Yes, in politics there is no moral or ethical high ground and even legal and constitutional matters can be managed when in power.
1.Politic is an open story but
woven around certain principles that ensure power and victory at any cost or at
all costs.
2.The principle of flexibility to accommodate euphemism for expediency
and opportunism.
3. It is open ended enough to accommodate anything and anyone as well as
get rid of anyone or anything.
4.It is a story where justifications will masquerade as reasons.
5. Till the heroes come to power no one is indispensable and that's why
they spend a few crores to go and have a lunch with a poor person insides his/
her hut; visit religious heads and prostrate at the feet of priests; do photo
ups with film stars and sports stars, in short anything or anyone they perceive
will have mass appeal emotionally and make the public numb to any logical
thinking.
6. However, once they are in power and position anyone and everyone is
dispensable, because they are too busy to be available and accessible to
anyone.
7. Human gullibility and tendency to outsource most of its activities in
the name and form of comfort was, has been and is being exploited through
command-and-control mechanism by different institutions at different points of
evolution of human history.
8. First, the religions through its heroes, divine beings, myths
and claims of epics did these.
9. After that, the empires did these.
10.Then the politicians do them.
11. Finally, a combo of politics, lobbies, mafias, big
corporates with global presence along with highly impactful technology driven
access and analysis to information with marketing and publicity have captured
this ‘command-and-control mechanism’ in the form of governments. [Bold lettered
words in points 8,9,10 and 11-grammatical order of words of sequence to be
used].
12. Sequence is important, politicians are master strategists at
managing and manipulating sequences and they are aware of and prepared to face
any consequences.
13. Present day politics requires both grasping the ‘information-rich and
data filled sequences and systems’ and play the game accordingly. In any game
victory is important, no one plays to lose any game. As technologies progress
further monitoring, surveillances will also become part of this game.
14. The vulnerabilities and gullibility of human beings have been
effectively exploited through many brainwashing techniques and propaganda
mechanisms.
15. Well nuanced narratives with catchy slogans and snatchy
communications and designed and delivered as effective tools.
As Stephen C. Meyer writes, " It is not correct to say that
we do not know how specified complexity or information content arises. We know
from experience that conscious intelligent agents can and do create specified
information-rich sequences and systems. Furthermore, experience teaches that
whenever large amounts of specified complexity or information content are
present in an artifact or entity whose causal story is known, invariably
creative intelligence -- design -- has played a causal role in the origin of
that entity".
I am extremely happy to see this video as I have always been against
overvaluing any person or product without much of utility, ability,
disproportionate trade off , not so much of aesthetic value, but has somehow
intruded into the scheme of human activities because of its ornamentation value
without much of intrinsic value [after all a carbon crystal structure]

This is the case with many human belief systems. The vulnerability and
gullibility of human beings have been effectively exploited through many
brainwashing techniques and propaganda mechanisms.
In some cases, these techniques entangle the victims into obsession and
addiction appealing to some or all the sensory organs giving sometimes some
monetary physical pleasure [ at least that is justifiable for what it is worth]
but then there are obsessions which are promoted at very high cost just for a
belief that it is a sic status symbol. It is high time the much precious time,
energy and wealth are not wasted on these trivialities hoisted on crowns and
infused with an artificial aura of greatness.
The well nuanced narratives are further spiced by appealing, titillating,
tempting presentations and endorsed by personalities who are beautiful, rich,
successful, powerful and popular.
This is a well designed and developed subject called psychopolitics, by
no means confined to politics but it spills into all domains, it has existed
much before politics as a recognized subject emerged.
In fact, every human activity that embarked on the mission of gathering and
bringing together multitude of individuals under a specific classification or
category through labels, brands, appealing slogans , symbols, heroic deeds ,
inducing with reward and punishment etc and many have been mastering this
subject of creating mass opinion moulding activities through various means.
Politics, commerce, and media have made this into a full-fledged business and
industry.
What is Psychopolitics?
I keep repeating the word ‘ the next’ just to reiterate and maintain
scrupulously the order and sequence.
Psychopolitics is the art and science of asserting and maintaining
dominion over the thoughts and loyalties of individuals, officers,
and masses and the effecting of the conquest of all others through
"mental/psychological healing."
The subject of Psychopolitics breaks down into several categories, each
a natural and logical progression from the last. Its first subject is the
constitution and anatomy of man, himself, as a political organism.
The next is an examination of man as an economic organism, as this might
be controlled by his desires.
The next is classification of State goals or religious goals for the
individual and masses.
The next is an examination of loyalties.
The next is the general subject of obedience.
The next is the anatomy of the stimulus-response mechanisms of
man.
The next is the subject of shock and endurance.
The next is categories of experience.
The next is the catalyzing and aligning of experience.
The next is the use of derogatory labels, pressures, collective
boycotting, and tortures, terrorism either promoted through religious or
political or economic identity or ideology and so on.
All in very simple terms manifestations of intolerance whatever be the
name we may give to them.
The next is the use of implantation.
The next is the general application of Psychopolitics by spreading its
octopusian tentacles
The next is the organization and use of counter-Psychopolitics.
The next is the use of Psychopolitics in the conquest of unwilling and
non co- operating inferior folks.
The next is psychopolitical organizations everywhere with some willing
local participants who are capable of operating with hidden agenda.
The next is the creation of slave philosophy in a hostile territory
making you slaves not necessarily always physically but economically,
psychologically and socially.
The next is countering anti-psychopolitical activities and the final
one, the destiny of psychopolitical rule in a so-called scientific age.
To this might be added many subcategories, such as the nullification of
individual rights and many other better options etc.
Psychopolitics is more effective particularly when used in a nation
decayed by pseudo-intellectualism in academics, national betrayal in politics,
and corruption in economic activities, cultural degradation in social life etc
and in this environment exploitation of the masses by using psycho political
actions is very easy and effective.
It starts as brainwashing and ends up subverting a whole lot of people.
Mainstream Media [MSM] plays a huge role here.
Peter Sedgwick's Psychopolitics explains in detail the process.

I shared this link two days back as to why narratives and stories are
important
