So when it’s politically problematic for there to be public animosity against the CCP, especially after a confirmed spy balloon overflight gets folks all riled up, we get UFO narratives flowing into the media about 3 more additional “objects” making their ways into our airspace.
So now we are talking UFO and aliens invasions rather than the CCP. Amazing how misdirection works. The old mythologies still work well to avert our eyes and hearts.
- cafard 4y agoThere are a lot of people--not necessarily CCP-friendly--who want to hear it.
- kcplate 4y agoExactly, that’s why it’s so effective. It’s mythology that only needs a little bump [1][2] from the government to start the misdirection snowball. They don’t have to even say “aliens”, we fill in that blank for them.
