First and foremost is to create problems, issues and conflicts in the society and then be the only people to resolve that issue because you have created the problem with the solution in mind. Sometimes it the only person or the organization to resolve the issue to become the protector and saviour.
When people are in the state of fear, scared and afraid, uncertain of their feature they would not have the rationality and executive decision making skills, their critical thinking faculties would not work. In this state of mind, people will be desperate to get some control back, to someone to give a solution, submit to anything that gives instant relief from the anxiety, they take any option to get out of uncertainty, they will be willing to give their autonomy for a sense of temporary security.
Historically people who rile and elite power class take advantage of these tumultuous circumstance. People who are power hungry and money minded want people to be dumb and distracted. There is more business in making people complaisant and make them accept the way things are being run. There is a big problem if people start to think for themselves, become self-reliant and develop critical thinking skills. Our established systems don’t want people to question and want the people to comply.
Many of the situations in the world are create in such a way that there won’t be any hope left for a common person. They take away faith in themselves in our future so that we are compelled to feel useless. In desperate times there won’t be any mental strength left for smart and critical questions. Ultimately if we analyze, it distills down to making us dependent on something and make consumers of something whether we agree or not.
