Criticism section

What, if anything, is the source for the uncited (and not terribly coherent) Criticism section of this article? Either we should cite for this section and clarify it, or we should remove it. - Jmabel | Talk 20:26, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I'm concerned, scrap the whole thing. It is unverified and seems like (very poorly written) soapboxing. Besides, if I follow the segment's tortured logic, these paragraphs comment on a "false" left right paradigm, which isn't what this article is about, and it certainly isn't criticism of the actual subject of the article. Remove as unreference, speculative, and illogical. Drmies (talk) 20:36, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Which reminds me: I just sort of ran into this and did the best I could to verify the content, for notability purposes. It's not a very notable topic, and I think I included all that I could find. Drmies (talk) 20:38, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  Fast forward to 2022. No need for citing now that Fox News and CNN/MSNBC make it so obvious. 2605:E000:FFC0:1:2CB6:EC30:6EBB:AEBF (talk) 06:35, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, the cut section follows. If anyone can turn this into something cited, decently written, and relevant, feel free. - Jmabel | Talk 20:43, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

==Criticism==
False Left-Right Paradigm: The political conspiracy theory that states that the two political parties both liberal and conservatives, share a common interest and goal, as a one body ruling authority over its masses. The two parties act to influence the general population while keeping control of the political spectrum.

The False Left-Right Paradigm theorizes that both political groups use its media channels to dramatize party warfare distraction, in grand performances of bureaucratic rivalry meant to propagandize and divide the audience. Psychological warfare is coordinated on all levels of politics and fed through media controlled outlets, to divert attention away from the ruling class's hidden agendas. By drawing attention to differences between two political systems, ideologies, races, and classes, the political groups obscure and divide unity among the masses. This tactic creates confusion and frustration among the population, enabling the global elite to preserve stolen wealth and power through maintaining the illusion of a two-party system of checks and balances. The two-party system of checks and balances becomes ineffective, limiting individual liberties and fostering an environment of political corruption.
