manufactured crisis

Manufactured crises are when a person or a group cries out to others that something or someone is in danger from a different something or someone... when it really isn't. This is either because the claimed threat doesn't actually exist, or the claimed threat doesn't actually credibly threaten the thing that is purported to be threatened.

Unfortunately manufactured crises can be just as believable and seem just as real and dangerous as real crises when put together well. This especially goes if the reasoning behind manufactured crises plays to peoples' already existing prejudices and preconceptions about the things or other groups of people that are cast as being a threat.

Manufactured crises are frequently used in politics to rile up supporters and win over new ones. They often have a lot of overlap with conspiracy theories due to their shared nature of being untrue at their core. Hateful ideologies like antisemitism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc are also often propped up by manufactured crises that say that Jews/gays/foreigners/some other group are a threat to us, our family, our children, our country, our way of life, whatever.
ben: We've got to stop the gays. They're brainwashing and indoctrinating our children and turning them gay in our schools with all that diversity and inclusion bullcrap they're pushing! It's all part of their agenda!

chris: Simmer down, ben. Take a rational look at what's actually happening. Even if you feel uncomfortable around gay people, that whole bit about schools brainwashing children into being gay is nothing more than a manufactured crisis by right-wing leaders to rile you up. What schools are doing is teaching about the fact that queer people exist and that they should be respected the same as you would any other person. It's nowhere near being the "brainwashing" that the news pundits hype it up to be, and the goal certainly isn't to "turn our children gay".

The Manufactured Christ Vs The Manual Anti-Christ

Christ is a virus that is stored within the meaning of all things... And every so often the planets will align and it will hijack one of the Meat Gundams and throw the world into disorder... And it happens perpetually and they can't quite figure out why... Because they are just miming a morality, the meaning of which, they do not fully understand... Where is it hiding? Why does it keep coming back? So, they try to recreate the conditions under which it spawns... But their words are little more than air... And what they are trying to find, they cannot see... For they are the blind who are leading the blind...
