When you realize these two sentences are true, everything makes complete sense:
-The government want complete control of everything, everywhere at all times
-Certain people want to control certain things
The people in sentence 2 help the government in sentence 1 move forwards
This is why it takes exactly 1 activist group (often paid by the government..) to get major societal changes.
The government caters to them because ultimately its a part of what they're hoping for.
