Hegelian dialectic-a psychological tool used to manipulate the masses. In this case, you create a problem, wait for the reaction, and then offer the solution. What people historically fail to realize, though, is that those offering the solution are the same people who caused the problem in the first place. They also fail to realize that no matter what the solution is, it always ends up providing its creators with more power.
The Hegelian dialectic serves as a means of social manipulation by creating a problem, observing the public's reaction, and then presenting a solution. This psychological tactic is often utilized to control how people respond to crises or issues, allowing a select few to remain in power while appearing to serve the public's interests.
However, many people overlook that the individuals providing the solutions are typically the same ones who instigated the problems. Regardless of what the proposed solutions may entail, they tend to reinforce the existing power dynamics, benefiting those in control at the expense of the masses.
