I've seen my friends use this tactic all the time with their children to get them to pick option A or B, both things the parents want. It's funny even as adults we miss that there are so many other options of only we would think about it a bit more.
The four-stroke regime is a two-story state. When people hear one story, they tend to ask: is this true? When they hear two stories, they tend to ask: which one of these is true? Isn’t this a neat trick? Maybe our whole world is built on it. Any point on which both poles concur is shared story: “uncontroversial, bipartisan consensus.”
Shared story has root privilege. It has no natural enemies and is automatically true. Injecting ideas into it is nontrivial and hence lucrative; this profession is called “PR.”
There is no reason to assume that either pole of the spectrum of conflict, or the middle, or the shared story, is any closer to reality than the single pole of the one-story state.
Dividing the narrative has not answered the old question: is any of this true? Rather, it has… dodged it. Stagecraft!
Something interesting I've noticed in my time here on Earth: we have something like 7 billion++ humans (and human brains) at our disposal, with most of them networked via the internet, and yet we only use <<< 1% of these brains to solve our many problems.
Now if this was a sitcom or something this would be pure hilarity, but since this seems to be the real deal, it is more so horrific (though, still hilarious imho).
What should one do if one finds oneself awakening into a situation where one is trapped on a planet in the middle of this situation?
I never saw the NHS advert from vote leave but it swayed a lot of my Mum's friends. My husband's demographic got fearful stories of boats heaving with refugees aka "migrants", and stories about whites being outnumbered by dark skinned people, ex forces men were told that anyone who supported the EU was pro Germany and a traitor... So not actually so positive really. Remain campaign didn't believe people would be so stupid actually. How wrong we were.

Great post, it is a sad situation indeed.
