Reply #139: Brute Force [View All]

[buzzsaw_23]

This doesn't always have to come in the appearance of the jackboots at your door. It can be a bit removed as in the threat of imprisonment if you don't moderate your behavior within the dictates of the controllers.

Foucault has written some thought provoking essays on the institution as a form of social control and tacit coercion.

Now this force can also be leveraged in an abstract form such as rent and the threat of losing your shelter if you don't adhere to the mandates of the controllers. This is the most prevalent form of social control in the American suave technocratic dictatorship.

Of course it can also mean just raw brute force as those who live in places like East St. Louis
bear witness to almost daily.
