promoted Viewpoint B: We should have almost really high taxes on labor

ignored Viewpoints C through Z: Taxation of labor is theft

This remains true despite the increasingly obvious fact that Chomsky himself is part of that function. What he’s describing is the “fake binary”. The imposition of the idea that Viewpoint A is the official approved narrative and that Viewpoint B is therefore its antithesis. Points C through Z can therefore be ignored. The fact hidden in plain sight being that both Viewpoint A and Viewpoint B actually reinforce the overarching narrative being sold and both lead to the same place. It’s an incredibly effective management tool. A fake binary allows you to not just manipulate the conformist Normies who automatically obey, but also those who consider themselves to be ‘anti-establishment’, contrarians or ‘rebels’. How are fake binaries created? They are often initially introduced by the following methods…

💢Using the legacy media to widely publicize Viewpoint B while appearing to deny, refute or ridicule it.

💢 “Leaking” allegedly confidential documents that “expose” Viewpoint B as the “hidden truth”. This is usually done through the legacy media, though it’s more effective if you can seed it through the indy media sector.

💢 Creating entities that are tagged as “anti-establishment” but given a mass following, and feeding them Viewpoint B material.

Once Viewpoint B becomes a dominant “anti-establishment” view you can afford to sit back and allow the oppositional instinct in human nature to do your work for you, and reinforce the fake binary you created without the slightest awareness this is what is happening. It becomes widely understood that the only solution to the obvious and real evils of Viewpoint A is Viewpoint B. The fact Viewpoint B actually concedes all the same falsehoods contained in Viewpoint A remains unnoticed and anyone pointing this out tends to be attacked by both sides.

Fake binaries are a godsend to the opinion-managers.

We’ll be talking more about this in the near future…

OK, let's be contentious!

Are men and women really a binary split? Consider how they are made. They all start as cells which get duplicated. Each cell has a complete copy of the plan in it. There is no difference between the sexes apart from that plan.

What makes the differences is the processing steps that happen to those cells as they replicate. Different chemicals become applied at different times to make the different end results. The plan specifies what should arrive when.

Imagine building a house from bricks where each brick has a copy of the plan inside it. You plan to build either a two-storey house or a single-storey bungalow. However, in your house build the bricks for the upper floor do not arrive on time. On a house build you would wait but human development does not wait. So time would elapse while the upper floor was not being built and then the roofing materials would arrive and be put in place on top of the single storey.

Then the staircase would be fitted. Some houses would be single-storey but with a staircase. Not quite as binary as we intended. People develop the same way.
