If a person is deceived, and has no way of knowing they were deceived, they are not at fault for the evil done to them; an example would be the innocence of children, the children DID NOT groom themselves. The innocent who did not know are not at fault. Those who blame themselves, or the innocent, do not have understanding as to how this this unholy manipulation works. Its wrong to knowingly groom people -as a parent or caregiver, teacher, or person in authority -thru education, politics, ads or movies or shows on tv, - thru doctors, lawyers, counselors - using deception against others to gain an advantage to harm, rob, manipulate, control, or destroy is evil. Sadly, there are people who see no harm in deception for manipulating, grooming, and profit. Love, in truth, in purity, brings to light what is hidden in shadows without condemnation or shame to the innocent individuals who had no idea what was being done to them.

I like this take, I think you're right on the money (pun intended)

What is important to remember is that there is not one single, unified "they" - Many people, groups and collectives use dirty tricks for their own gain. Some conspire together, some don't, some do it unknowingly thinking they are in control.

MSM, Telegram channels, Russian media, Ukrainian media, politicians, lobbyists, megacorp executives.

They vibe off of each other as much as they abuse each other in the same way they abuse us.

Change will only happen if we know who we are fighting, and too many of the folks here still think it's people they disagree with. It's not.
