How double binds are used to trick us into making decisions we would NEVER otherwise make, such as accepting 'The Patriot Act' and 'Holocaust Denial Laws'

We are often tricked consciously by others, or unwittingly by our own beliefs / models / maps / internalized-identified limits, into doing something we do NOT consider a good choice, by it being the lesser of two evils, and these two evils being presented as the ONLY options…when in fact there are many others. We may even feel relief at having the second option offered to us, e.g fates worse than death Vs death, and happily march to our death, feeling we have escaped something worse. When in reality the double bind offered has simply narrowed our search for solutions…it has blinkered us…thinking we may ONLY go left or right, we fail to realises we could turn around, or go straight ahead, up, or down. By pretending that the ‘only alternative’ is worse than what you want someone to agree to, you can trick them into agreeing to something they otherwise would never imagine agreeing to. Such as war. Such as giving up all their freedoms and rights, to avoid certain death from terrorists…when in fact there are millions of alternative options that would all meet the necessary and sufficient criteria / conditions for ‘homeland security’. Etc
The above is a typical ‘avoidance-avoidance’ double bind. You rush into one option offered to avoid one your think worse. You would normally avoid BOTH, e.g war, but are told you can either bomb women and children in Germany, or face a Nazi invasion of the U.S. Absurd as that fear is in reality, it is offered in a context where it is the only other alternative, and unless you realise how absurd the threat is, e.g death by terrorist much less likely than death by falling in the shower, you fall for the trick.
The other double bind is the ‘approach-approach’ where ‘you can’t have your cake and eat it to’…you are tricked into believing that you cannot have BOTH freedom AND security. As if it is impossible to protect you from ‘terrorists’ by any other means than you submitting to the loss of ALL your privacy and freedoms.

The most common 'double bind' of all is the general format. Would you like X OR Y?

This is of course our model of politics called ‘democracy’, where you are offered two Jew World Order representatives to choose from. Would you like your Jew World Order puppet to be male or female? Apparently right or left wing? Apparently for or against immigration? Apparently for or against war? You are so invested in these ‘issues’ that you fail to notice that in EVERY election that has EVER occurred, especially in the Jew.S.A, it made ZERO difference what the candidates said. They ALL did the work of the Jew World Order. They ALL brought you war, even if they promised Peace. They all raised taxes on the middle classes, directly or indirectly, even if they promised tax reductions. They all increased the size of the government, directly or indirectly, and increased government debts, less in some cases, but usually MASSIVELY.
