To go further, freedom is a facade. The difference between a free society and an repressive one is not the absence of coercion, but the sophistication of the mechanisms to take the mind of the coerced off the coerced. The real oil that lubricate the functioning of society is subtle but effective coercion to ensure what needs to be done for the society is done. Police must be coerced to do their duty if they otherwise would not.
Apologies for the simplicity, but in this (and in this only), I'm a Churchillian at heart, in that the polysyllabic superfluity of extraneous bombastic circumlocution serves merely to give vent to the loquacious propensities of the interlocutor involved, and provides miniscule assistance in the dissemination of pedagogic enlightenment of the assemblage of listeners or readers, such methodology being non-percipient.
