It’s called a “false flag.” A quintessential example is the US involvement in the Pearl Harbor attack to get the necessary support for war. Another is the stories about babies being removed from ventilators to get support for war with Iraq. It’s pretty standard governance.

Financial abuse. Like in families. An air of respectability. Normalcy. While they slowly drown the ones around them, w a smile, the ones they want to control esp who fight their control. And the ones who have power, who could do something, pretend not to notice. Evil walking.

People who suggest "Capitalism" have been misinformed. Capitalism is when "the people" own the means of production & Socialism/Communism is when the government does. So being deceived into thinking giving this power to government will end our problems is foolishness.

You have it within your question. “Government” is always “trauma” to the citizens.

It’s called Socialism or collectivism, or in a phrase, “I know what’s best for you”.
