trick and our oligarchists' wet dream.

The general idea is that suspecting oligarchists of oligarchy is crazy talk. This is accomplished by creating a dichotomy in which every senseless, paranoid and far out "conspiracy theory" is linked to all currently unproven unpopular acts of oligarchy. Meanwhile, the scores of historically demonstrated oligarchical "conspiracies" are no longer considered conspiracies but merely unfortunate historical aberrations that, of course, have no bearing on any current events.
