Gas lighters tend to be psychopaths. They are selfish people who put their will above everything and everyone. No social norm or taboo can change their desire. The establishment use Machiavellian theory to retain and increase influence over the public. Many consider "the Mach", the father of gaslighting.
If we look at groups of people as a multi-celled organism, the establishment is a giant. A bad giant that is also a psychopath. Sleep well.
