The US House of representatives is preparing to vote next week on a resolution that would deem “Free Palestine” to be “an antisemitic slogan.”

If anybody votes against this, they’ll say they voted to support Colorado terrorist attack.

Yes, that was the purpose of the curated distinction. These labels were understood in the past and intentionally muddied to disrupt unity against them.

So now, for example, instead of a liberal party and a labor party, you have 2 liberal parties. One who identifies as "liberal" while the other identifies as "conservative" but they ultimately serve the same purpose.

They want to pass the narrative that liberalism isn't a conservative ideology and vice versa because that serves their purposes. They want people to fight over which brand of liberalism they prefer, not whether they want liberalism at all.

Because

  • propaganda is most effective when defining and directing allowable discourse
  • economics as understood by the electorate needs to be simplified and restricted in order to be controlled
  • terms like ‘liberal’ have been subsumed into identity politics to direct attention away from economic possibilities
  • social issues are emotional and so more manipulable
  • this misdirection allows for a controlled opposition, much like brands on a store shelf competing for sales yet made by the same company
