Tactics of Alienation

The tactics of alienation refer to strategies used to create distance or disconnection between individuals and their environment, community, or sense of self. This can involve promoting consumerism to shift focus away from meaningful relationships, manipulating information to distort understanding, or enforcing social norms that suppress personal identity. These tactics often serve to weaken collective bonds and maintain control, making individuals feel isolated or powerless. By fostering alienation, entities can easier influence behaviors and attitudes, diminishing the sense of shared purpose and critical engagement within society.
