When Pakistan cedes control of it's printer... control over inflation, A taxation by any standard... cedes it's sovereignty.
The puppets play to the puppet master. The clowns perform circus acts... illusions, optics and dreams, big talk of rights making mountain out of a mole hill.
Remember there is no war really when you can simply hire your opposition. Obvious slavery and battles are easier to fight... ones with intellectual slavery are seldom won. For starters, you must have knowledge of this matrix, this servitude/bondage. The reason for an obedient grind, the reason you force yourself to do things you otherwise wouldn't, a clock you must meet and certain standards you must follow. For individual native or personal mores count less, corporate standards derive the narrative of good or bad behavior and approved appearance, attire, attitude, communications and resolutions. It is all jotted down for the good boy! And one need not be that upright once off the clock.
It is how still in hostile landscapes willing minds, sellouts, opportunists or mere ambitious ones are hired to form parallel governments, yes governments, with proper clowns supposedly representing a population mired in the grind and perhaps even seeking confrontation from the colonizers... but these native clueless clowns do their jobs faithfully. They perform ritual acts of opposition and governance, after all circus must look real or it looses appeal.
It so happens still, Afghanistan and Iraq are just the latest examples...
Hello East India Company, Are you still hiring?
