Bob Marley says, "You can fool some people sometimes, but you can't fool all the people all the time."

Mass hypnosis and symbolic suggestion are extremely powerful forms of mind control, so people aren't exactly "falling for it." It's more like they're being dragged into it from birth through portals in the depths of their unconscious minds and brainwashed without consciously realizing it. It really takes a lot to free yourself from the grip of this programming and find your way out.
