Thanks for the thought invoking OP.

One of the covers that is used often and most recently during the early stages of COVID is that they don’t want panic. Somehow the general public is too “hysterical” (a patronizing perjorative word) to handle, metabolize, and deal with certain truths. While the steely ruling class can evenhandedly and morally control the situation from on high. Always. This whole concept is anti-democratic and pure patriarchy.
