I mean rhetorical device.

Well everything you've said has been interesting so it's all fine with me. :)

Most of the time it really doesn't bother me, but I'd just had a few days where it was getting to me a bit (because of various interactions, including someone who sent a PM saying something to the effect of; 'I liked some of your comments, but when I came to your channel, I realised that you're one of those nuts') ... it happens periodically. Then I got this PM with link to your video & I suppose I just went into a 'venting mode' ... which is partly why I came back with something more pertinent.

It's all quite nauseating. And transparent.

You should see some of the drivel I type when I'm not on the ball.

Well one has to be put in a defined box or people won't know who or what you are, and that's scary because they have to be awake to relate to you. Of course beliefs about oneself are yet another box...
The way you speak about this, it comes across (to me) like a conspiracy, but I know you don't mean it like that. An interesting rhetoric used by politicians in the US is accusing someone critical of the war, as "not supporting our troops". A while ago I heard a Dutch politician use the same argument in a tv-debate. I was shocked because this was such a typical _non-dutch_ move. The guy looked like an amateur and it didn't work luckily. It's amazing how it does work in the US.

There are definite manipulations. They're unmistakable. How organised they are and whether they form part of a conspiracy or not is moot. I can't say one way or another because I don't know the facts. I'm not a conspiracist though. I have no need of there being an enemy. But I can see an unsubtle attempt to instill certain attitudes from a variety of sources.
