Rationality is too complex for incompetent corrupters, so they use rudimentary mechanisms to get what they want. Their primary mechanism is to create an intolerable corruption as a challenge. Everything about rational existence is challenged by that which is intolerable.

To challenge is to create an opposing force. Everything follows. The first thing noticeable is who the opponents are. Getting them identified allows follow up.

The persons who come into the open to oppose the intolerable corruption get the works. They get blamed for creating the problem which the incompetent corrupters are supposedly trying to solve.

That process is called "projection" in psychology. Corrupters project their corruptions onto opponents as a justification mechanism.

One of the things projection does is drag opponents to the same level as the corrupters. Rational persons cannot function at that level. So the corrupters cannot lose attacking them.

After opponents get identified and smeared, the corrupters pretend that they always were opposed to the corruption and their opponents created the problem.

In history, only the broadest outlines are visible. We now see how the details work. It's how all rational societies are destroyed. The process never changes, because it operates below the level of awareness.

Corrupters do no evaluating. They lash out. When they see rationality as a problem, they throw out intolerable corruption, which is a weapon against rationality. Lying about what happened is their day to day activity.

A variation of the mechanism shows up in physics as relativity. Relativity is in conflict with all elements of physics or laws of the universe. Anyone who cannot accept it is kicked out of physics. Anyone who wants to remain in physics must become a part of a fraud machine tested by their acceptance of relativity.
