As per usual with stories like this, it's good to remember the stages of media normalisation.
Stages of Media Normalisation
Deny that an observable reality is happening. EG. Fact Check™, Debunk™, "conspiracy theory", "fringe", etc.
As evidence of claims counter to the agenda become overwhelming, acknowledge that it's happening dismissively. "It's not a big deal".
If remotely plausible, insist that the harmful reality is "good actually". EG. Tie the problem with an unintended positive "Rolling blackouts could lead to moments that might humble those used to modern luxuries". <--- *YOU ARE HERE*
Fully embrace that it's happening, but insist the people complaining about it are the real problem.
Return to ostracizing, demonizing, and persecuting the cohort that speaks the truth and asks the questions that may damage the agenda.
It's worth noting that while I think he's right about a lot of modern entitlement due to the abundance of luxuries in the modern age, the bigger issue is that this is still ultimately being used to try and push the idea that certain circumstances are somehow a "normal occurrence", even if that's not the argument he personally made. Media collusion is real, and the smaller articles still play a major role in it all.
Here, let me quote myself again.
Bolded for your convenience. If you cannot understand the concept of controlled opposition, nor the idea of creeping mentalities through entryist methodology, then you haven't been paying attention.
The worst part about all of this is that these methods aren't new, they've just gotten a little sloppy and the mask is slipping.
Learn what controlled opposition means.
