One can learn a lot from a government.
Unable to change the facts? Change the narrative.
Narrative being questioned? Round up a base of human shield activists and ignore the concerns of those who say they've been harmed.
Population unrest, public health in decline? Declare a common enemy, shift blame abroad, preferably on a country that speaks an entirely different language.
Bored? Experiment on children, undermine family in the name of protecting yourself from fear of imagined future possibilities projected from your traumas.
Hurt? Encourage fathers to waste their lives away from their sons over the one-sided lies of the greedy.
War ending? Stoke division to keep the funding fawcet going.
