Keep people scared

Flyingsnowball

I’ve seen a lot over the years that the government want to scare people to keep them indoors.
Hence the scary news articles etc. it’s usually spouted by conspiracy theorists.

So after hours why does the government want to scare us into staying at home. What’s to gain?

They don't.

Ah the two lads again

One saying something condescending and the other trying to make a joke. Both thanking each other.
Round and round they go.

If we're at home then we aren't planning to overthrow them down the pub.
I don't know about ye but I always know how to fix the country after a few pints.

Nothing. They don’t. The government doesn’t control the media for one, secondly if we stayed at home and didn’t shop or work the economy and tax base would collapse.

Whats to gain from people being told to be afraid of the government?

OP, is there a single source for your conspiracy theory?

The premise is ridiculous and warrants no other comment than "they don't".

It wasn't condescending, just succinct.

It'd be great if they had the wherewithal to pull it off.

Outside of North Korea I can't think of another Government that could manage it.

I remember when the whole seperate your rubbish thing came in and some old guy cursing the gubberment saying they've ruined his life.
Brian Cowens ears must have been roasted.

It was all a conspiracy to keep him busy, so he couldn't get out for a few pints.

He tried just threw it all into the different bin's, no mercy...

Our row of house's got a warning letter saying someone's contaminated the last collection..

He tossed the broken deep fat friar in with the oil and all into the waste paper bin...

It was some laugh I tell you

Ok. What have you seen over the years? If a lot, as you say, then a few examples might help spark a discussion.

Of course they are going to spout and say it. Being perpetually scared is the mode of living for 90% of those lads, hence - they are the ones stuck inside all day, scared to go outside, glued to all the scary news articles in the faint hope the next spectacular September 11th is going to arrive so they can royally come all over the place off to it. These are the same boys that then blame "the government" for the fact that they are the ones that have locked their own selves, in their own houses, to feed on their own fear addiction.

Here’s a link here for the people who think everybody should have a link in their back pocket. I’d wonder what they do in real life. **** happens that doesn’t have a page on the internet sometimes.
At roughly five o clock I got home from work. There is no link for that.

actually they do, there is a concerted effort to create more laws and more control by getting people worked up and wanted state support. The tricks is to keep people uneasy and worried so they actually want these controls.

fools who spout bullsh1t like -there should be a law for/against that.

This thread sees the mixing up and befuddlement of traditional conspiracy fantasies.

I can straighten things out.

According to the orthodoxy of wacko theory people are kept scared so they buy products and services that will protect them from that which they fear. Such fears cultivated by Big business, wealth holders, the Hapsburgs and the lizard people.

Also people will accept strong state powers or draconian measures from the 'man' because those policies will protect them from the conjured bogie man.

The "keeping people in their houses" story falls short in logic and dramatic narrative.

Fear sells. The english tabloids are a good example of this. Whether it's the EU straightening bananas or immigrants stealing jobs and benefits, there's a market there for scared, angry people. It sells papers and ad-clicks.

Unfortunately, that can be advantageous to those in charge. Sometimes governments will use this fear for their own ends. Tony Blair, with the help of The Sun (headline "Brits 45mins from doom"), for example made a meal out of Saddam Hussein's threat to humanity with nonsense about being able to deploy chemical weapons within 45 minutes. You may remember that this was in fact, bullshít but it suited his aim. He wanted war and Murdoch likes money (and influence).

It isn't always like that and at times, governments want to pretend that everything is peachy. But with regard to the OP, they don't want us staying in and afraid. Sometimes they just use a bit of fear to satisfy their own ends.

So the conspiracy theorists (not you I must add for the planks who will reply not understanding you are explaining somebodies viewpoint but not agreeing with it) think things like the patriot act are passed while the government has fear levels high. Then use it to have more powers to control you?

It's to keep the private sector worker's indoors so they don't see the public sector workers getting chauffeured to work in maybacs from their mansions and yachts.

Oh I remember it well if that's it, used to live there in the 90's back in my student day's

I didn't realise THE government is question was actually the American Government. Well that's a whole different kettle of fish being flushed down the swirling toilet.

A kettle of fish would block a toilet. That’s just being facetious.

It's not so outlandish as you might think.

Real Housewives Of Sydney star Athena X Levendi revealed her less-than-glamorous side this week when she shared a video of herself cleaning her family toilet using a kettle.

Conspiracy theorists would believe that 9/11 was a 'false flag' operation to allow the US Industrial Military Complex to use force to gain greater control of Oil producing regions in the Middle East. And that there is mass surveillance of civilian population etc.

Such ideas are contingent upon human beings - in this case, those in power - having a level of intelligence, organisation, foresight and discretion that my/our experience tends to suggest isn't there.

It should be shiny side out, to act as a reflector, but the government (American I think) don't want you to know that.

Tinfoil hats let in more thought control rays than ordinary headgear. Big government have fooled the people into believing the opposite
