Political hypocrites use and need believers of fabricated mythos, among many ill thought out conclusions.

The hypocrites are hard targets acting in fear for loss of their world view which seems coupled to personal ambitions.

Soft targets are believers and followers of the political hypocrite classes. Neutralizing these believers is a war of attrition, whenever possible avoid placating or accommodating mythos believers, in short never feed the beast. This tactic may allow civilization to continue, as we know it. Yeah, war is messy, but we seem to have already reached a similar stage the old media warned us about, when the shooting starts the truth stops.

To avoid a real war, as in trying to reason with a honey badger, our own civilized behaviors must continue to be practiced as an example to others who may observe.
