Take a human population, take control of all information feeds, control those feeds ( think propaganda), and then add in control of the money system......and what do you have?
A planet run, controlled and managed by a few.
Where anyone who speaks out is a "conspiracy theorist"/ "bad" person / idiot. and "society" will control them on behalf of the few elites.
Until enough people wake up....
eYESOPEn
......and you get Q-anon & #followthewhiterabbit which wakes more and more.
We get the shock / horror at waking from a nightmare (which seemed like a dream at the time) .
But if those who have awoken help those who are not quite there yet, all will be good.
The awake in history come and go as the majority are sung to sleep. Perhaps this is the time they miss the snooze button.
Hopefully.
It seems the snakes heads are being cut one by one this time around
