Brexit : Triggering as a tactic of film makers, bullies and political power establishments.
In simple terms what I am exploring here is the media campaign tactic system that is a bit like a shit stirrer in an office whispering into different peoples ears that 'that person thinks you're a bit of a shit' in order to start an argument, to escalate a fight, for either pleasure or profit.
Either way, it’s all about power. The power to trigger others without their understanding it, or the use of the tactic to exercise and leverage power.
The Power Establishment are experts at that and we have to become expert at spotting it and deconstructing it and not getting caught up in it.
That also means we need to get to know ourselves a little better.
1. We must understand that the intent behind the xenophobic materials published by UKIP management, and the Murdoch press and other right wing media was twofold :
a) To give the impression that there are a lot more racists around than there actually are, and that they have a greater power than they really do. To inflate.
b) It
was also designed to mask the expected protest vote which had nothing to do
with these traits. They needed to garner that vote and at the same time neutralise it's meaning.
The protest vote was a rejection of all Governments of the past 40 years or so, a rejection by working class low income folk whose voice Westminster and the intelligentsia sneers at - poverty porn was no accident and it was always propaganda, rather than documentary.
The media deliberately portrayed that protest to look like a significant percentage of Leavers were 'racists and xenophobes' whereas they were simply saying 'No!' to what they perceived as the Establishment's self assurance - and of course, the 'progressives' who still consume Mefia News fell for this ruse, and now the grass roots are calling each other names based on a media set-up and it is getting personal, which raises the intensity.
Lateral Violence...

2. We must listen to each other, we must listen to real people's real concerns, and try to understand what difficulties they are faced
with, try to see how they feel for their children's futures.
We must connect to that, we must ignore the set-up, see past the bipolarity and adversarial dynamics and acknowledge the abuse of Government that afflicts us all, and be aware of the lack of their voice in political mainstream discourse. If people who are being bullied feel heard, then they too can listen. Then we can begin to deconstruct the opinion from the evidence. As a sharing, a learning, a building of solidarity.

3. We must understand fame and celebrity. Media can report 20 incidents and make it look like a massive surge. That is
part of the tactical approach of media serving power. The violence of a few
nasty street thugs, who are a tiny minority in this country can be made to look
much greater than it is. The media are doing this, on all 'sides' to inflame
the situation. This divides us further.
How Bullying works….
“Bullying is a form of scapegoating and projection." We know that scapegoating is a hostile socio-psychological discrediting operation in which people move blame and responsibility away from themselves and towards a target person or group.
It is also a practice were angry feelings and inappropriate accusation are placed on others. Quite understandably, the target feels persecuted and receives misplaced vilification, blame and criticism; and the victim is likely to suffer rejection from those who the perpetrator seeks to influence and again, an increasing feeling of isolation.
We live in a society where bullying has become increasingly acceptable, and certainly, as form of doing politics.”
I suggest you follow the link and read this very accurate and informative blog on How Bullying Works in Politics, written by Kitty Jones. It covers the tactics of the bully in quick and accessible detail, and yet lays out the complexity of this subject.
Bearing in mind that in British Schools, 45% of children report being bullied and no Government program has been successful at reducing that number. Which does not surprise me as coercive education is institutional bullying.
Please examine your reactions and emotions, and try to see where you have been triggered, and please stop calling all ‘leavers’ xenophobes and all ’remainers’ selfish middle class landlord traitors!
We can see patterns across society, yet it is really inaccurate to apply those patterns to every individual, and you have to talk to individuals, in some depth, to see where they are coming from. Do not let the media project nasty shit onto millions of people you do not know.

Manipulation by emotional theatre.
The recent videos of Ian Duncan Smith and Anna Eagle crying are theatre.
These are supposedly mature adults, both of whom have supported policies of extreme cruelty (ATOS and Iraq) based on false assumptions and wildly off beam justifications, with horrific outcomes for real people, which they both ignore and dismiss as irrelevant, and who are entrusted with the duty of care inherent in administering the utilisation of our shared contributions, the taxes we all pay into the Excehquer.
Outcomes indicate intention, especially if the pattern of action and outcome is repeated.
The poverty in Britain is a direct result of Government Policies, whoever has been in Government, whoever has been in opposition.
They want poverty to happen. They want war to happen. Only it doesn’t ‘happen’.
The presence and persistence of poverty is induced.
Man made. Power made. Power mad.
They used my taxes to cause all this harm.
They used your taxes to cause all this harm.
They used our taxes to cause all this harm, and more.
So much more.
Millions of British children living in relative poverty.
Millions of parents living in poverty.
Food banks, investment banks. Both growing.
Buy-to-let promoted by Government, driving rents up, driving low income families and individuals, entire communities out.
There's something deeply, profoundly wrong with that.
And those tears. Really?
They just don’t care. They
The Brexit vote was an expression of that knowledge. They just don’t care.
They will try to manipulate us any way they can think of.
They do not care about the low income folk, in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Palestine, Africa, South East Asia, America.
Working class people, all of us. We will never be landlords. We don’t want to be landlords.
They are institutionalised bullies.
"Having narrowly won the general election, the Tories are now trying to rig the system to keep themselves in power, and weaken opposition both inside and outside parliament.
Late last year they drove through a new voter registration scheme that will slash the number of young and inner-city voters. And later this Parliament they will cut the number of parliamentary seats. The Conservatives are gerrymandering the electoral system to benefit themselves.
By directly attacking Labour’s funding through their trade union bill and by cutting public Short money support for opposition parties’ research, they are deliberately setting out to constrain democratic accountability.
Add to that their “gagging law”, which prevents charities, unions and thinktanks from taking part in political debate near election time.
Their threats to use the BBC’s charter renewal to hack away at its independence;
Their packing of the House of Lords with Tory peers; their moves to restrict the powers of local councils, it all adds up to a serious attack on democratic rights and freedoms
.
Theirs is the party funded by hedge funds backed by a press owned by multi-millionaire or even billionaire tax avoiders.
Their concept of fairness is of a very different order to ours. Fairness for only a few is not fairness, but privilege."
So says Jeremy Corbyn, so says the evidence. They do not care.
All this for power, as an end in and of itself.
The Power Establishment.
They are all deeply, profoundly opposed to any threat to their dominance of the British people and economy. It’s personal for them.

Corbyn
is not. Quite the opposite.
Their concerns are with Power over the people; not with the people.
Corbyn and those who genuinely support him are not willing to accept that Government is power over the people. We pay their wages.
The moves against Jeremy Corbyn and the movement which he is re-presenting are all about Power, and those who oppose him seek power as an end in and of itself, through which they project their one prejudices. We pay the price.
Gaslighting is another tactic of the bully system. It is designed to undermine the targets sense of self, and leave the target open to suggestion or to alter the targets perception to suit the bully. It can be difficult to identify.
They are very good at gaslighting.
Just so you know.
NeoLiberalism.
It is the ideology and the lack of natural empathy towards those they rule over, thopse they feel threatened by. That latter dynamic created the ideology.
We need to diagnose correctly the situation.
Our situation.
Fast!
