How do you define it and how does it define us?
Why are some people motivated to try to control others with this technique?
Why are most people seemingly so vulnerable to it?
How can we insulate ourselves from it?
I think you can find this going on in politics, religion, employment, various family relationships and perhaps many more situations, depending on how you choose to define it. I'd say this has been a problem for humanity all along. I'm not sure if it is more prevalent today than in the past. I find it surprising that it is still so effective, as people have so much power to research the truth today if they care to do so.
