I don’t really get it, are they larping the government?
In case you’re not joking, they are the government - see the linked context (I’ve added a second “context” link with the exact screenshot)
They’re larping James Bond/Jason Bourne/Jack Ryan, they are the government, and they’re coming across as more Other Barry/Len Trexler (post Ludovico technique)/Nikolai Jakov.

The more you grow older, the more you realize everyone is LARPing everything, and it has always been that way.
