That's interesting about the beggar technique. In India they target westerners/foreigners (videshi) the same way by damaging the kid's head. In contrast to Romania, the local Indian police took their cut directly from the beggar women. I don't think there was any hierarchy in the begging culture there, but I may be wrong.

India driving rules: The bigger your vehicle the more right-of-way you have. Buses and trucks are on top and bicycles and pedestrians on the bottom. Although one time a German killed a cow. Stupidly, he stopped and the mob killed him. So, if a real Indian happened to hit a poor kid or force someone else off the road in India, or Africa or wherever, he would just keep going, assuming his car (or power) was bigger.

It sounds like the Roma have adopted a more complex but similar strategy using the Indian concept of bak shish, a bribe really, to deal with all this through an insurance shakedown in cooperation with the police. You expedite the power hierarchy resource extraction formula, as you say.

Here in the States we are approaching this type of thinking in a roundabout way through what I call the sacred-victim, entitled parasite culture (S-VEP). The mechanism, rather than child mutilation (or come to think of it we're there already), is something called "human rights", an idea that the Roma might consider exploitable. All you have to do is BE BORN to a particular race or sex in order to acquire bak shish (rights) in either cash or special treatment. The Philanthropy Complex would love to support the Roma as marginalized victims. They wouldn't need to fake an accident or openly mutilate kids. But then they'd lose agency so maybe the Roma wouldn't like that. I don't know.

When I think about it the Roma/Indian way is more honest and "erect." Yes, they do bad things but at least they're doing it with a certain kind of agency. They know what they are doing is bad but they do it anyway, like Lucifer, I will not serve. The S-VEP just turns humans into cattle, animals without agency, or even the ability to view bribery and corruption as a bad thing.
