Invasions, infiltrations, corruptions, propaganda, and genocides happen in stages. You don't jump to the end stage, or the frogs jump out of the pot. The initial advertising of sex in media was to get men hooked on porn. It worked. Now that men are hooked on porn (which is freely available all over the internet), they've shifted mainstream media to demoralization and normalization of ugliness. This is what the Soviets did to demoralize their people through architecture (brutalism).
Boom. there are steps. It's a process. That's why the narrative always shifts on any given "controversial" issue.
For example: There is no inflation
Okay, there is inflation but it's minimal
Okay, the inflation isn't minimal but it's temporary (the word they used was transitory)
Okay, the inflation isn't temporary but inflation is actually a good thing
And finally....
Okay, inflation isnt a good thing, but it's actually Trump's fault.
They don't jump straight to blaming Trump because no one would believe it (yet). They need to be slowly led to that conclusion via a series of lies and gaslighting. So they start with a small lie and gradually grow it.
