Creating fake binary

The “fake binary” is 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 is that both Viewpoint A and Viewpoint B actually reinforce the overarching narrative being sold and both lead to the same place.  Fake binaries are a godsend to the opinion-managers.

Fake binaries may be introduced by the following methods:

• Widely publicize the alternative, non-official, viewpoint (Viewpoint B) while appearing to deny, refute or ridicule it.
• Leak allegedly confidential documents that “expose” Viewpoint B as the “hidden truth”.
• Create entities or infiltrate “anti-establishment” organizations and feed them Viewpoint B material.
• Once Viewpoint B becomes a dominant “anti-establishment” view, allow the oppositional instinct in human nature to reinforce the fake binary so created.
