We're all walking around keeping secrets about the catastrophic disasters we've seen on the inside of companies, because we're afraid that other companies won't hire us if we talk about them. If we all talked, a lot of those companies would just be gone.

It's a great example of how the structure can only exist because of the implicit threat of violence.

If any one of us does talk, then the violence becomes explicit, and they get destroyed as a warning to the rest of us. In this way, acts of individual defiance serve to reinforce the system, not challenge it.
