  1. New thing goes against capitalist interests
  2. Propaganda machine manufactures consent via anti-thing news coverage
  3. This works on people who are generally aligned with internalized capitalist assumptions (ex. climate regulation is worse for humanity than allowing market forces to act unimpeded)
  4. People (conservatives) are now generally against thing and will block progress out of fear, even (and especially) if they don't really understand it on a meaningful level
  5. Status-quo is maintained through perpetuation of internalized capitalist assumptions and self-censorship by those aligned with market forces
  6. Profit (for billionaires)
