1/21/13, "The Collectivist Mind Game, Part 1: Demonizing the Non-Compliant," by Oleg Atbashian, American Thinker
"In
a society shaped by the government's mind games of manipulative
illusions, a dissenter sticks out like a sore thumb. Once the
resistance has been demonized, its members will be quickly identified
and denounced by the compliant citizenry, labeled as the enemy, and be
dealt with by law enforcement.
In
the end, the self-preservation of modern-day totalitarianism is
ensured, not so much by the secret police with its army of snitches and
brutal enforcers, as by modern technologies of psychological
manipulation through the media, education, and entertainment....
In
Russia, the communists used to demonize their opponents long before the
Revolution, which made it easier for them to physically eliminate the
opposition later. As soon as they were in full control of the
government, they began to demonize entire segments of the society,
subcultures, and classes of people whom they deemed incapable of change.
