I just listened to the Behind the Bastards on the Khmer Rouge (more specifically Norodom Sihanouk) which highlighted the repeated authoritarian strategy of consolidating political power by demonizing urban populations (and thus, competing political elites / operatives) in the eyes of rural populations. It’s insane how much of that effort is borne in the American context simply through commercial avenues.
