> US schools apparently conduct surprise active shooter drills with simulated gunshots

I didn't know that. It reminds me of this joke / supposition from the late comedian Trevor Moore:

"What if governments learned from the MKUltra experiments in the 50's that trauma allows you to control people, so they purposely orchestrate disastrous events to keep their citizens afraid + dependent on them, and that's one of the reasons that mental illness has been rising? lol"

sounds like Timothy Snyder's sadopopulism.
