Anyways, the world isn't a ball which is pushed once and moves with constant velocity.
There are always forces tugging and pushing to modify the default. So unless the military is actively changing the default, they aren't not manipulating the default.
No I did not, but thanks for the clarification.. which I quite like (though I don't really understand the double negative).
I think along pretty similar lines, and the ball analogy is quite apt. It took a lot of propaganda to get the ball moving in the first place, but only takes a little bit to keep it going in the same direction. But make no mistake, it is manipulation and it is forced, however gentle that force may be..
