Think of it as a way to avoid karmic debt. Example; person 1"hey cock bag I'm going to rob you" Person 2 "oh god don't rob Me please here just take whatever you want don't hurt me" See in this example, person. 2 was told what was going to happen, and instead of saying no, or fighting back. Person 2 gave person 1 what they wanted. They were never really robbed then. Just coerced. In (((their))) religion, if they tell you the truth, even if it's indirectly in a movie, or done in a secret coded message you don't understand. They told you and gave you the opportunity to say no. When Russel brand is telling you what they are doing and we go "ha knew it" and still do nothing. They avoid most of the karmic debt. He is, in a sense controlled "opposition"
