Political kayfabe

Have you ever wondered why the US establishment press repeatedly grants an organization it seemingly reviles with millions of dollars worth of free advertizing? You're constantly reminded that the NRA exists, while the GOA is given zero publicity. Ever felt like a fish-on-the-line being played?

"Most of you wouldn't know your ass from a hole in the ground unless someone told you otherwise, and this uncritical naivete is why you swallowed your Deep State and fake anti-state media organ pretenses of hating and fearing my campaign promises to drain their swamp so much that they gave me around-the-clock free advertising[1] the moment I announced my candidacy in 2015 so that I could coast straight into the White House after only narrowly defeating some crippled witch with skeletons packed into her closet like cordwood. It's truly amazing how these things just randomly happen to swell guys like me when I could have instead disappeared in a poof of smoke after New Hampshire had they instead decided not to cover me at all like those shunned bastards whose names you've already forgotten. The reality is that elections are rigged, and have been for quite some time to keep the plunder trains running smoothly. Guys like me? We're actors now, and are not permitted to get anywhere near real power without decades' worth of loyalty-tests resulting in only those aspirants judged most trustworthy to follow script being anointed. (This is also why there's no incentive for us to assassinate each other, as was once popular, in case you're wondering why that never happens anymore.) Periodic voting remains as a national past-time to keep you both entertained and pacified, like a cat fascinated by a laser-pointer."

Main article: Fall-back propaganda

Political kayfabe (derived: kayfabe) is a divisive, scissors statement-laden phony narrative replete with heroes and villains into which the citizen's mind is shunted such that, no matter which proffered "side" he chooses to gravitate to, the goals of his rulers are accomplished either way, as the only "faces" and "heels" made known to him are those under their control. In a well-constructed narrative, various controlled entities will serve in both "face" and "heel" capacities simultaneously from the viewpoint of a polarized citizenry.

Successfully implementing political kayfabe necessarily requires effective control of both mainstream media and alternative media, and co-opted alt-media entities (e.g., Alex Jones, Mike Adams, The Daily Stormer, WikiLeaks, Gettr, etc) with those of declining influence loudly and triumphantly banned in social media so as to remind the ignorant that they still exist and are ostensible champions against that censorship. The end-result is Balkanization of information under a smothering syrup of pervasive lies, and misdirection of citizen attention into dead-end avenues of inquiry.

"The Soviet system of propaganda and censorship existed not so much for the purpose of spreading a particular message as for the purpose of making learning impossible, replacing facts with mush, and handing the faceless state a monopoly on defining an ever-shifting reality." [2]

—Masha Gessen

The essence of lying is in deception, not in words; a lie may be told in silence, by equivocation, by the accent on a syllable, by a glance of the eye attaching a peculiar significance to a sentence; but all of these kinds of lies are worse and baser by many degrees than a lie plainly worded.

—John Ruskin
