It summarizes a strategy often used in marketing and political propaganda. Its effects are pernicious, divisive and lead to exploitation. Examples abound. Fear is a strong motivator!

Wisdom in SpaceI think that it's an honorable thing to change your mind occasionally. I don't think it's a sign of weakness or lack of integrity.
