scarecity

Dire-sounding "supplies are limited" claims to get you to act, buy, create, etc.

Telling a junk-food junkie that "There's a worldwide shortage of chocolate" or "Potato-chip companies are scrambling to keep up with demand" may indeed sometimes prompt said unwise indulgers to temporarily cut back on their intake of said empty-calorie-laden comestibles, but once they find out about the bogusness of said "scarecity", they'll likely just go right back to gluttonously stuffing their faces with sugary/salty crap!

Scarcity Rationalization

The ideological claim that resources are inherently and permanently insufficient to meet human needs, used to justify inequality, hoarding, and the exclusion of certain groups from access. It presents a contingent political choice—who gets what—as an immutable law of nature, framing greed as prudence and sharing as naive.

Example: "There just isn't enough to go around," said by a wealthy nation debating healthcare or housing, while immense wealth concentrates at the top. This scarcity rationalization masks artificial, politically-engineered scarcity (e.g., vacant investment properties, drug patents) to naturalize deprivation and defeat demands for redistribution.
