To effectively brainwash and mind control a population you need fear.

1. Cause. - Most recently COVID and it's "boosters". Follow up with blaming Russia and other countries for the recession.
2. Create and push a ritual and/or ceremony which relieves fear. Cloth and surgical masks and social distancing at 6 ft. Both types of masks do not work as proven by the CDC who admitted it and basic level understanding of microbes. Coughs can spread up to 17 feet and sneezes 25ft.
   Note Satan worshipers wear masks and stay 6ft apart in their rituals.
3. Make average people who do not put their lives in danger "heroes" by doing what they are told.
   Ineffective lockdowns. Wearing a mask to "protect other people". Social distancing. All proven to be far more harmful to us.
4. When the tyrant/evil manufactures that fear they can provide the action/ritual that reduces and even removes that fear.
5. That will trick/brainwash the weak minded into participating into their own enslavement and makes them willing slaves to the tyrants/evil.

Note, those who get "upset" are angry b/c they know the truth or have learned it and hate themselves for their own actions. Many still don't see it b/c their subjective, fragile reality the only place they can function.
They've made no sacrifice. They've not thought for themselves and ultimately want to blame others for their actions.
Just...like in the Bible.
People who went along with the status quo. Who were/are so obsessed in their sins they fear what the world thinks of them than what God knows.

No, you've never been a hero just for doing what you were told. During a certain era in ancient pagan Greece, the word hero emerged as a term that was taken to mean half man half God, and it was an early way of talking about the indwelling exactly as we know it today. Piety was diligence, the continuance of conscience or keeping on paying attention to your spiritual sense, like feeling that you have a guardian angel. The teaching of the uniqueness of Christ centers around the fact that only He was literally half man and half God, by the physical circumstances of His earthly birth. It's a good point of doctrine, however, modern Christianity is so polarized by pantheism and arid scholarship that a lot of people begin and end their religious studies with doctrinal notions of God the Father as pure spirit, and Jesus Christ as a human being, or that might just be me because I know Jehovah's Witnesses. They're real circular thinking tail chasers, they have the argument that Jesus isn't God and try to claim that they know God the father nevertheless, but they've never even heard of the Holy Spirit and can't account for such a subtle theology. They also deny the uniqueness of Christ by cracking on and on about the half man half demonic race they claim existed before the flood, but that was likely more demon possession than a literally spiritual circumstance of birth. Jesus is unique in that only He had a single human parent with the other divine, the watchtower can't explain that or delve into it because they haven't read the gospels and heard of it.

Off topic I know, but still true in spirit. You aren't a hero for doing what someone tells you to, just Pius or obedient.
