Semi-related to the equivalence of prissy prudes and raunchy Playboys. Reprint from 2017, branched from an earlier thought about jury selection.

The natural tendency of modern governments is CLAMP CLAMP CLAMP. Every problem must be solved by TIGHTENING THE SCREWS. It’s a one-way ratchet** like a giant Zip-tie or a giant cable comealong.
The normal way to solve the jury problem is to declare War On Skippers. Require 100.00000% compliance AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE. All skippers and all people who THINK of skipping and all people who THINK ABOUT THINKING ABOUT skipping must immediately be hauled off to jail without a trial, jury or otherwise, and serve an irreducible maximum sentence, after which they must be watched forever like sex predators. This is the only way to guarantee PERPETUAL EXPONENTIAL INCREASE in the budget and workforce and POWER of the jury system.
Instead, the county solves the problem by loosening. Make it clear that jury service is a duty, don’t advertise that there’s no penalty, and treat the people who do respond with RESPECT. Result: Minimum expense, no resistance, the appropriate people self-select and voluntarily return when called again, even after they’ve learned there’s no penalty. Repeat customers are the best measure of success.
I’ve heard ancient tales claiming that most of USA STRONG’s government used to work this way. I don’t know if those stories are believable, but I know that this one piece in this one place DOES work this way, so it’s doubly worth assisting and preserving.

Emersonian justice:
Intel agencies formerly worked in a looser way as well. In the 50s and 60s CIA exerted its chaotizing influence indirectly and implicitly by quietly subsidizing avant-garde “artists” and “musicians” and “architects” who seemed to be experts at ruining culture. This setup worked nicely. Chaos grew at an appropriate rate WITHOUT GENERATING RESISTANCE.
Now the CLAMP CLAMP CLAMP tendency is breaking the hold of CIA over the culture. Instead of passively encouraging chaos and ugliness and mayhem, CIA’s Soros division funds “two” “sides” of violent revolutionaries to smash up everything. People are starting to SEE what’s happening, and starting to DESIST by refusing to join either “side”.
Simultaneously a brand-new tendency toward PRISSINESS is breaking CIA’s formerly complete hold on knowledge. In the 50s and 60s CIA had agents and wiretaps on every group that seemed promisingly destructive. Their goal was to KNOW EVERYTHING without being known, to avoid creating alternative channels.
Now the PRISSY tendency drives CIA’s Google and Paypal branches to cut off connections to groups with the wrong tone. Like the classic sniffy feminist bluenose, CIA says “Hmph. I’m sure I do not know any of the vulgar types to whom you have reference. I only know persons with whom one can have a proper and delicate conversation.”
Cutting off communication and banking is a VISIBLE act which SHOWS you who is part of Five Eyes and who is not. Organizations that remain connected are Five Eyes. This VISIBILITY will inevitably create ALTERNATIVE CHANNELS for communication and banking. Nothing mysterious about this. Prohibition always generates smuggling.
Thanks, Ralph!

The latter prediction turned out right, though I’m sure most of those alternative channels are also part of Deepstate. See Bitcoin. The DESISTORS who simply reject both sides are NOT part of Deepstate.
