One of the problems we face today is that socialists/communists have learned and apply
this lesson to the masses.
Everything is a campaign, a crisis, a solution that
must be expediently accepted, if not for your own good
for the good of “others”.
Look around, pay attention, it’s the Delphi Technique
writ large and it’s being used everyday.
I had to look up the “Delphi method”. It is an organized groupthink, use to arrive at a consensus, by first determining what attitudes each individual has, through filling out a questionnaire, then comparting answers, and after having filled out a second questionnaire, again compare how attitudes may have been changed or modified by what everybody else is thinking. As discussion continues, all attitudes converge on an overall agreement, and diversity of thought is discarded along the way.
The herd is heard to the exclusion of all else.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
- H. L. Mencken

Yup, sure is
