How the "Hero" Propaganda Works

 After 9/11, the media hyped the heroism of "first responders", i.e. police and firemen and EMS. At first they hyped the heroism of the NYC police and firefighters, but gradually they expanded the hero worship to all police and firemen.

The same thing happened in the corona hoax. At first, the media and government hyped the heroism of the doctors and nurses in NYC. If you can remember, during the first wave of propaganda about this fraud, there were dire videos of mass graves, and even fraud stories about the possibility of using Central Park to stack up dead bodies. That was all a lie, but it made the people who were dealing with corona seem especially brave.

It doesn't matter that the doctors and nurses who were treating corona patients in NYC were killing them in droves. They (or something in the hospitals) killed off more than 10x as many people as doctors and nurses did in other areas and hospitals fired doctors who questioned the methodology. But sure, they were all heroes. Then the media expanded that hero narrative to all "front line" workers. Of course, it's also possible that all the stats about deaths were just made up, and the doctors were as competent as other doctors around the country.

So in both 911, and in coronabologna, the media created new "terms of art", or an argot and slang peculiar to this event. Slang creation is common among gangs. It creates an in-group feeling. The new words are like a shiny new thing that sticks in the brain like an ad slogan. "Social distancing" is one such term. "Front line worker" and "first responder" is another. Not only does the new term create the in-group feeling, it also characterizes the event. For example, the "front line" suggests there's a war versus a  flu/cold bug.

The praise that's heaped on some group by the media and politician scumbags stirs up a mild sense of envy in the public. The group that's getting all the adulation is put up on a pedestal, and their typically mundane and boring jobs are made to seem supernaturally special. At the same time, it makes the politicans and scumbag media seem very important because they are the ones bestowing the praise.

That sense of envy is sort of like a vacuum/attractor of the public. It makes them think the whole production is good. So in 911, the bravery of the cops and firemen that was praised by the criminals in media and government helped steer the public to want mass murder of people in Iraq, who had absolutely nothing to do with 911. In the covid panic, the hero worship of dancing tik tok doctors and nurses in their otherwise empty hospitals led to the public wanting everyone to be locked down and managed and wear masks forever.
