This is one of the ways that people are persuaded to think like the interlopers want, to present them with a confrontation of some kind as a thought, a possibility, a description, an idea that the interlopers will know is triggering for the human target. So this is why it is a direct manipulation, because it is intended to cause a disturbance, or a shift in thoughts and feelings, in a way that will serve the overall strategy of divide and conquer. You see this playing out every day on your television screens, particularly in the arena of politics where the same idea or circumstance presented to members of the "political left" and met with acceptance, and perhaps even glee, will disturb and outrage members of the "political right" and vice versa. This is an economy of effort because one message can appeal to one side and inflame the other depending on how it is constructed and delivered.
Many concepts and keywords are cultivated to become triggers, hot buttons, so to speak, and there are innumerable examples in the common parlance. The fact so many phrases and wordings have become tainted through association, to be considered racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and so forth, is a legacy of all of the disinformation campaigns and subliminal programming to keep alive racism, sexism, and so on. That is why the old prejudices of the past never quite die out, they are not allowed to, they are served up again and again in new ways, and even eventually causing the divisions to switch sides, eventually, so the victims of prejudice become prejudiced themselves and the very same triggers used in new ways to condemn an opposite perspective. This is a quite nefarious and clever manipulation that taints everyone, to some degree, because it is unavoidable, being omnipresent, as it is beamed to you subliminally 24/7 through the media and all of the electronic emanations used as a carrier wave into the deep subconscious.
