Occupied people practice dissemblance in every contact with the occupier

Evidence

From this point on, the real values of the occupied quickly tend to acquire a clandestine form of existence. In the presence of the occupier, the occupied learns to dissemble, to resort to trickery. To the scandal of military occupation, he opposes a scandal of contact. Every contact between the occupied and the occupier is a falsehood. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 224
