"It's crazy. Why can't people see through the haze of deception?"
It seems relevant to distinguish between A) those who literally are not capable of the caliber of thinking necessary to see through systematic deception - especially younger generations for whom it is officially no longer a priority to teach at an early age HOW to go about learning to think for themselves, versus B) those who are capable but usually manage to avoid the difficult thinking process because this leads them away from their happy place.
Getting to your question - why?, a reason that comes to mind has already been discussed here; the ongoing widespread culture of people knowingly or unwittingly being subtly trained & conditioned to be reliant on somebody else, for the whole range of anything to everything. Imagine what the long term effects may be? People are generally aware of the "use it or lose it" catchphrase, but how many do you think can even conceive of losing the capacity to think for themselves? It's one thing to imagine how, in the short term, this affects people's motivation to even give a try at self sufficiency for even the most trivial of life's pursuits. It's another thing all together to consider what can already be readily observed in the present culture, and then try to project what this culture will soon evolve into during the near future newer generations.
A relevant quotes from the past:
"And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing … a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods."
