To fictionalize something. Jason Bourne, the hunger games, just to take a couple examples. Growing up I always thought that the world was extremely boring and mundane. Without entirely realizing it, I thought that anything extreme or incredible or exciting only existed in fiction, because in fiction people could create any reality the author could imagine. Now from the perspective of TPTB, this mental sorting of concepts like CIA assassins, or of a dystopian reality where the elites have taken control of society and impoverished and oppressed the peasant class, into fiction, could be used as a cover for things TPTB would like to be perceived as fiction. Supervillains, as well as superheros, in fact any reality besides the docile consumer based normal, could be castigated as impossible besides in fiction. Taking the reality of certain extraordinary real phenomena, and reserving its mass public perception to strictly fictional. Zombies? Aliens? maybe hordes of zombies wont start eating peoples brains like in the movies, but if your own family members personalities can be rearranged by ideologies and movements, are they people or are they ideological zombies? or mkultra zombies? the nazis were in part a cult of "purity," who considered the jews as rats, distgusting and vile and spreaders of disease. purity is one of many ideals that can be utilized in massive public movements, almost like a mind parasite zombifieing a population. As it turns out fiction is almost exclusively based on the most extreme elements of reality. Life doesn't imitate art, art fictionalizes reality.
