In the Name of Compliance

They like to get you in a compromising position
Well, they like to get you there and smile in your face
Yeah, they think they're so cute when they got you in that condition
But I think it's a total disgrace
--John Mellencamp

One lesson learned from this past year's events: how much authoritarianism still exists in the world. Not just among governments, but in everyday people. Individuals seeking to force others to do their bidding.

When those individuals cannot apply sufficient force on their own, they are willing to partner with strong armed government agents to get what they want.

This is a partnership in the name of compliance.
