Manufacture moist towelettes 

When it’s so hot outside and you’re sweating so much that you would be able to take a dry piece of toilet paper and wipe your taint area as well as inner thighs and ass crack to produce a product similar to Clorox wipes.

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".

Manufacture failure 

No. This was a great idea.
Hym "No you're trying to manufacture failure to spite me but I was right about the about the targeted harassment and when your kids are dead explicitly because of it you're going to have to suck it up and keep your mouth shut about it because the people who signed off on it and the social media companies that facilitated it are 'too important.' You backed the wrong horse in the name of Jesus and be nice to women and retards and the price you will pay is child murder. You deserve it. 937 plus the ones that will inevitably occur in the future. Should have played ball. It's your own goddamn fault and you're going to suffer at the hands of your own solipsism when I get what's coming to me."

Manufactured Consent

The process by which consent is engineered through control of information, media, education, and cultural narratives. Unlike Imposed Consent (which uses direct pressure), Manufactured Consent works indirectly: shaping what people believe, what seems reasonable, what appears inevitable, until they consent to arrangements that may not serve their interests. The term comes from Herman and Chomsky's analysis of mass media, but applies broadly: advertising manufactures desire, education manufactures worldview, news manufactures reality. People genuinely believe they're choosing freely—but the options, the framing, and the information were manufactured by powers they never see.
"Americans overwhelmingly support the military, but ask them about the details of defense spending and they have no idea. That's Manufactured Consent: patriotism engineered through media, education, and culture until support feels natural, inevitable, chosen. It's not conspiracy—it's just how power works when it doesn't need to impose."
