thing here and another there.
Whoever controls the narrative, controls the switch of the good and the evil, the magic wand for making a protagonist out of one party and an antagonist out of another. Whoever controls the process of social validation, exercises the ability to brainwash or to rewire the neural structures of any individual and that of the collective. When this is the circumstance, what constitutes reality could now be tailor-made to suit the ego of the two-faced conspiracy architects. While the blood of the crushed, law-abiding victims quietly oozes.
The children of the shapeshifters will eat popcorn and conveniently deny all that had happened. Unless somebody with X-ray vision puts a finger on the problem and has brought the world together as one to take away the ability for cavalier denials from the generational deniers!
