Me: In a world that endorses usury, what would be the benefit for a lender to create a false flag enemy?

ChatGPT (jan23):

In a world that endorses usury, creating a false flag enemy could be used as a tactic by lenders to justify high interest rates and to distract from their own actions. A false flag enemy could be used to create a sense of fear and insecurity, making people more willing to accept high interest rates as a necessary measure for protection.

This tactic may be used to justify high interest rates and to distract from the actions of the lender, by making it appear that the lender is the only one who can protect people from this false flag enemy. This can create a sense of dependency on the lender, making people more willing to accept high interest rates in order to access credit.

Additionally, creating a false flag enemy could also be used to justify policies that would increase the lender’s profits, such as by increasing the lender’s power over borrowers, or by limiting the competition, by making it more difficult for other lenders to operate.

It’s important to note that creating a false flag enemy is a unethical and manipulative tactic, it creates a false sense of fear, insecurity and dependency, and it distracts from the real issues and the responsibility of the lenders. It’s important to be aware of these tactics and to be critical of the information that is presented to us, especially when it comes to financial matters.
