That genie is out of the bottle, and very well funded, so the antidote is grass roots awareness, emotional intelligence education, logical fallacy spotting, defusing those false arguments and somehow nurturing more solidarity at grass roots as most of us are indeed decent people.
It is the decency among us that drives the almost desperation of the adverse influencing. That decent is perceived as a threat to those who are indecent. The main threat is being held accountable, which they see as punishment, and we see as prevention.
None of this is new. What is new is the capability of micro-targeting via psychometrics, targeting groups/individuals, to exacerbate emotional reactivity, drive behaviour change for gain.
