They do it because they are part of an organization, part of the governmental establishment. Their paychecks come from the government, and they are hoping that one day their pensions also will come from the government. But the government itself still is based on the idea of popular support, on the idea of elections and votes. When the illusion machinery is no longer available to control the votes, the politicians will be making new calculations, and so will the head bureaucrats. In every case it will be their own advantage they will be seeking, of course.
Patriotism is a thing of the past.
On the other hand, if a big enough monkey wrench could be thrown into the government's gears, then even a fairly small number of determined people could wreck the illusion machinery, and I believe it's not necessary for me to explain how that could be done. But now the government and the illusion machinery support each other, and I don't know of anyone who has a big enough monkey wrench to shut down either of them. That's a shortcoming to which we must address ourselves. That was just six years ago. Patriots stormed the Russian parliament building in Moscow and also the main television station there.
