You aren't wrong, not at all, but this is the general notion of what both parties do. What better propaganda than that created to give people this illusion? Literally using what the government gives them to...try to change the government?

That seems rather strange that people truly think they can change the government this way. For example. The claim that there was Russia interference in the 2016 election and Trump wasn't the legitament president. Weird, because there was all these "official government agencies" that said it was true. Strange because nothing happened despite all this. My guess is that this will be the same outcome about the January 6th insurrection. Note, there was no insurrection. If there was, you'd know how the US would handle a real one. There wouldn't be a single breathing person afterwards among the insurrectionists. Oddly. We have an insurrection act, too.

So we can't change the government with the tools they give us. To prove this true, we need only try...oh and as you pointed out, our government lies about everything. How about those weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? We look pretty stupid invading a country on the premise and then then learn there never were any. "They moved them". Sure, you knew where they were and then had no idea of where they went? Who has them now? You don't know? Sure I believe that... ;)

This brings up the point I made that we can't change the government and the evidence is in trying. Remember the overturning of Roe V. Wade last year? Women protesting their hearts out and vowing to vote out Republicans? Then when the time came they failed and Biden said 'sorry, better luck next time'. No, these women didn't fall short, they were fighting an illusion. The outcome of our rights are predetermined. We still are fighting the same civil rights battles of the 1960's but we dressed up the issue to make it look like we succeeded.

You describe this as live action role play. I don't know, rather dress up as a Lord of the Rings character and reenact a scene because it would look more real. As you pointed out, these resistence protests are government sponsored. They want you to do this, to behave this way, to have those views. 'There is no one more hopeless enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.'

Regarding the "insurrection" - it's the same tactics over and over of accusing others of what they do themselves. There was a very brazen insurrection by olygarchy against the people by means of the election process, so they turned the tables and accused the aggrieved party to shift the narrative. Same with vaccines, same with Ukraine war, etc, etc.

That's the strategy they use to divide people and generate a polarized position. It was the example I had used. The Iraq war was another, now we have the Ukrainian war with focus on Putin. Vaccines were politicians despite people having opposition since their inception. People will get tired of the Ukrainan war and there will be a new distraction that people will fixate on. You are right, it really is the same things over and over, it gets tiresome/tedious because people really don't notice the patterns.
