Are you just taking internal jokes of a repressive regime as representative for a country?


Most of bureaucrats of any 20th century regime, first or second half the century, remained working within country's structures after the fall of the regime. If not for government officially, then at least in law, debt collection, or security industries. The general attitude hadn't changed only because the regime failed.


British jokes can be deadly, too!
