Mathew Crawford argues that the purpose of the "occult" is to cause mass confusion. The politicization of everything also causes mass confusion.
Although I consider myself a midwit, I judge –and I reckon I judge correctly,– that these two tactics (occultism and politicization) are branches of the same tree, but not the same branch.

Although I consider myself a midwit, I judge –and I reckon I judge correctly,– that these two tactics (occultism and politicization) are branches of the same tree, but not the same branch.
I further say that the people who cannot be confused with one tactic are very likely wide open to be conquered by the other one.
And it is depressing to increase knowledge of any of these two, but it's even more depressing to be always at the mercy of the obsessions of the occultists and the politicizers. Although it's bitter, it's better to learn than to learn not.
Funny thought: many skeptics argue that there is no such thing as a spirit. It follows that there is no attacks on spirit. Only on matter. For these skpetics, occultism would be almost identical to politicization. Yet, they protect themselves from the former, but are beaten to a pulp by the latter.
If we assume that in order to cause mass confusion the tacticians are after the people's weak spots, then they (occultism and politicization) might even be the same branch.

Occultism attacks spiritually as its primary vector.
Politicization attacks materially as its primary vector.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
