Borism - The transformation of elective parliamentary democracy to ruthless dictatorship in 5 stages:
1. The community taking over all the arms of government is always numerically tiny.
2. The creation of a nationwide campaign of fear or terror.
3. When people are badly frightened, they are extremely gullible. They will believe whatever they are told. Figures are cooked, statistics cobbled, research stultified, to endorse the death-is-everywhere message.
4. The assurance from the tiny group that they and only they can save us from a horrible fate, but only if we all abide by and obey a tidal wave of rules and regulations - no matter if these destroy the nation we once knew and loved. Fear, deliberately inspired fear, rules supreme.
There will always be dissenters, who must be dealt with.
5. Creation of a sort of secret police to spy, pounce and punish.

This led to the Plum Pudding Riots.
The Puritan government tried to cancel Christmas and insisted that shops be open on Christmas Day.
Few shops opened and the locals of Canterbury decided to play football instead with inflated pig bladders. The mob ripped through the streets of Canterbury paying particular attention to breaking windows. A game of football had turned into a full-blown riot. Plum pudding, mince pies and ale were enjoyed by most all.

Ideological subversion, or “active measures”, is a form of psychological warfare. Programmed to react to stimuli but unable to change perception or logic. Moral standards, facts and common sense have no meaning. Forever process of new normal – problem, reaction, solution. Social credit scores. Order ab chao.
