Fed Soc was founded to train an army of lawyers to undermine democracy and dismantle the administrative state, ultimately serving to funnel money and political power to the billionaire class. 6 of the 9 on the Court handpicked to fulfill that purpose.

They scoffed and laughed at us when we told them "thugs" and "rapists" and "MS-13" were coded.

I suppose it's possible to see the brain-control devices as a metaphor, just as the clones were.
I guess in that case it's still a flawed metaphor in that it entirely denies the troopers any agency and, as a result, any culpability.
