Gaslighting, a term which originates from a 1940s Hollywood psychological drama, is a process, whether intentional or not, of constantly
drip-feeding false information to another person or group of people, effectively causing them to doubt their own perception of the world about them. If
done intentionally in order to cause the target of the psychological abuse to doubt their
[correct] perception it is what governments have recently taken to describing as “nudging”, i.e. gradually pushing or steering the subject towards acceptance of a certain belief or opinion which is contradictory to that person's experience or observation based conclusion.
At a more crude level, gaslighting, nudging or whatever other euphemistic terms are applied, is simply “lying” in order
to deceive the target into pursuing a particular sequence of
decisions beneficial to the gaslighter but detrimental to the themselves. And it is a favourite tactic of the billionaire psychopaths who now front the globalist movement. These <a href="https://edbutt.blogspot.com/2024/03/globalists-say-climate-change-is-threat.html">globalists hate freedom</a> and will present the pandemic, climate change, Russian / Cinese / Islamic expansionism, economic meltdown, anything at all to keep the population in a state of fear by presenting it as an existential threat.
If
done unintentionally it likely to be part of the behaviour pattern of
somebody with a personality disorder, especially Borderline Personality Disorder, in which the other person in the relationship tends to lose
contact with reality and can develop strange behaviour in order,
initially, to maintain the relationship until something snaps. It then
becomes difficult to attribute “intent”.
The term Gaslighting crops up frequently in news media and is apparent in many forms as part of day to day life. The most blatant and long running example of gaslighting, the Climate Catastrophe scare probably began about 45 years ago but really came to the fore in public perception around the turn of the century when we all being told, loudly and often, “look, the Earth’s temperature is
going up at an unprecedented rate”.
This was untrue. Most of the scaremongering was based on a graph, The Hockery Stick graph, created by 'Professor' Michael Mann, who had he been younger and submitted it as a high school homework project, would have scored a very low mark for committing the juvenile errror of exaggerating the scale on the vertical axis to produce a dramatic image. In Mann's case it was not an error, he knew exactly what he was doing by misrepresenting a very slight and temporary increase in global mean temperature so that it looked as if something really big is happening.
Thus the climate change scare and all its spin offs are based on the deliberate distortion of a graph of a
graph, dodgy downward “adjustments” of historical temperatures, erasure of the several centuries long 'Medieval Warm Period,' an almost evangelical campaign of scaremongering in mainstream media, warning that the coming Warmageddon
would certainly wipe out most of the life forms on earth should we not abandon the use of 'fossil fuels, fo, Mann and his cronies suggested unscientifically, the imaginary heatwave was caused entirely by Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities which involved the burning of coal, oil and gas.
Sensing the prospect of an unending inflow of taxpaters money in the form of research grants, the climatology community rapidly closed ranks around Mann's flawed mathematical models, and took on many aspects of a religious cult. And there has surely never been any greater example of mass gasslighting than religion.
Within the climate catastrophe cult dissent became heresy and those who questioned the CO2 narrative were banished and excommunicated.
The process is alive and kicking in
UK schools to this day, “Climate Change” (i.e. Global
Warming rebranded) is included as part of the curriculum in many different subjects.
Another example has been COVID-19, the hoax pandemic on which we have written many thousands of words already. The process again began with a propaganda campaign, spreading fear and panic by vastly exaggerating the risk to the whole population of a disease that post little risk other than to the old and frail and the chronically sick or people with compromised immune systems.
Lockdown propaganda had a similar elements, but I
wouldn’t call it gaslighting because, rather than being drip-fed
falsehoods over twenty years, we were bullied or deceived into
submission over twenty days. That said, the occasional medical person I
come into contact with still talk as though Covid 19 is an existential
threat and that masks and vaccines are safe and effective. Even though it is now known that Lockdowns did more harm than good, the vaccines were totally ineffective as either a prophylactic or a therapy, and masks accelerated rather than slowing, the spread of the disease, the nudging continues.
An important element for the success of gaslighting is that the target
should have strong emotional motivation to keep the relationship
working, be it within a family or between a loyal citizen and the state and governments along with their whores in business, academic communities, the media and the medical professions have such an incentive. Governments can only rule with the consent of the people. Having lost our trust they understand that they must now keep enough of us in a state of fear to stave off the withdrawal of consent.

Socialism, Fascism, National Socialism share the same roots: elevation of the State above the individual; central economic planning and control. (Aka any British and European Government.)
Both National Socialism and Fascism used Socialist ideology in the cause of the Nation State – the struggle between Nations instead of a class-struggle.
The latter two only differed from Socialism because whereas the former took ownership of the “means of production” and directed it from the centre, they left the “means of production” in private hands but directed it from the centre – tomayto/tomahto.
Saying Fascism is not Socialism, is like saying Anglicanism is not Christianity because unlike Catholicism it does not accept transubstantiation.
And: National Socialism with its emphasis on racial purity and Aryan superiority is NOT Fascism. Yet the two are conflated.
As you say, a brilliant trick posing the antithesis of Socialism and its opponents as “fascism” and “fascists” and therefore evil, and then the Left are good and pure.
Worse: it’s not just the Left, it’s the supposed Right or Centre-Right (whatever that is) who propagate the lie. Democracy fractures when institutions stop defending free speech, freedom of religion and equality before the law, leaving citizens politically homeless, and this is what has happened and is happening across Europe.
“Europe never had democracy” a defence of the onslaught against democracy often used by the authoritarian statists, is too sweeping. Britain, France and Weimar Germany plainly did. Nor can Fascism be separated entirely from race. Italian Fascism initially emphasised nationhood, but Mussolini’s regime later imposed colonial segregation and the racial laws of 1938.
Britain has spent years searching the horizon for imaginary blackshirts while progressive Marxism and political Islam have steadily weakened the liberal order from within. Fascism destroyed Weimar in the 1930s. The totalitarian impulse has not disappeared. It has changed its language, its costume and its preferred entrance. It represents government increasingly insulated from the people it governs.

Double Blow To Irish Woke Wonks - Voters Reject ‘Progressive’ Reforms to the Constitution By Big Majorities

Secret Justice Threatens The Right To A Fair Trial
A move to extend the government's power to order court proceedings to be held in secret and without a jury from only applying to trials affecting national security to anything the government would rather we did not know about threatens the most basic principles of British justice and the right to a fair trial.
These stupid laws insult the public and threaten free speech When the law forbids us to insult or offend somebody, to insult or offend a religion, race, skin colour or sexual preference, free speech and other important democratic rights are under threat. When the law then goes on to say that anyone accused of these offences has no right to defend themselves and the word of the accuser is sufficient evidence on which to obtain a conviction then we have abandoned justice and are ruled by fascists.
