They come in swarms devouring all signs of intelligence in their path. Soon the world will be thrown back into a primitive state where humans will be at the mercy of superstition and paranoid delusions of invisible gods speaking through high priests as they sacrifice their children on an alter of fire. Men will be reduced to being head hunters and cannibalism.

Yes, the politician's manipulation to justify massive spending and mobilization of resources. If they were honest, they might say that "we have initiated a large scale program that is well-funded and well-administered in order to address this issue."
That doesn't have the same tonal quality as A War on the Color Magenta or A War on Little Pesky Bugs.

You're right. The former sure sounds...well a lot less "manly".

I believe it's even more insidious than that. The masses are brainwashed into stupefaction. They've laid the foundation for gridlock, and they hold the key to the schematics. Those that can see through the mirage know that a revolution is futile. They're going to pull the plug. Just a matter of time.

But if one can figure out what the truth is, then one wouldn't have need of doubt.
You sound like a warrior in the multi-front War On Doubt. Religionists, ideologues, spin doctors, cultists, advertising companies, politicians, propagandists... they're all doing their bit to replace healthy doubt with the various Certainties they peddle.
