The Age of Weaponized Question– Part 11
Just how sacrifice is reframed as commitment, and challenge ends up being evidence of devotion.
Satisfaction ends up being the price tag of obedience.
Force can keep people quiet, yet it can not keep them honored
Tyrannical leaders understand they can not rule on worry alone. Soldiers and prisons apply obedience in the roads. At home, one more script unfolds:
Compromise comes to be commitment. Hardship becomes satisfaction. Discomfort ends up being patriotism.
They reframe cravings, lacks, higher costs– and turn them into badges of honor.
And question is the hook. Doubt murmurs: convenience is weakness. Prosperity is hazardous. Only sacrifice confirms devotion.
Once that seed is grown, challenge feels much less like failure and a lot more like evidence of love for the country.

People were informed to approve less, pay even more, and wait longer Why? Since it implied Germany was strong, unbent by foreign markets.
