Culprits are recruited


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.
