On a more brutal note, if an occupying force tries to keep an occupied
village of 100 in line by shooting one villager (and this to a large degree
is successful) do we say that those who get the message are now self
censoring or have effective selection processes taken place. Whatever, an
effective alignment of occupier values and goals is now put in place.
People understand what is wanted and understand the price to pay for
changing the alignment.

That's explicitly assuming an awful lot and implicitly assuming even
more. I'll stick with the self-censorship explanation. Now, how about
coffee?
