Of course, it isn't an either/or situation. Both options will be
applied by governments when necessary. The majority can be controlled
by supplying pleasure and distraction. But there will always be some
intransigent people who will require monitoring, surveillance,
Guantanamo Bay savagery and even execution.
Whatever is required to maintain power structures will be applied.
