Fear and danger = scarcity

The political analogue to scarcity is threats to a person's or a community's security. Fear and danger are the political experiences of scarcity. When the rulers take away the concentrated surplus that should by rights go to the most dispersed populations, they need to replace it with the semblance of scarcity. To accomplish that they simulate scarcity politically by deploying the weapons of mass distraction, the bogus threats of a trumped up aggression from either Israel or America or whatever.
