"The vitriol is sufficient to send a message that they are propagandizing the film, but if they would dial it back a bit they would be more believable."
Are they very worried about believability? I think they are so confident in their control of the mainstream media (and most other institutions) that they no longer need to bother with the lie that they are "unbiased" or are reporting the truth. They are just announcing the new lie. And, obeying Rule 4, they all support it in lockstep.
I think you're right that they think their control is iron clad. The question is, are they right about that? Bud Light did their ad campaign with a man pretending to be a woman and disaster ensued. Maybe they really thought the thinking of the country had been changed to that extent (No. 3) but they were wrong, and that people hadn't really changed their thinking but just tolerated the BS. Maybe they know the country doesn't support it but, as you say, they are announcing the lie that we are supposed to pretend to embrace. Dalrymple effect. Hard to say. I think they are so arrogant that they think they are talking to the rubes and they can say anything. I like to say that consequences of arrogance is foolishness. Ayn Rand said that you can ignore reality but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.
As an aside: I ordered and just received "Death by Govt." Can't wait to read it. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm working on an article now on depopulation, so the timing is great.

Another thought. Maybe the bud light thing was a test to see how well number 3 is working. (That should mark me as a conspiracy theorist.)
I always find this guy interesting

We should use the five rules against them.
Another great article! Thank you .
