Have there been any research on how power actors infiltrate hierarchies? I have only seen a CIA manual on sabotagong meetings [1]. I have previously been at small companies with former FAANG employees, and they get fortified. They set well defined roles of soldiers and spies that will do everything to twist your arm, if you don't comply they'll push you out. These, in principle non-illegal, shadow hierarchies become the actual rulers of company as they control information flow to management, and they tend to keep the __harmony__. Most of news media seems to be under control, with media on sync with goverment's tune. Scientific journals requiring bribes means they haven't been infiltrated enough, but that will happen, there is a perverse interest in place. When we find there is no more disagreement, we will know the shadow hierarchy is doing its work. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39073285 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39073285
