-Throughout this wiki, this term is used as shorthand to refer to agents of all kinds, who are participating (knowingly or unknowingly) in the furthering of top-down agendas. \\ \\+Throughout this wiki, this term is used as shorthand to refer to agents of all kinds, who are participating (knowingly or unknowingly) in the furthering of top-down agendas on some kind of managerial level. There is obviously a spectrum in terms of the level of involvement and participation in agendas - from the toilet cleaner at the pharmaceutical company up through to the CEO (and beyond) but generally speaking, the more active the individual in furthering these schemes, the more they fit into the category of 'them' as opposed to a mere [[useful-idiot|useful idiot]].\\ \\

Of course, they may believe that there are good reasons for them to be doing so, or that [[the-end-justifies-the-means|the end justifies the means]], and so on, but the distinction being made is that 'they' are part of the mechanism which is moving the needle (so to speak) on larger population groups.  \\ \\

The consultant may likewise be deluded into thinking they are somehow participating in a 'good thing' (and just coincidentally getting paid a lot of money to do it) but they are one step up the hierarchy and thus further along the spectrum. \\ \\
