Here's a case I hear ever so often in our circles:
>"YoU hAtE iMmIgRaNtS"
> "YoU hAtE x"
translation: we have created an ecosystem where protected classes xyz now control whether your opinion can be expressed or not, and your resentment foisted against this state of affairs is being redirected intentionally towards the innocent pawns we use rather than the overall system which created the conflict.
During the war on terror, America invaded Afghanistan and turned an islamic country founded on centuries of arab-muslim tradition into a "liberal democracy". In the "liberal democracy", it was to be ruled by non-muslims, the occupying Americans, while they tried to destroy and alter how Afghans viewed the world. Of course, a decade later nothing had changed at all aside the population rabidly disliking the American occupation. Islam came back, Muslims again ruled the country they had always ruled, and the state of affairs went right back to how it was.
But what tactics were being used by the occupying force to have the Muslims give up? Well, it had a physical presence but it was also cultural. Certain state department officials have discussed it. The goal was to change the ecology, freeze it (using illegitimate tools), and then hold and enculture the population into believing it was just. Much like how the colonial powers of the last century tried to have the enslaved populations internalize the notion that the raj, the British empire etc worked in their favor when actually it did not. Clearly as such.
Today, the immigration question is framed and applied in exactly the same way. Countries have been radically changed without consent, laws have been radically changed the oppress the population, and naturally the country is in a great state of disequilibrium. Of course, if you are so stupid as to ask the ruling class which created this problem and is now trying to force residents to live under it, they would say something to the effect of:
< "I am the new center, we're the consensus, you must mold yourself to our views, we're going to persecute you if you disagree with us, everyone agrees with the colonial authorities, we're going to win".
*Wherein centerism is simply the central consensus that all actors must agree to the stipends of the power holder.
