Since the introduction of TV and other personal electronic gadgets it is child’s play to control mass populations using little effort and no brute force, the days of overtly putting someone back in line are very much non existent.
It puts whole nations under a literal collective spell, trance or hypnotic state which allows subconscious language such as symbolism, subliminal programming and trauma based mind control to be easily installed into the viewers mind.
In the ancient past this kind of mass control or power over a collective was know as sorcery or black magic.
