    Skill issue, power doesn’t work like that anymore, at least not without expensive brute force. Even states don’t do this open Submit-Or-Else anymore.

      Well, not to everyone. At-least they wait for a dissident to have a following then make an example of them. Still submit or else, just with a degree of slack built into it for ease of enforcement.

        Counterinsurgency basically. Naturalising your violence (If you keep doing this, we are forced to do x) and personalising resistance (You resisting our beloved cop, hurt them). What they won’t do is say SUBMIT OR I KILL. The euphemisation of power exertion is really important.
