The concept of "crisis-to-control transitions" is about major shocks (real, perceived, or exploited) creating a window for rapid, top-down shifts in power, policy, or societal control. These are not always clean "manufactured" plots. Sometimes they are opportunistic exploitation of genuine chaos, but the pattern is the same regardless: disorientation plus urgency plus pre-existing agendas, equals accelerated consolidation of authority, economic restructuring, or technocratic measures
This is discussed in Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine - where it's called "disaster capitalism," drawing on Milton Friedman's observation that "only a crisis - actual or perceived - produces real change"
