About This Article
The increasing prevalence of scams, online fraud, and fear-inducing tactics pose significant risks to societal stability and economic security. These strategies can weaken social cohesion, undermine trust in institutions, and erode confidence in both economic and political systems, making the population more vulnerable to manipulation and control.
Those in power may exploit a traumatized populace by amplifying fears and offering solutions that appear to address these concerns, but which ultimately serve to consolidate authority and reduce public resistance. This dynamic can lead to a more passive and compliant society, where fear and anxiety are used to justify actions that might undermine democratic principles.
