      Motivation? To be fair, I have no idea beyond conjecture, though the effects certainly play nice with their other methods of misinformation and target results: distraction, uncertainty, decay of trust, perforation of hope, community attrition, isolation, division, et al.

      If no one’s trustworthy, how can a rebellion even spark much less foment effectively? If the primary source of this oppression is obfuscated to look like scores of minor psychopaths instead, how will any resistance unify itself?

      Keeping us dumb, testy, and drained makes bawbags of us all. 🤌🏼
