You can connect the dots, collate the details and visualize
the culprits who are recruited.
Some institutions are
well organized in cherry picking goody goody image posturing idiots, talented
artists, articulate writers who are then trained to be moles to pass on vital
weaknesses of the blind masses.
These folks knowing
the weakness garner a status of through gullible hero worshiping groups which
cannot see through their machinations [ which includes being able to act as
conduits for shady financial deals] and
fall a prey and resort to indulging in providing free publicity for these
heroes.
Once well established,
these folks give subtle indications of their actual allegiance through tall
talk of selective intellectual moderation, equalitarianism and humanitarian
concerns and then get labeled as liberals. They mostly start on issues in which
even many hardcore supporters /followers have ambivalent attitudes in vast grey
areas.
This is the indication
that they are getting funded either indirectly or through some big purse awards
which gives them open license to let lose their hitherto hidden agenda in the
open.
Mostly they play on
emotional weaknesses and biases towards religion, ideology, particular forms of
region/language or religion specific art forms, certain specific channels of
news etc. In short domains which enhance ‘identity –protective cognition’ [to
use a psychological terminology- which prioritizes judging and concluding over
reasoning] which creates a sense of belonging and bond. These are mostly in the
realms of social engineering and arenas of abstract domains, not in science or
in technology or in philosophical scrutiny.
That’s why unbiasing
and rationalism must be nurtured because there are many advantages with
reasoning, as Steven Pinker says, “The beauty of reason is that it can be
always applied to understand failures of reason”.
The best tool to ward off these elements popping up very frequently is
to ensure basic economic comforts and social welfare, encourage scientific
temperament and to rationally accept or disown certain things and subtly make
one take pride in one’s culture with all its inherent beauties and blemishes
without having to defend every aspect of it [due to identity veneration] against
emerging trends which may be more appealing but less in sync with one’s culture.
