This would be a 180 degree turn from what has been the standard in the Post World War II Mythos Era where the STICK, daily humiliation rituals, and constant targeted propaganda at the host nation has been replaced with an overdose of the CARROT. Take propaganda itself, or "Public Relations" as it is called these days. The purpose of propaganda, at least in its late stage form (post Cold War), was not to inform you, or deceive you or even manipulate you. Its purpose was to humiliate you. Its purpose was to be so outlandish, so ridiculous and so blatantly untrue and yet totally undeniable in order to reinforce the power of the state. The Soviets referred to this as "hypernormalisation". That is - the state of everyone saying things that are completely false and that they know to be false - but which they cannot deny - Then everyone is forced to repeat this lie and thus they become complicit in it - It was a system of total social humiliation to force compliance. But now with this new reality, a reality just for (You), they don't need to humiliate and degrade the cattle anymore they can simply give them everything they ever wanted and punish those who refuse to eat from the poisoned fruit.
