Yep I am being sarcastic and simultaneously bewildered at how brazen these people have become at openly mocking their citizens with these humiliation rituals and the NPCs enjoy such.

Mock them back and build back better. By so doing you reduce their relevance in your life in all the meaningful ways. If you are built for it, 1776 also works
