What about it is "sci-fi shit"? Trauma induced mental states? Disassociation from reality? Multiple Personality Disorder? Hypnotism? Human Trafficking and enslaved children being tortured? The term "Mind control" may conjure up images of sci-fi or fantasy, but there is a real practice.
It doesn't work on everyone, and it's resource intensive, so most of what goes on is through the systems of secret societies, and through the blackmail you mention.
Because it's unnecessary.
That isn't an answer to any question that I asked. Life isn't as simple as you make it out to be.
