Reminds me of the story from first season of Blowback, when the CIA gave burner phones to a bunch of civilians to be informants, and eventually a handler got a call from someone clearly under duress, and when he answered a different voice could be heard saying, “We knew you were CIA” before it went dead.
That was one of Graeber's main points in Debt: the first 5000 years, debt is a perfect way to turn relations of violence on their head, making the oppressor seem the victim, and the victim seem to be the one in the wrong.
I hope V*ush feels as miserable as he looks
